Ageratina glabrata belongs to the Asteraceae family and it is employed in traditional medicine as analgesic and antiiflammatory. In previous studies of this plant secondary metabolites have been isolated, mainly terpene compounds from lower polarity extracts of the aerial parts.The phytochemical study of methanolic extract from leaves of A. glabrata yielded the glucoside p-menthene 33 which was identifiedby its physical and spectroscopic data, and its peracetylated derivative 34 was prepared.
