In this context, Ecuador is a country with a great biodiversity in flora and ethnicities, where plants have been used over time as a treatment for various diseases. Ancestral knowledge and the use of plants in the country are transmitted empirically, hence the importance of derived research that provides a scientific sustenance of their effects. The objective of the research was to evaluate the anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic effect of Ilex guayusa, Uncaria tomentosa and Croton lechleri extracts on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The extracts were obtained by maceration in 96% ethanol, distillation, freeze-dried and resuspended in PBS 1X. I know used the MFC-7 cell line for the surface adhesion-dependent clonogenic assay, as well as for the assay called Soft Agar, each assay consisted of evaluating the effect of various concentrations of the extracts, with such concentrations being 3 µg/µL, 0.3 µg/µL and 0.03 µg/µL. The results showed that several of the extracts analyzed possessed an anti-proliferative activity on MCF-7, with Croton lechleri extract having the greatest effect in inhibiting cell proliferation. Furthermore, the Soft Agar trial, made it possible to determine that the extracts of Ilex guayusa had an anti-metastasic activity dependent on concentration, the higher concentration effect; Uncaria tomentosa and Croton lechleri had a greater effect in inducing metastasis, where total effectiveness was observed in dilutions 3 µg/µL and 0.3 µg/µL; presenting in the dilution 0.03 µg/µL of Croton lechleri a significantly positive anti-metastasic activity compared to Positive Control. The results were analyzed by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) Conpos Test de Tukey, obtaining a significance of ≤ 0.05 which allows us to accept the alternating hypothesis.Item “Evaluación del efecto antibacteriano de los extractos de plantas medicinales del Ecuador”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2019-10-01) Núñez Hernández, Erika Tatiana; Gudiño Gomezjurado, Marco Esteban Dr.In the last decade, worldwide data shows the continued increase in resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials.

Baccharis salicifolia and Mansoa alliacea are medicinal plants with important pharmacological actions such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antipyretic and anticancer, used mainly by the indigenous and Shuar population of Ecuador. The present investigation had the objective of establishing the antimicrobial activity of these medicinal plants in Escherichia coli. The methods used to obtain the extracts were maceration in ethanol and decoction. To evaluate the antimicrobial activity, the logarithmic phase of Escherichia coli was determined, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was evaluated by means of 600nm readings correlated with the microbial viability of the Bromide 3- (4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-) test. ilo) -2,5-diphenyltetrazole (MTT) and checked on Mueller Hinton agar. The statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA; obtaining as a result that the extract of Baccharis salicifolia presented a CIM 16.2, 8.1 and 4.1g / mL while Mansoa alliacea showed a CIM 14.2 and 7.1g / mL.
