The article aims to carry out a study on the chemical applications already described for the species Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart., of the Apocynaceae family, which belongs to the Caatinga biome and has great occurrence in the states of the North and Northeast regions of the country. For this, a literature review was carried out with technological prospection, using the scientific databases Scielo, Google Scholar, PubMed and Portal Periodicals. The analysis of the results obtained point to the great importance of the occurrence of indole alkaloids due to their biological and pharmacological properties, justifying the various activities already described in research on the species and the wide application in folk medicine. There was a predominance of works developed in Brazil, being carried out specifically by Universities in the Northeast region. The activities already described in the literature about the plant species present a wide range of possibilities for future research, for example, the broader investigation about the pharmacological, insecticidal, parasiticide activities, among others, to be studied more deeply.
