Resumen:
Senecio nutans Sch. Bip., Senecio viridis var. viridis Phill. and Senecio spegazzinii Cabrera are native species used in traditional medicine of northwestern Argentina. The total phenolics, flavonoids and caffeoylquinic acids contents as well as radical scavenging, antioxidant, hemolytic and cytotoxic activities of aqueous extracts (infusion and decoction) for all the three species were determined. S. nutans showed to be the most active species. The extracts did not show antibacterial activity against Staphyllococcus aureus ATCC 25923, S. aureus ATCC 29213, Echerichia coli ATCC 25922, E. coli ATCC 35218, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. Alkaloids were not detected in any of the aqueous extracts from the three studied species.
