Colombia is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity of Passifloras in the world. This genus has been extensively studied due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, particularly for the species Passiflora ligularis, which has been reported to have antihyperglycemic effects in acute in vivo models [1;2]. This activity was associated with the presence of O-glycosylated flavonoids derived from quercetin, kaempferol, and chrysin [3;4].
