description <abstract language="eng">Amaryllidaceae family is an important source of bioactive molecules and considering the taxonomic relationships, it is relevant to investigate the genus Hippeastrum. Thus, the aim of this work was to determine antioxidant and anticholinesterasic activities of Hippeastrum morelianum, Hippeastrum psittacinum and Hippeastrum santacatarina. Both antioxidant and acetylcholinesterasic activities of extracts were determinated by bioautography as 10 mg/mL and 0.1 mg/mL, respectively. The antioxidant activity of alkaloid lycorine, determinated spectrophotometrically with DPPH, indicated an IC50 value of 0.326 mM.
