It highlights the type and structural diversity of secondary metabolites and biological activity, product of the analysis of reported results from different bioassays. The prediction of biological activity using the PASS tool (prediction of activity spectra for biologically active substances) of some of the common metabolites is also included. The use of some species from Santa Marta in folkloric medicine worldwide is also mentioned, related in some cases to the biological activity reported in the scientific literature. The species are presented in the book in alphabetical order by family and results of biological assays of fractions or total extracts are shown.
