L’étude phytochimique des hépatiques de la Nouvelle-Calédonie a été réalisée sur 34 espèces d’hépatique (dont 14 endémiques) appartenant à six familles (Plagiochilaceae, Lophocoleaceae, Lepidoziaceae, Porellaceae, Lejeuneaceae et Frullaniaceae). La composition chimique, notamment en constituants volatils principalement sesquiterpéniques, de ces espèces a pu être établie pour la première fois pour la majorité des espèces étudiées, et il s’agit de la première étude phytochimique réalisée sur les genres Chiastocaulon et Acromastigum. Environ 260 constituants ont pu être déterminés pour ces espèces ci-étudiées, ils appartiennent en majorité à la famille des terpénoïdes, et à d’autres familles de métabolites secondaires d’intérêt tels que les composés aromatiques. Quatre nouveaux produits naturels ont pu être isolés et caractérisés.L’activité antibactérienne d’extraits d’espèces issues de trois familles (Plagiochilaceae, Lepidoziaceae, Lejeunaceae) a été montrée sur deux souches bactériennes (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis). Les extraits à l’éther les plus actifs sont ceux de Bazzania parisii (actif sur S. epidermidis avec une CI50 de 19,3±0,8 μg/ml) et de Bazzania subintegra (actif sur S. aureus avec une CI50 de 16,3±1,1 μg/ml). Les extraits méthanoliques les plus actifs sont ceux : de Bazzania serrifolia (actif sur S. aureus avec une CI50 de 17,7±1,9 μg / ml), de Chiastocaulon caledonicum (actif sur S. aureus avec une CI50 de 6,7±1 μg/ml), de Bazzania sp. AD212 (actif sur S. epidermis avec une CI50 de 14,1±1 μg/ml) et de Bazzania francana (actif sur S. epidermis avec une CI50 de 17,0±1,6 μg/ml). / Phytochemical survey of 34 New-Caledonian liverwort species (including 14 endemic species) belonging to six families (Plagiochilaceae, Lophocoleaceae, Lepidoziaceae, Porellaceae, Lejeuneaceae, and Frullaniaceae) had been performed. Chemical composition of these species, mostly of volatile constituents, had been established for the first time for most of them and phytochemical study of species from Chiastocaulon of Acromastigum genus had been performed for the first time. Nearly 260 compounds were reported as identified constituents of these plants extracts, most of them being terpene. Four new natural products had been characterized.Antibacterial activity of liverworts extracts from three Hepaticeae families (Plagiochilaceae, Lepidoziaceae, and Lejeuneaceae) had been shown on two strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis). The most active ether extracts were found to be those from Bazzania parisii (active on S. epidermidis having an IC50 of 19.3±0.8 μg/ml) and from Bazzania subintegra (active on S. aureus having an IC50 of 16.3±1.1 μg/ml). The most active methanolic extracts were found to be respectively from : Bazzania serrifolia (active on S. aureus having an IC50 of 17.7±1.9 μg / ml), Chiastocaulon caledonicum (active on S. aureus having an IC50 of 6,7±1 μg/ml), Bazzania sp. AD212 (active on S. epidermis having an IC50 of 14.1±1 μg/ml) and Bazzania francana (active on S. epidermis having an IC50 of 17.0±1.6 μg/ml).

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / This present work reports the chemical and biological analysis of the stem and leaves from Bauhinia pulchella. In this study, the ethanol extract from stems was obtained by maceration, subjected to chromatographic fractionation, leading to isolation of three flavonoids: (+)-3â,4â-dihydroxyphenyl-chroman-7-ol (BP-2), (-)-fisetinidol (BP-3) and (+)-epicatechin (BP-4); a mixture of triterpenes taraxerone and β-amyrenone (BP-1); a mixture of steroids sitosterol and stigmasterol (BP-5); and a bibenzyl named 2-hydroxy-3â,5â-dimethoxybibenzyl (BP-6). It is notewhorthy to mention that BP-1 and BP-4 substances are unprecedented in the genus, while BP-2 is unpublished. Chemical structures of secondary metabolites obtained were elucidated by 1H and 13C NMR; IR and MS associated with comparison of data described in the literature. Chemical composition of the essential oil from leaves of B. pulchella, obtained by hydrodistillation, was determined and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC/FID), which identified 95,68% of all constituents. α-pinene (23.89%); caryophyllene oxide (22.43%) and β-pinene (12.19%) were the major components. The essential oil was tested against Aedes aegypti larvae and showed LC50 value of 105.93  1.48 μg/mL. The cytotoxic activity of essential oil was evaluated on human tumor cell lines (HL-60; MCF-7; NCI-H292 and HEP-2) was evaluated, showing IC50 values with confidence intervals of 9.941 (8.238 to 12.00), 53.05 (41.39 to 67.99), 48.98 (44.22 to 54.25) and 50.42 (42.47 to 59.87) μg/mL, respectively and the cell line HL-60 the most sensitive among the cells tested. This is the first report of the chemical study of Bauhinia pulchella, as well the investigation of larvicidal activity and cytotoxicity of the essential oil from its leaves. / O presente trabalho relata o estudo quÃmico e biolÃgico do caule e das folhas de Bauhinia pulchella. Nesse estudo, o extrato etanÃlico do caule, obtido por maceraÃÃo, foi submetido a fracionamento cromatogrÃfico levando ao isolamento de trÃs flavonoides (+)-3â-4âdiidroxifenil-cromano-7-ol (BP-2), (-)-fisetinidol (BP-3) e (+)-epicatequina (BP-4); da mistura de triterpenos taraxerona e β-amirenona (BP-1); da mistura de esteroides sitosterol e estigmasterol (BP-5) e de um bibenzil denominado 2-hidrÃxi-3â-5â-dimetoxibibenzila (BP-6). Cabe ressaltar que as substÃncias BP-1 e BP-4 sÃo inÃditas no gÃnero, enquanto BP-2 à inÃdita na literatura. As estruturas dos metabÃlitos secundÃrios isolados foram elucidadas por RMN 1H e 13C; IV e EM, juntamente com a comparaÃÃo com os dados descritos na literatura. A composiÃÃo quÃmica do Ãleo essencial das folhas de B. pulchella, obtido por hidrodestilaÃÃo, foi determinada e quantificada por cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CG-EM) e detector de ionizaÃÃo por chama (CG-DIC), sendo, portanto, identificados 95,68% dos seus constituintes: α-pineno (23,89%), Ãxido de cariofileno (22,43%) e β-pineno (12,19%) foram os constituintes majoritÃrios. O Ãleo essencial teve sua atividade larvicida sobre Aedes aegypti avaliada, sendo obtido um valor de CL50 igual a 105,93  1,48 μg/mL. O poder citotÃxico do Ãleo essencial foi avaliado sobre as linhagens tumorais humanas HL-60, MCF-7, NCI-H292 e HEP-2, sendo obtidos valores de CI50 e intervalos de confianÃa iguais a 9,941 (8,238 a 12,00); 53,05 (41,39 a 67,99); 48,98 (44,22 a 54,25) e 50,42 (42,47 a 59,87) μg/mL, respectivamente, sendo a linhagem celular HL-60 a mais sensÃvel dentre as cÃlulas testadas. Este à o primeiro relato do estudo quÃmico de Bauhinia pulchella, bem como da investigaÃÃo da atividade larvicida e citotÃxica do Ãleo essencial de suas folhas.
