The study of secondary metabolites found in plants is of great importance due to their biotechnological potential [1]. In the township of Santa Cecilia, Pueblo Rico, Risaralda, a participatory workshop was held with the community to select medicinal plants for traditional use. During this workshop, two plant species stood out for their relevance: the “matarratón” (Gliricidia sepium) and the “sauco amargo” (Solanum aphyodendron). The present research focuses on the phytochemical characterization of ethanolic and hydrolate extracts of these species, these were obtained through ultrasound-assisted extraction and hydrodistillation, respectively
