La investigación tuvo como propósito contribuir al estudio biológico y fitoquímico de las plantas medicinales utilizadas popularmente en Guatemala, por lo que resultó interesante seleccionar cinco especies del género Acalypha (Acalypha guatemalensis, Acalypha arvensis, Acalypha polysiaqiaa, Acalypha hispida y Acalypha pseiidoalopecuroides) conocidas popularmente como Hierba de cáncer. Se evaluó la actividad biocida y se demostró que existe actividad significativa para A. polystaquia, A. arvensis y A. guatemalensis contra Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 274853 y Cryptococcus neoformans C 13 a una concentración de 1 mg/mL y de 0.5 mg/mL para A. arvensis, A, guatemalensis y A. pseudoalopeculoides. Ninguna de las especies presentó actividad contra las larvas de Ahítes aegypri yAnophles albimanus. Se indentificaron los metabolites segundarios presentes en los extractos, los cuales fueron: flavonoides, antocianinas, antraquinonas, camarinas. saponinas, principios amargos y cardenólidos.
