PARTE UTILIZADA= Used part: partes aéreas.

ACCIÓN FARMACOLÓGICA= Pharmacological action: antiespasmódico, antiasmático. 

COMPOSICIÓN QUÍMICA= Chemical composition: The dichloromethane extract of the aerial parts of Grindelia discoidea afforded three new labdane diterpenoids: cordobic acid, cordobic acid 18-acetate and 7-epicordobic acid. The structures of these new isolates were deduced mainly from their spectral data, using comparisons with one another and with other labdanoids including discoidic acid, a constituent of G. discoidea reported earlier. 

ZONA GEOGRÁFICA= Geografical zone: Uruguay, centro de Argentina.
