abstract={Research was conducted on the biological potential and phenolic composition of <i>Tradescantia zebrina</i> Bosse. Through aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts of leaves of the species, the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total tannin content (TTC) were determined; the antioxidant activity by DPPH?, ABTS?+ and FRAP methods, as well as the biological activities, antibacterial by agar diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and anti-inflammatory under the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) method in Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice. The hydroalcoholic extract presented the highest TPC (73.07 ¡À 0.78 mg EAG/g), TFC (24.34 ¡À 0.68 mg EC/g) and TTC (26.96 ¡À 0.18 mg EAG/g), and a relevant antioxidant activity with the FRAP assay (353.92 ¡À 3.20 mM ET/g). In addition, this extract was the only one that presented an inhibition zone of 8.5 ¡À 1.4 and 8 ¡À 0.0 mm, against <i>Bacillus cereus</i> and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, respectively. As well as a higher percentage of inhibition of inflammation (47.99%), an approximate value to the reference drug used. The evidence indicates that this plant possessing pharmaceutical potential that can be further explored as a natural source of new drugs.},
