CHEMOTYPE VERBOCCIDENTAFURAN IN Baccharis punctulata (Asteraceae): FURANIC SESQUITERPENES CORRELATION AND MOLECULAR DOCKING INTO THE BENZODIAZEPINE RECEPTOR by Jociani Ascari, Murilo S. de Oliveira, André L. Rüdiger, Elaine Elisabetsky, Domingos S. Nunes, Jorge Iulek, Dilamara R. Scharf, Gustavo Heiden

“…Considering the occurrence and availability of 1 in the species B. punctulata and its structural similarity to compound 2, docking calculations were performed for the interaction of both compounds with the human a1-ß2-y2 GABAA receptor. The results suggest that both compounds 1 and 2 must have affinity for the cavity at a1-y2 interface and support the development of pharmacological research on the compound verboccidentafuran 1 as a drug candidate for modulating the GABA/benzodiazepine complex in the central nervous system.…”
