| Abstract: | This study involved several plants collected from February to May of 2014 in Amecameca, State of Mexico, Mexico. The collected species were Castilleja tenuiflora Benth., Lupinus campestris Schltdl. & Cam., Salvia gesneriiflora Lindl. & Paxton, Senecio barba-johannis DC., Salvia hispanica L., Stevia monardifolia Kunth, Senecios alignus DC., Zephyranthes verecunda Herb., Asclepias notha W.D. Stevens, Cestrum roseum Kunth, Bouvardia ternifolia (Cav.) Schltdl., Phaseolus coccineus L. The plant material underwent to a qualitative assessment of the present main chemical groups and some secondary metabolites such as caffeic and chlorogenic acid, total phenols and flavonoids. Also, the antioxidant capacity of the collected species was evaluated using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) method. Our results indicated that the plant commonly known as ‘chamiso’ and taxonomically identified as Stevia monardifolia showed promising antioxidant properties (109±11.0 mMEAA). These results correlate with the high content of caffeic and chlorogenic acid (6.1 and 553 ppm, respectively), phenolic compounds (967±36 mEGA/gdw) and total flavonoids (136± 10 mEQ/gdw), which makes this plant an interesting candidate for more specific pharmacological studies. |
