The Mentheae (Lamiaceae) of Perú are represented by the genera Clinopodium, Hedeoma, Lepechinia, Minthostachys, and Salvia. Mentheae metabolites can be classified into lipophilic (mono, sesqui, di and triterpenoids) and hydrophilic (phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, salvianolic acids), some of these metabolites are characteristic only for the Lamiaceae family and others have important biological properties, which has been determined the phytotherapic use of the plants studied. The objectives of this research work were to identify, quantify and obtain some phenolic and terpenoidal compounds from the alcoholic extracts of thirteen species the Mentheae tribe (Nepetoideae, Lamiaceae) from the highlands of five departments of Peru, and thus the specific objectives were: 1) The determination of its total antioxidant capacity, its content of total phenols, total flavonoids and total hydroxycinnamic acids as well as its concentration in rosmarinic acid and triterpenic acids, oleanolic and ursolic. 2) The profile of phenolic and terpenoidal metabolites by ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry in tandem UHPLC-ESI-MSMS. 3) The development of preparative methods for obtaining bioactive metabolites in those plants with high concentration in these, and 4) The evaluation of the antioxidant capacity, the content of rosmarinic acid and triterpenic acids in aqueous infusions, the traditional way of use. All the species studied have antioxidant activity directly related to their total phenol content and particularly to their rosmarinic acid content. The presence of triterpenic acids, oleanolic and ursolic is also notable in all samples. The metabolites determined by UHPLC-ESI-MSMS are flavonoids, terpenoids and notably those derived from caffeic and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-lactic acids, among which the monocaffeoylquinic acids or chlorogenic acids and the so-called salvianolic acids stand out, being the rosmarinic acid, the most important of them and from which salvianolic acids A, B and F, lithospermic acid, yunnaneic acid E, sagerinic acid and clerodendranoic acid H are produced. Salvianolic acids A and B are particularly useful for their effect against fibrosis, a pathology always present in cancers and neurodegenerative decay. The herb Lepechinia meyenii was shown as the best source of rosmarinic acid while Clinopodium revolutum as the best in ursolic acid, two pharmacologically important molecules. In addition, Lepechinia species show the presence of phenolic terpenoids,carnosic acid, rosmanol and carnosol, which are also very important bioactive molecules. On the other hand, Lepechinia floribunda and Clinopodium sericeum are the species with the greatest diversity in salvianolic acids. Thus the Peruvian Mentheae are potentially useful as phytotherapeutic agents just like their Asian and European counterparts. Subsequently, the development of optimized preparative extraction and purification methods is shown, on Lepechinia meyenii for rosmarinic acid by crystallization by vacuum dehydration and on Clinopodium revolutum for ursolic acid by recrystallization by cooling, obtaining in both cases high purity products. Finally, the total antioxidant capacity and the concentrations of rosmarinic acid and triterpenic acids in the aqueous infusions of the thirteen plants were determined, finding rosmarinic acid in all of them, more to the contrary, in none, the presence of triterpenic acids, oleanolic and ursolic. Traces of these triterpenoids have only been detected in the decoction of Clinopodium revolutum. For this reason, the presence of these substances in aqueous preparations partially justifies the use made of them. The plants with the greatest ethnopharmacological tradition are precisely those with the highest concentration of rosmarinic acid and triterpenic acids
