Souza, Evana Figueiredo Junckes de January 2016 (has links)
Orientador : Prof. Dr. Paulo Roberto Dalsenter / Coorientadora : Profª Drª Ana Cláudia Boareto da Costa Cesar / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Biológicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Farmacologia. Defesa: Curitiba, 24/06/2016 / Inclui referências : f. 53-60 / Área de concentração / Resumo: O artesunato é um derivado da artemisinina, que tem origem da planta chinese Artemisia annua, usado no tratamento de malária falciparum. Seu uso não é indicado no primeiro trimestre de gestação devido a efeitos tóxicos para o embrião e feto demonstrados em estudos in vivo. Além disso, a artemisinina e alguns de seus derivados já apresentaram toxicidade reprodutiva. Os estrogênios estão envolvidos em processos fisiológicos e patológicos dos tratos reprodutores feminino e masculino. Ademais, alterações sexuais e reprodutivas podem estar relacionadas com a exposição a substâncias estrogênicas. Apesar de indícios de toxicidade reprodutiva do artesunato, nenhum trabalho verificou atividade estrogênica ou antiestrogênica desse fármaco. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito estrogênico e antiestrogênico do artesunato sobre o útero. Para este fim, foi realizado o teste uterotrófico em ratas imaturas, tratadas com artesunato isolado e associado ao estradiol. O artesunato foi testado em diferentes doses (6,25; 12,5; 25; 50 e 100 mg/kg), por via oral. A análise histomorfométrica das camadas uterinas (perimétrio, miométrio, endométrio e epitélio) foi realizada de forma cega manualmente e através do programa Image J®. Os resultados do teste uterotrófico demonstraram aumento uterino no grupo de ratas tratadas com artesunato na dose de 12,5 mg/kg, o que sugere estrogenicidade. Ademais, o tratamento com artesunato nas doses de 6,25 e 12,5 mg/kg combinado com estradiol aumentou a massa uterina quando ambos foram administrados pela mesma via (oral). A alteração da via de administração do estradiol (subcutânea) em associação com artesunato não apresentou diferença na massa uterina, sugerindo que o efeito estrogênico observado possa estar relacionado com a via de administração oral. Os animais tratados com as doses de 50 e 100 mg/kg de artesunato não apresentaram antagonismo quando associadas ao estradiol (na dose de 5?g/kg, s.c.), diferentemente do modulador de receptores estrogênicos, o tamoxifeno. Os resultados histomorfométricos foram coerentes com os testes uterotróficos, demonstrando que as fêmeas tratadas com artesunato na dose de 12.5 mg/kg tiveram as espessuras do endométrio e epitélio aumentadas. A associação de estradiol (por via oral) com artesunato na dose de 6,25 mg/kg aumentou a espessura do perimétrio, miométrio e endométrio. O grupo tratado com estradiol combinado ao artesunato na dose de 100 mg/kg apresentou redução do miométrio e endométrio. O tratamento por via subcutânea de estradiol na dose de 0,3 ?g/kg associada com artesunato nas doses 6,25; 12,5 e 25 mg/kg aumentou a espessura do perimétrio, miométrio e endométrio. Já a associação do estradiol, 1 ?g/kg, s.c., com artesunato em todas as doses, aumentou todas as camadas uterinas. Além do mais, as espessuras do miométrio, endométrio e epitélio foram aumentadas em todos os animais tratados com a associação de estradiol subcutâneo na dose de 5 ?g/kg. Deste modo, podemos concluir que o artesunato tem efeito estrogênico, e apresenta efeito modulador da resposta estrogênica mediada por baixas doses de estradiol, quando a administração de ambos se dá pela via oral. Palavras-chave: Artemisia annua. Artesunato. Estrogenicidade. Teste uterotrófico. / Abstract: Artesunate is a derivative of artemisinin, originates from the Chinese plant Artemisia annua, used for treatment of falciparum malaria. It is not indicated in the first trimester of pregnancy due toxic effects to the embryo and fetus demonstrated in vivo studies. Besides that, artemisinin and its derivatives have presented reproductive toxicity. Estrogenic compounds are involved with physiological and pathological processes female and male reproductive tracts. Sexual and reproductive changes may be related to exposure estrogenic compounds. Despite the evidence of reproductive toxicity of artesunate, none study found estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity of this drug. The aim of this study was to evaluate estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects of artesunate on the uterus. To this end, the uterotrophic test carried out with immature female rats. They were treated with artesunate isolated and combinated with estradiol. The doses tested of artesunate were 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, orally. Histomorphometric analysis of uterine layers (perimetrium, myometrium, endometrium and epithelium) was performed blind and manually through the software Image J®. Results of uterotrophic test showed that the group of animals treated with artesunate at dose of 12.5 mg/kg had uterine weight gain, suggesting estrogenicity. Moreover, treatment with artesunate at the doses of 6.25 and 12.5 mg/kg estradiol increased the uterine weight when both were administered by the same route (oral). The change of estradiol administration (subcutaneous) in combination with artesunate showed no difference in uterine weight, suggesting that the estrogenic effect observed may be related to the oral route of administration. The animals treated with artesunate doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg showed no antagonism when combined with estradiol (5 ìg/kg, s.c.), unlike estrogen receptor modulator, tamoxifen. Histomorphometric results were consistent with the uterotrophic test, showing that animals treated with artesunate at a dose of 12.5 mg/kg had endometrial thickness and epithelium increased. The combination of estradiol with artesunate orally at a dose of 6.25 mg/kg perimetrium increased thickness, myometrium and endometrium. The group treated with estradiol combined with in artesunate 100 mg/kg decreased the myometrium and endometrium as compared to the group treated with oral estradiol. The treatment via subcutaneous estradiol (0.3 ìg/kg) associated with artesunate at the doses 6.25; 12.5 and 25 mg/kg increased the thickness of perimetrium, myometrium and endometrium. The combination of estradiol (1 ìg/kg, s.c.) and artesunate at all doses increased uterine layers. The thickness of the myometrium, endometrium and epithelium was increased in all animals treated with the combination of estradiol subcutaneously at dose of 5 ìg/kg. Thus, we can conclude that the artesunate has estrogenic effect and modulates estradiol response at low doses when the administration of both is oral. Key words: Artemisia annua. Artesunate. Estrogenicity. Uterotrophic test.

