Female hop inflorescences (Humulus lupulus L.) have glandular trichomes that secrete a variety of secondary metabolites that are being used in sedative and cosmetic products, such as phytoestrogens and food supplements. However, most of the commercialization of hops is used in the brewing industry to aromatize and produce bitterness in beer due to the presence of bitter acids and volatile…
The proposed project explores a botanical, Harpagophytum procumbens subsp. procumbens (Burch.) DC. Ex Meisn, family Pedaliaceae (Devil's Claw; Garra do Diabo) for which there is evidence of benefit to human health, namely its use in management of inflammatory arthritis, lower back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. H. procumbens is one of the most frequently used herbal products f…
With the fast development of analytical techniques, especially chromatography and spectrometry, the time required for separation, isolation and identification of compounds from natural origin has decreased. Thus, the discovery process of novel biologically active compounds from natural resources has been facilitated, even more when this process is associated with in silico methods, for ex…

Humulus lupulus L., also known as hop, is a plant that belongs to the Cannabaceae family and is known throughout the world as a raw material in the brewing industry, as well as its role in the pharmaceutical, nutritional, food and cosmetics industries. Hop female inflorescences form the hop cones, where the lupulin glands are developed, being responsible for the biosynthesis and storage o…
The northern region of the tropical Andes in South America was subjected to a series of climate fluctuations as a consequence of the recurrent periods of glaciations and inter-glaciations that occurred in the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene, two to five million years ago. This led to the development of a new ecosystem called páramo, which combines the isothermal climatic conditions of…

Smallanthus sonchifolius ("yacón") along with the genus Espeletia (Asteraceae, Millerieae) constitute closely related plant groups native to the South American Andes. These species display not only a remarkable genetic similarity, but also a uniform secondary metabolite chemistry, producing the same structural subtype of sesquiterpene lactones (STLs). This class of secondary metabolites p…
The application of informatics methods to solve chemical problems is called chemoinformatics. A large variety of chemoinformatic tools have been developed in the last years, covering from structural representation to data analysis methods. Drug discovery can be based on screening chemical compounds, regarding their physicochemical properties, applying chemoinformatic tools. Quantitative S…
The properties of a chemical substance depend on both its structural characteristics as wellas the conditions that involve it. Quantitative Structure-Retention Relationship (QSRR)studies with the goal of understanding the behavior of natural compounds in different chromatographic conditions are proposed in this study. For this purpose, the use of analytical tools and strategies of chemome…
