PARDO CONCEPCION, Abel A; TRIAY GONZALEZ, Marta E; CUELLAR CUELLAR, Armando  e  AGUERO AGUERO, Juan. Cecropia peltata l.: Estudios farmacognósticos y de la composición de ácidos grasos libres. Rev Cubana Farm [online]. 2000, vol.34, n.2, pp. 129-133. ISSN 1561-2988.

The study of yagruma (Cecropia peltata L.) of medicinal use in Cuba was started with the description of the minimum pharmacognostic indexes necessary to establish the quality of the leaves of the plant as a drug, as well as the study of the scouring fraction from where a mix of 11 freely methylated fatty acids is crystallized. These acids are characterized by gas chromatography matched to masses. 50% of these acids are unsaturated, which may favor the popular use of the plant with antiasthmatic ends.
