This studyâ??s objective was to evaluate the rescued traditional knowledge about the\nchiricaspi (Brunfelsia grandiflora s.l.), obtained in an isolated Canelo-Kichwa Amazonian community\nin the Pastaza province (Ecuador). This approach demonstrates well the value of biodiversity\nconservation in an endangered ecoregion. The authors describe the ancestral practices that remain in\nforce today. They validated them through bibliographic revisions in data megabases, which presented\nactivity and chemical components. The authors also propose possible routes for the development of\nnew bioproducts based on the plant. In silico research about new drug design based on traditional\nknowledge about this species can produce significant progress in specific areas of childbirth,\nanesthesiology, and neurology.
