Pilocarpine produced from Jaborandi (Pilocarpus microphylus), originating from sustainable sources, extracted with high technology and destined to the drug industry. It is used in drug formulas indicated in the treatment of patients who suffer from glaucoma and xerostomia.

Jaborandi (Pilocarpus spp.; Rutaceae - Pilocarpinae) is a shrub that is quite common in Brazil, from the north of Pará state to Rio Grande do Sul state.

The plantation grows to about 4 to 5 feet high; the flowers are thick, small and reddish-purple in color, stalks separated by about ¼ last much longer. This plant is mainly found in carrasco vegetation, in rocky slopes.

The natural leaf contains an average of 0.8% pilocarpine, in addition to other alkaloids such as isopilocarpine, pilocarpidin and others. The alkaloids in jaborandi (including pilocarpine) are of a very rare type and original of alkaloid derived from histidine (an amino acid), and classified as alkaloids from imidazole. The principal chemical products found in jaborandi include: 2-undecanone, alpha-pinene, isopilocarpidine, isopilocarpine, isopilosine, jaborine, jaborandine, jaboric, limonene, myrcene, pilocarbic acid, pilocarpidine, pilocarpine, pilosine, sandaracopimaradiene, β-cariofileno and vinil-dodecanoate.

Jaborandi has been one of the most important commercial species of the native Brazilian flora for the past thirty years.
