Resumo: Based on ethnobotanical studies, the Aspidosperma excelsum was selected due to its highest claim of popular use for malaria and febrile diseases treatments. This species is rich in secondary metabolites as alkaloids and therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic, toxicological and biological activity of alkaloids isolated from Aspidosperma excelsum by in silico studies. All substances already isolated from this species were submitted to predictive studies of biological, toxicological and pharmacokinetic activities. Predictive studies of biological activities did not attribute the antimalarial activity to pure substances. However, other activities were found, such as: action on central nervous system and antineoplastic activity. In pharmacokinetic terms, many substances showed an inhibitory action on cytochrome P450 (CYP) and many adverse reactions, highlighting actions on the CNS. Also, several alkaloids, being nitrogenous substances, presented mutagenic or genotoxic activities. Thus, it is demonstrated the species potential for biological activities not yet studied, as well as the importance of investigating its pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties, justifying the accomplishment of the present study.

Esta especie es rica en metabolitos secundarios, entre ellos alcaloides, por lo que el objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la actividad farmacocinética, toxicológica y biológica de alcaloides aislados de Aspidosperma excelsum mediante estudios in silico. Todas las sustancias ya aisladas de esta especie fueron sometidas a estudios predictivos de actividad biológica, toxicológica y farmacocinética. Los estudios predictivos de actividades biológicas no han atribuido esta actividad antipalúdica a sustancias puras. Sin embargo, se encontraron otras actividades, tales como: acción sobre el sistema nervioso central y antineoplásico. En términos farmacocinéticos, muchas sustancias mostraron una acción inhibidora sobre el citocromo P450 (CYP). Además de muchas reacciones adversas, destacan las acciones sobre el SNC. En cuanto a la toxicidad, varios alcaloides, al ser sustancias nitrogenadas, mostraron actividad mutagénica o genotóxica. Así, demuestra el potencial de esta especie para actividades biológicas aún no estudiadas, así como la importancia de investigar sus propiedades farmacocinéticas y toxicológicas, justificando la realización de este estudio.A partir de estudos etnobotânicos, selecionou-se a espécie Aspidosperma excelsum, que apresenta maior alegação de uso popular no tratamento de malária e doenças febris.

Quanto à toxicidade, vários alcaloides, por serem substâncias nitrogenadas, apresentaram atividade mutagênica ou genotóxica.
