Abstract
Ecuador is one of the countries with the greatest biological and cultural diversity, ethnobotany represents an approach to the use and management of natural resources; medicinal uses together with food uses play a major role in the well-being of the rural population. Ethnobotanical studies help to identify how plants are related and influence the development of cultures; such is the case of the Angochagua Community where ancestral medicine is used as a way of life. The objective of this investigation was to know the index of use value, relative knowledge of the species and the level of significant use of botanical species in the communities of Angochagua, Imbabura Province. Once the most vulnerable species in terms of loss of ancestral use Monnina crassifolia Kunth was established, chromatographic techniques were used for the isolation and identification of secondary metabolites, resulting in a possible triterpenoid saponin esterified with benzoic acid. The isolated substances were tested against Gram + and Gram - bacteria, as well as against the MAO-A and MAO-B enzyme systems without showing significant biological activity.
