“…Presence of phenols was observed, as well as alkaloid type compounds, saponins, sesquiterpene lactones, lactones, and coumarins. Studies in other species have demonstrated these compounds, mainly chlorogenic acid in Cecropia glaziovii, Cecropia obtusifolia, Cecropia pachystachya, and Cecropia peltata (Andrade-Cetto and Wiedenfeld, 2001;Lacaille et al, 2001;Herrera-Arellano et al, 2004;Andrade-Cetto et al, 2007;Rocha et al, 2007a;Nicasio-Torres et al, 2009;Andrade-Cetto and Vázquez, 2010;Aragão et al, 2010;Arend et al, 2011;Mora Izquierdo et al, 2011;Nicasio-Torres et al, 2011;Petronilho et al, 2012;Beringhs et al, 2013;Cruz et al, 2013). In addition, for Cecropia glaziovii caffeic acid (Arend et al, 2011;Beringhs et al, 2013); protocathechuic acid in Cecropia glaziovii (Lacaille et al, 2001); alkaloids in Cecropia pachystachya, Cecropia glaziovii, and Cecropia peltata (King and Haddock, 1959;Consolini and Migliori, 2005;Ninahuaman et al, 2007).…”
