Resumo: Chanana (Turnera ulmifolia L.) is a herbaceous plant, native from tropical America, Africa, India and Southeast Asia, with wide geographical distribution in the regions of northeastern Brazil. The plant is widely used by folk medicine, and its flowers are used to treat skin lesions and inflammatory processes. In view of the scarcity of studies related to the phytochemical composition of its flowers, this experimental study aimed to analyze the phytochemical profile of T. ulmifolia flowers, using qualitative methods of phytochemical detection. The study was developed through the analysis of two extracts, one aqueous (EAFC) and the other hexane (EHFC), applying maceration as an extraction method. The results showed that chanana flowers have a variety of secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, steroids, triterpenoids, anthocyanidins, chalcones, coumarins, flavonoids and tannins. Among the extracts analyzed, EAFC was shown to be richer in phytochemicals compared to EHFC. The study showed that flowers are rich in relevant secondary metabolites, which can be directly related to their medicinal properties described by popular uses. In addition, this research showed the presence of compounds not yet detected in studies related to the chemical composition of the species, such as triterpenes, anthocyanidins and chalcones.

La planta es ampliamente utilizada por la medicina popular, y sus flores se usan para tratar lesiones cutáneas y procesos inflamatorios. En vista de la escasez de estudios relacionados con la composición fitoquímica de sus flores, este estudio experimental tuvo como objetivo analizar el perfil fitoquímico de las flores de T. ulmifolia, utilizando métodos cualitativos de detección fitoquímica. El estudio se desarrolló analizando dos extractos, uno acuoso (EAFC) y el otro hexano (EHFC), aplicando la maceración como método de extracción. Los resultados mostraron que las flores de chanana tienen una variedad de metabolitos secundarios, como alcaloides, esteroides, triterpenoides, antocianidinas, chalcones, cumarinas, flavonoides y taninos. Entre los extractos analizados, se demostró que EAFC es más rico en fitoquímicos en comparación con EHFC. El estudio mostró que las flores son ricas en metabolitos secundarios relevantes, que pueden estar directamente relacionados con sus propiedades medicinales descritas por el uso popular. Además, esta investigación mostró la presencia de compuestos aún no detectados en estudios relacionados con la composición química de la especie, como triterpenos, antocianidinas y chalcones.A chanana (Turnera ulmifolia L.) é uma planta herbácea, nativa da América tropical, África, Índia e Sudeste da Ásia, com ampla distribuição geográfica nas regiões do nordeste do Brasil.
