Resumo
As part of our continuing chemical and biological
analyses of Rubiaceae species from Cerrado, we
isolated novel alkaloids 1 and 2, along with
known compounds epicatechin, ursolic acid, and
oleanolic acid, from Galianthe ramosa. Alkaloid 2
inhibited malate synthase from the pathogenic
fungus Paracoccidioides spp. This enzyme is con-
sidered an important molecular target because it
is not found in humans. Molecular docking simu-
lations were used to describe the interactions be-
tween the alkaloids and malate synthase.
