Atriplex undulata commonly known as Zampa crespa or Cachiyuyo, is an endemic species that is found in Patagonia and the south of Buenos Aires province and which is tradicionally used as an astringent and antiequimotic. As a part of our continuing search for biologically active compounds, we have attempted to isolate and characterize the active principle responsible for antinfl ammatory activity from the ethanolic extract from the aerial parts of A. undulata, growing wild in Bahía Blanca, Argentina
