The objective of this study was to characterize, using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry analysis, together with the evaluation of the in vitro antihypertensive activity of the pulp of Copoazú fruits. The chromatographic profile of the extract obtained with ethyl acetate indicated the presence of polyphenols such as gallic acid, and other metabolites with biological potential. Likewise, the in vitro antihypertensive activity evaluated through the ACE-I enzyme inhibition assay showed that the extract enriched in ethyl acetate obtained a percentage of inhibition compared to another Amazonian fruit
