Richardia brasiliensis Gomes (Rubiaceae), a herbaceous plant known as "ervanço", "poaia" and "ipeca", is popularly used as emetic, anti-diabetic, worms and the treatment of eczema, burns, bronchitis, influenza, hemorrhoids and avian malaria. Pharmacological studies have shown antimicrobial and antioxidant activity and phytochemical previous investigations resulted in the isolation of terpenoids, flavonoids and coumarin. This study aimed to contribute to the knowledge of the Richardia genus and Rubiaceae family through the phytochemical and pharmacobotanical study of Richardia brasiliensis Gomes. For this, the plant material was collected in João Pessoa - Paraíba and deposited in the Herbarium Prof. Lauro Pires Xavier (JPB) with the code Tenorio-Souza 01. In the pharmacobotanical study, the external morphology of the plant was to the naked eye and with a stereomicroscope. The microscopical morphodiagnosis were performed paradermic and transverse sections of leaves (blade and petiole), as well as transverse sections of stems and roots, which were cleared, stained, mounted between slide and coverslip and examined under the light microscope. The macroscopic anatomy of all organs revealed aspects that are common to species belonging to the family Rubiaceae, such as simple opposite leaves, interpetiolar stipules, flowering tops, flowers bisexual and actinomorphic, aestivation valve and inferior ovary. Microscopically, the leaf presents presenting the upper and lower epidermis, stomata and simple trichomes. The main vein has collateral vascular bundle. The petiole has vascular bundle arc-shaped and four small lateral bundles. In cross section, the stem secondary growth is cylindrical and the vascular system provides continuous siphonostele ectophloic organization, already has a tap root cortical parenchyma with idioblasts containing raphides and system with vascular bundle organization protostele in lateral roots and protostele radiated in the main root. For phytochemical study, vegetable, dried and pulverized, was subjected to extraction processes, and partition chromatography to isolate the chemical constituents. The chemical structure has been assessed by spectroscopic methods such as IR, Mass and uni-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR and comparisons with literature data. The hexane phase was obtained a mixture of steroids (β-sitosterol and stigmasterol) and 151-hydroxy-(151- S)- porfirinolactone a; CHCl3 phase was isolated and identified four coumarins: cedrelopsin, norbraylin, braylin and 5,6 -dimethoxy-7,8-[2'-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-(2'-S)- 2',3'-dihydrofuran]coumarin (cumarineletefin), the latter being first reported the literature, and the AcOEt phase was obtained the flavonoid kaempferol, contributing therefore to the chemotaxonomy of the Richardia genus and Rubiaceae family.
