Abstract
This work describes a comparative qualitative and quantitative chemical ana lysis of Maytenus ilicifolia and Maytenus robusta (Celastraceae). extracts by high-resolution gas chromatography (HRGC), using external standards as t he method of determination and thin layer chromatographic (TLC). The result s show that both plants have a similar chromatographic profile. However, M. robusta exhibited about three times higher concentration of triterpene fri edelin than M. ilicifolia.
