Caulerpa filiformis is a marine algae cataloged as an invasive species. In Peru, for years, its distribution was considered to the north coast (Isla Lobos de Afuera, and Piura), recently it has been reported in the central coast (Ancash, Lima and Ica). Species of the Caulerpa genus, such as C. filiformis, produce secondary metabolites with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and allelopathic properties; However, no studies of this type have been carried out in this species in our country. Therefore, the present investigation aims to evaluate the potential use of C. filiformis, from the bays of Paracas and Sechura, as a source of active principles. From the dried and powdered algae, the methanolic extract was prepared. Phytochemical screening of the methanolic extract of C. filiformis from Sechura and Paracas revealed the presence of carbohydrates, polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, lipids, alkaloids, steroids and triterpenes, for both extracts. The content of total phenols of the extract of C. filiformis of Sechura (39.31±0.39 mg of AGE/g extract) was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of Paracas (18.78±0.31 mg of AGE/g extract). In the ABTS and DPPH assays, with each sample, the antioxidant capacity of Sechura C. filiformis extract (IC50= 3.49±0.01 and 2.18±0.02 mg/mL) was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of Paracas (IC50= 6.41±0.02 and 2.42±0.04 mg/mL). In the inhibition assay of lipoxygenase, the inhibition of C. filiformis extract from Sechura was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of Paracas. In the bioassay of radicle and hypocotyl growth, the methanolic extract of C. filiformis from Sechura and Paracas, generated a positive effect in the elongation of the hypocotyl in both the lettuce and tomato seedlings. In conclusion, C. filiformis produces phenolic compounds and other chemical compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and plant biostimulant potential.
