                Abstract

                Piper spices haven showed a great biological potential as
                natural biocide, in different organism. This is attributed to the diversity
                bioactive metabolites present in tissue. In this research we evaluated the
                nematicidal activity of different foliar extracts from Piper spices against
                Caenorhabditis elegans. We evaluated the nematicide activity of the hy-
                droalcoholic, methanolic and ethanolic extracts. Chromatography prolife
                by HTPLC and GC-EIMS of the extracts with mayor activity was obtained.
                The ethanolic extract from Piper aduncum displayed higher activity as
                lethal concentration 50 (LC50) estimated at 0.650 mg mL−1. The bioactive
                metabolites identified were alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids and
                coumarins. The GC-EIMS determinate 67 compounds in the higher activity
                extracts. Concluded the P. aduncum ethanolic extract has the higher activity
                and the mayor compounds diversity.
