In view of the therapeutic potential and popular use of the Malpighiaceae family, with emphasis on the importance of species of the Diplopterys (Banisteriopsis) genus, the objective of this study was to identify the metabolites classes of leaves and stems of Diplopterys pubipetala. The extracts were analyzed and detected 10 compounds distributed among alkaloids (2), flavonoids (3), terpenes (3), saponin (1) and lactone (1). Among the substances found, there are compounds already reported in the Malpighiaceae family. The therapeutic potentials cited in the literature for the identified substances were: antifungal, antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor actions. This work is a pioneer in the study of the chemical constituents present in D. pubipetala and opens new lines of research for this species.
