Dichondra argentea is a plant used in traditional medicine, where it has been used to relieve stomach pain, regulate fever and treat heart conditions, among other uses. Therefore, it is essential to support its use with scientific studies that validate its effectiveness and safety in the medicinal field. In the present work, the total content of phenols and flavonoids was determined by spectrometric analysis, the antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring the blocking capacity of the free radicals 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH *) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS * +). The results revealed a total phenol content of 115.27 ± 0.86 mg EAG / g ES and a total flavonoid content of 31.56 ± 1.97 mg EQ / g ES. Regarding the antioxidant activity, the ethanolic extracts of Dichondra argentea recorded an EC50DPPH value of 1.60 ± 0.005 mg / mL and a value of EC50ABTS of 0.68 ± 0.004 mg/mL. Since Dichondra argentea has been little studied, this work provides important information about this plant.
