plant extracts, Piper aduncum, Piper tuberculatumAbstract
The genus Piper, belonging to the Piperaceae family, represents around 700 species, with dimensions in different habitats, being largely exposed in humid areas, deforested areas and forests. Using this approach, the work aimed to identify the secondary metabolites of the ethanolic extract of the species Piper aduncum L., and Piper tuberculatum Jacq. The following study was carried out in three stages: collection of botanical material and herborization, extraction and phytochemical study. The botanical collection was carried out at IEAA/UFAM, and then the herborization process was carried out, which consisted of pressing, drying and assembling the exsiccates, the second process was the methanolic extraction of the aerial parts (leaves and stems) of the plant species and finally, phytochemical prospecting. For P. aduncum, the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, cardiotonic glycosides, triterpenes, coumarins and saponins and the absence of tannins were observed. While for P. tuberculatum the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, cardiotonic glycosides, and saponins was observed and the absence of tannins, coumarins and triterpenes. From this perspective, knowing which metabolites are present in plants, whether of primary or secondary origin, becomes important for the production of new medicines with effective and accessible therapeutics. Therefore, the analysis of secondary metabolites in the analyzed ethanolic extracts offers valuable insights into their chemical and biological properties. However, it is essential to continue research to validate these findings and fully explore the practical applications of these compounds.
