Maca extract and procedure for obtaining compounds with antiviral activity from maca (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Maca extract and procedure for obtaining compounds with antiviral activity from maca. The present invention relates to asymmetric cyclic compounds derived from Lepidium meyenii with antiviral activity, obtained from highly apolar organic extracts of Lepidium meyenii, commonly known as maca, by means of specific extraction methods and purifications by chromatography of columns that give rise to molecules Thiopyrazolics containing a sulfur atom and nitrogens in its nucleus (Structure A), with marked antiviral activity. The process of isolation and characterization of said compounds, as well as their use, is described.
