Objective: To preliminarily determine 10 medicinal plants of the Valle del Mantaro using the qualitative (phytochemical) method for pharmaceutical use. Material and Methods: Qualitative (phytochemical) for pharmaceutical use. Results: The pharmacognostic activity of the medicinal plants are used in the Mantaro Valley: Xanthium spinosum (Juan alonso) as antitumor and anticancer, Equisetum arvense (Horsetail) as osteoporosis, blood clotting Mentha sativa L (Hierba buena) for nervousness, Rumex crispus L. (Cuturrumasa) as anti-inflammatory, Piper aduncum (Matico) as antiviral, Centauriun erythraea Rafn. (Canchalagua) as antitumor, antidiabetic, Schinus molle (Molle) as antirheumatic, Psoralea glandulosaxonomia (Culen) as hypoglycemic, Minthostachys mollis (Inca muña) as antirheumatic and carminative action, Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion) as hypoglycemic. Conclusions: According to the phytochemical analysis of the plants, they confirm the pharmacological activity for medicinal use: Xanthium spinosum (Juan Alonso), Equisetum arvense (Horsetail), Mentha sativa L. (Good Herb) Centauriun erythraea Rafn , Rumex crispus L. (Cuturrumasa), Piper aduncum (Matico), (Canchalagua), Schinus molle (Molle), Psoralea glandulosaxonomia (Culen), Minthostachys mollis (Inca Muña) and Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion). The use of medicinal plants in the Valle del Mantaro for their secondary metabolites can be associated with promising medicinal activities such as: antitumor, anticancer, osteoporosis, antiviral, antidiabetic, antirheumatic; being candidates for studies with greater phytochemical and pharmacobiological depth.
