Abstract

To determine the presence of components with antioxidant effects in the flowers and fruits of Talipariti elatum (S.w) Fryxell (Malvaceae) and to get an increase of data that allow to complete the record file for the flowers and fruits of the spice whose extracts are very use in the treatment of bronchial asthma, motivated the carry out of the present work. A study of different parameters was realized, that let to settle down quality index of the flowers and fruits of the plant in their use like crude drug. In the flowers of the spice, characteristic physicochemical values like total ashes (10.48%), water soluble ashes (8.5%), moisture content (10.85%) and extractable matter in ethanol (33,68%). In the fruits these values were, moisture content (13.47%), alcohol extractive value (4.07%), water extractive value (7.36%) and total ash (3.58%) Techniques of phytochemical screening suggest the possible presence of various groups of metabolites en both vegetable organs such as flavonoids, triterpens end steroids, reductant sugars, anthocyanidins and tannins. The study of the petals from the flowers using ethanol at 95% in serial extractions, permitted the crystallization of a wide range of products, mainly flavonoids. In ethanolic extract from the petals the product that was characterized with more facility is the flavonoid glucoside gossypitrin, while in the case of fruits were characterized two alkaloids related with tetrahydrocannabinol.
