Resumo: | The species Xerophyta stenophyla Baker of the family Velloziaceae is known in Angola as “Chá do Iona” by the people of the Muxima region, Luanda. This species is alternatively used for alleviating schistosomiasis symptoms. The information available in the literature on “Chá do Iona” is scarce. Thus, we investigated the leaf and stem extracts' preliminary phytochemical and biological screening to assess their antioxidant potential. The phytochemical profile was determined in hydroethanolic extract (5:95). The extract yield for this plant species was 0.26%, and there was a positive presence of flavonoids, coumarins, anthraquinones, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids and a negative presence of anthocyanins. Fifteen substances were identified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, among which cineole <1,8> and mentha-1 (7), 8-dien-2-ol <trans-ρ-> showed areas of 19, 31% and 17.59%, respectively. The tests for antioxidant activity confirmed the antioxidant potential of this plant. These preliminary results indicate that Xerophyta stenophylla Baker has promising pharmacological potential and can be officially included in the Angolan pharmacopeia. |

Esta especie se usa alternativamente para aliviar los síntomas de la esquistosomiasis. La información disponible en la literatura sobre “Chá do Iona” es escasa. Por lo tanto, investigamos la selección fitoquímica y biológica preliminar de los extractos de hojas y tallos para evaluar su potencial antioxidante. El perfil fitoquímico se determinó en extracto hidroetanólico (5:95). El rendimiento de extracto para esta especie vegetal fue de 0,26%, y hubo presencia positiva de flavonoides, cumarinas, antraquinonas, taninos, saponinas y alcaloides y presencia negativa de antocianinas. Se identificaron quince sustancias por cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas, entre las cuales cineol <1,8> y mentha-1 (7), 8-dien-2-ol <trans-ρ-> mostraron áreas de 19, 31% y 17,59 %, respectivamente. Las pruebas de actividad antioxidante confirmaron el potencial antioxidante de esta planta.

Usado para tratar a esquistossomose. Há pouca informação disponível na literatura sobre “Chá do Iona”, portanto neste trabalho propôs-se realizar a triagem fitoquímica e biológica preliminar das folhas e caules da planta para avaliar seu potencial antioxidante. A determinação do perfil fitoquímico foi feita em extrato hidroetanólico (5:95). O rendimento do extrato para esta espécie vegetal foi de 0,26% e houve presença positiva de flavonóides, cumarinas, antraquinonas, taninos, saponinas e alcaloides e negativos para antocianinas. 15 substâncias foram identificadas por cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massa, entre as quais cineol <1,8> e mentha-1 (7), 8-dien-2-ol <trans-ρ-> apresentaram áreas de 19, 31% e 17,59% respectivamente.
