In recent decades, studies referring to the activities of secondary compounds from plants have intensified, presenting great importance for pharmaceutical, biotechnological and agricultural industries. Therefore, objective this work was identify metabolites present in hydroethanolic leaf extract Libidibia ferrea (Mart. ex Tul.) L.P. Queiroz. To prepare extract, collected leaves were crushed constituents extracted 100g dry weight plant material, using ethanol autoclaved distilled water as an extracting medium. The identification based on precipitation coloration diluted solution specific reagents each phytochemical test. results obtained revealed presence phenols, pyrogal tanites, flavononols, catechins, flavanones, steroids saponins, with no positive reaction phlobaphenic tannins, anthocyanin, anthocyanidin, flavones, flavonols, xanthones, chalcones, aurones, tricoanthocyanidins thiocyanidins. It is concluded that species evaluated presents chemical important biological activities, noting need advanced confirm potential extract.
