ResumoHandroanthus impetiginosus Mattos species belongs to the Bignoniaceae family and is popularly known as purple ipê.The barks and leaves of this species are used in folk medicine.The chemical composition of H. impetiginosus has been widely studied due to its pharmacological interest however, there are not many studies on the biological properties of its flowers.With this, the present work had as objective to evaluate the biological potential of acetonic and methanolic extracts and chemical composition of the hexanic extract, of the flower of the purple ipê.For this, the flowers went through extraction, partition and chromatography processes.The biological potential was analyzed using a toxicological test with Artemia salina, where the acetone extract had a cytotoxic activity better than the methanolic phase.The agrochemical potential was tested against the Cattleya nobilior species where a stimulus in the number of shoots was observed.The composition of the hexane extract was analyzed in gas chromatography coupled to the mass spectrometer, where it was possible to identify 16 compounds, of which hentriacontane is the identified compound with a major percentage of area.The results showed the potential of H. impetiginosus flower extracts and the importance of continuing studies on them.
