Piper cubeba is a species of pepper with tail, known for its many medicinal properties. The present study first focuses on the qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening, then on the antioxidant potential measured by spectrophotometry in relation to the DPPH of four (4) accessions of this species collected in the Ivorian orchard. Qualitatively and quantitatively, the results showed the presence of several phytocompounds (polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, coumarins, sterols and terpenes) in variable proportions. The DPPH test performed at different concentrations of the accessions this, compared to quercetin (the reference antioxidant), revealed a perceptible antioxidant potential.
