Comparative profiles of Achyrocline alata (Kunth) DC. and A. satureioides (Lam.) DC., Asteraceae, applying HPLC-DAD-MS

A comparative analysis between the hydromethanolic extracts of Achyrocline alata (Kunth) DC. and A. satureioides (Lam.) DC., Asteraceae, was performed by the use of HPLC-DAD-MS. Both plants were used without distinction and under the same indications in folk medicine in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. While Achyrocline alata ("jatei-ka-ha") is used in folk medicine of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, A. satureioides is predominantly used in other states. Samples of both plants collected in different periods, 1996 and 2002, showed a very similar chemical profile. The results indicate that A alata could be used in phytotherapeutic preparations as substitue for A. satureioides, since they have similar chemical compositions of the polar extract.
