Resumen
La finalidad de este estudio es cuantificar el contenido y concentración de los metabolitos secundarios en en cada extracto hidroalcohólico obtenido de las dos especies de la pelusa del choclo comparando su bioactividad con otras muestras de la misma familia vegetal puestas a discusión. Por consiguiente, se demuestra que los extractos analizados poseen una actividad antioxidante (350.91 mg/ml costa y 241.29 mg/ml Sierra) superior debido a la alta concentración de sus metabolitos secundarios cuantificados (Flavonoides 421,22 mg), además de justificar la presencia de los mismos metabolitos (Triterpenos, Alcaloides, Flavonoides y Taninos) en todos los extractos que forman parte de la investigación. Por ende, al aislar la concentración de las moléculas bioactivamente funcionales (Polifenoles y Flavonoides) se puede determinar una estadística para conocer la viabilidad en la actividad farmacológica de las distintas especies del choclo siempre y cuando las concentraciones obtenidas del control de calidad tanto en la droga cruda como el extracto reflejen los valores indicados para proceder con los estudios posteriores.
This research work seeks to validate the pharmacological use of corn fluff (Stigma Maydis) through the characterization of its secondary metabolites, extracted from two specimens collected in the Costa and Sierra region of Ecuador. To obtain the metabolites, they went through different quantitative and qualitative processes. By exposing the use of the plant for health, the aim is to reinforce its use and propose a stable and accessible alternative based on corn fluff to treat diuretic or inflammatory diseases. However, the traditional infusion or corn fluff tea, although it is already a traditional solution for discomfort, this degree work seeks to validate its use based on research on this little-explored topic. The purpose of this study on the phytochemical characterization and secondary metabolites of corn fluff (Stigma Maydis) is to quantify the content and concentration of secondary metabolites in two samples of corn, comparing their bioactivity with other samples of the same plant family put to discussion.