O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi verificar a influência da deficiência hídrica e da temperatura no acúmulo de artemisinina em A.annua. Plantas submetidas à deficiência hídrica moderada (YW -1, 39 MPa) e à deficiência hídrica drástica (YW -3,44 MPa) seguida de reidratação, acumularam significativamente mais artemisinina em relação às plantas controle irrigadas. Todavia, o acúmulo de artemisinina não resultou em aumento do rendimento da molécula por planta. Com relação à temperatura, as plantas submetidas à amplitude térmica 18/28 °c acumularam significativamente mais artemisinina que as plantas submetidas à amplitude 11/20°C. Outro objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar as vantagens e inconvenientes da técnica de cromatografia em camada delgada com detecção fotodensitométrica CCD/DT, em relação à técnica de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência com detecção no ultravioleta - CLAE/UV, para análises quantitativas de artemisinina. Os resultados encontrados indicam que a técnica CCD/DT não apresenta o grau de seletividade e sensibilidade necessários para considerá-la um método quantitativo alternativo a CLAE/UV. apresentaram-se CLAE/UV. Os de obtidos artemisinina teores superestimados relação em aos com CCD/DT obtidos com / Abstract: Artemisia annua L., native of China and adapted to the Brazilian climate, is a rich source of artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone proven to be effective against the malaria agent Plasmodium. The scope of this work was to study the influence of water deficiency and temperature on the plants artemisinin content. Moderate water deficiency (YW -1,39 MPa) and drastic water deficiency (YW -3,44 MPa) followed by rehydration induced a significant accumulation of artemisinin of the dehydrated plants when compared to these with controlled irrigation. Although the accumulation of artemisinin did not result in a greater yield of artemisinin content by the plant. When temperature was taken into account, more artemisinin accumulated at the 18/28 °c temperature range when compared to the lI/20°C temperature range. Another goal of this work was to compare the methods thin layer chromatography (TLC) using photodensitometric detection with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using ultraviolet detection for the analytical quantification of artemisinin contents. The results show that the TLC method does not have the same selectivity and sensibility necessary to be a useful alternative method to HPLC. Under the experimental conditions the TLC method over-estimated the artemisinin contents compared to those determined by HPLC / Mestrado / Biologia Vegetal / Mestre em Ciências Biológicas

Antimicrobial constituents of Artemisia afra Jacq. ex Willd. against periodontal pathogens

More, Garland Kgosi 14 May 2013 (has links)
The phytochemical investigation of an ethanol extract of Artemisia afra, led to the isolation of six known compounds, Acacetin (1) 12α,4α-dihydroxybishopsolicepolide (2), Scopoletin (3) α-amyrin (4), Phytol (5) and a pentacyclic tri-terpenoid Betulinic acid (6). The isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-microbial activity against Gram positive (Actinomyces naeslundii, Actinomyces israelii and Streptococcus mutans), Gram negative bacteria (Privotella intermedia, Porphyromonus gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans previously known as Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans) and Candida albicans. The crude extract of A. afra inhibited the growth of all tested microbial species at concentration range of 1.6 mg/ml to 25.0 mg/ml. The compounds 1-6 also showed activity range at 1.0 mg/ml to 0.25 mg/ml. Three best compounds which showed good activity were selected for further studies. Cytotoxicity of the extract and compounds was determined using the XTT (Sodium 3’-[1-(phenyl amino-carbonyl)-3,4-tetrazolium]-bis-[4-methoxy-6-nitro] benzene sulfonic acid hydrate) cell proliferation kit. The antioxidant activity of the extract and compounds was done using the DPPH scavenging method. The extract showed good antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 22.2 μg/ml. Scopoletin had a strong transformation of the DPPH radical into its reduced form, with an IC50 value of 1.24 μg/ml which was significant to that of vitamin C (1.22 μg/ml). Acacetin and Betulinic acid exhibited a decreased scavenging activity with the IC50 of 2.39 and 2.42 _g/ml, respectively. The extract and compounds showed moderate toxicity on McCoy fibroblast cell line and the extract influenced the release of cytokine against Hep2 cells. Scopoletin was relatively non-toxic with an IC50 value of 132.5 μg/ml. Acacetin and betulinic acid also showed a smooth trend of non-toxic effects at lower concentrations and toxic at higher concentrations with IC50 values of 35.44 and 30.96 μg/ml. The obtained results in this confirmed the use of A. afra in the treatment of microbial infections. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Plant Science / unrestricted
