Abstract
This research aimed to evaluate the potential of the fruits of Muehlenbeckia volcanica (M. volcanica) through phytochemical screening, phenol, and antioxidant activity evaluations. M. volcanica was collected in Cuyumalca, La Libertad-Peru, and a hydroalcoholic extract was prepared by macerating the fruits. M. volcanica fruits showed antioxidant potential due to their high phenolic content (58.927± 0.94mg EAG/g dry extract); IC50 of 16.422ug/ml; and 12.335mg Trolox Equivalent/gram dry extract in the 2,2-diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The phytochemical identification of secondary metabolites relates these values to flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, and phenols, all of which confer attractive potential to M. volcanica as a source of antioxidant molecules.
