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.
