Comparación de la capacidad antioxidante de cuatro metabolitos secundarios presentes en la planta amazónica Banisteriopsis caapi (Ayahuasca) frente a la N-acetil cisteína, fármaco antioxidante comercial

Abstract

Since there has been increased interest in replacing synthetic molecules for natural alternatives, this work realized a comparison of the antioxidant capacity of secondary metabolites present in the amazon plant ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis caapi) versus the pharmaceutical N-acetil cisteina (Fluimucil). The antioxidant capacity of these two compounds was evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively to reach the conclusions presented here.
