| description | Traditional medicine is part of the culture of the people, it is an expression of intangible cultural heritage that combines different traditional knowledge and practices. Medicinal plants have been used as an alternative method to conventional medicine, and their use in developing countries has been inherited generationally. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of use in traditional medicine and preliminary identification of secondary metabolites present in medicinal plants used for the treatment of ailments in two municipalities from Norte de Santander-Colombia. The research method used for the development of the project is qualitative and experimental. Interviews were conducted with 40 herbalists in the markets of the municipalities of Sardinata and Cúcuta. Experimentally, the ethanolic extract of 17 medicinal plants was obtained to identify the secondary metabolites present using the technique of thin layer chromatography (TLC). The results suggests that the secondary metabolites of higher prevalence in the most used medicinal plants are flavonoids and terpenes. Information gained from traditional and medicinal plants maintains an important cultural value and represents an alternative use for the management of ailments at low cost, highlighting the importance of phytotherapy for communities. The results of the study not only confirm the relevance of medicinal plants in the region, but also highlight the importance of continuing to research and document the applications and benefits of these plants in traditional and modern medicine. |

La medicina tradicional forma parte de la cultura del pueblo, es una expresión del patrimonio cultural inmaterial que combina diferentes saberes y prácticas tradicionales. Las plantas medicinales se han utilizado como método alternativo a la medicina convencional, y su uso en los países en desarrollo se ha heredado generacionalmente. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de uso en medicina tradicional y la identificación preliminar de metabolitos secundarios presentes en plantas medicinales utilizadas para el tratamiento de dolencias en los municipios de Sardinata y Cúcuta, Norte de Santander-Colombia. El método de investigación utilizado para el desarrollo del proyecto es cualitativo y experimental. Se realizaron entrevistas a 40 herbolarios en los mercados de los municipios de Sardinata y Cúcuta. Experimentalmente, se obtuvo el extracto etanólico de plantas medicinales con el fin de identificar los metabolitos secundarios presentes mediante la técnica de cromatografía de capa delgada (TLC). Los resultados sugieren que los metabolitos secundarios de mayor prevalencia en las plantas medicinales más utilizadas son los flavonoides y los terpenos. La información obtenida de plantas tradicionales y medicinales mantiene un importante valor cultural y representa una alternativa de uso para el manejo de dolencias a bajo costo, destacando la importancia de la fitoterapia para las comunidades. Los resultados del estudio no solo confirman la relevancia de las plantas medicinales en la región, sino que también destacan la importancia de continuar investigando y documentando las aplicaciones y beneficios de estas plantas en la medicina tradicional y moderna.
