These cells tend to be very aggressive, uncontrolled, dividing rapidly and determining the tumors formation. Since cancer is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, it is necessary to discover new ways of treatment and new molecules that are less harmful than conventional therapies. Many alternatives aimed for screening anticancer peptides, seeking molecules in nature that can serve as new medicine. Among them are cyclotides, a multifunctional family of peptides characterized by C- to N-termini connection and for presenting a characteristic arrangement named cyclic cystein knot (CCK) stabilized by three bridges sulfide. In this work, we extracted and characterized the parigidinbr2 cyclotide, belonging to the family of the bracelets isolated from Palicourea rigida leaves, which unlike other cyclotides present its C- and N-termini free. The parigidin-br2 showed anticancer activity against both cell lines, MCF-7 (breast cancer) and CACO2 (colorectal adenocarcinoma) at concentrations of 10.5 ??M and 5.25 ??M, with no hemolytic activity at these concentrations. Additionally, the kalata B2 and parigidin-br1 cyclotides were nanostructured using polymers Eudragit?? L 100-55 and RS 30 D (3: 1 w: w). Dynamic light scattering analysis show nanoparticles of 91 nm in diameter kalata B2 and 188 nm in diameter parigidin-br1. Furthermore, the encapsulation rate was 95% for both cyclotides. In vitro assays showed that the nanostructured cyclotides were capable of control the MCF-7 and CACO2 growth. Data here reported indicated that nanoformulated cyclotides showed anticancer activity, exhibiting sustained drug release, indicate that Eudragits?? nanocapsules can be successfully utilized cyclotides delivery, generating delivery systems for cancer control. / C??ncer consiste em um termo gen??rico aplicado a v??rias doen??as, apresentando um crescimento desordenado de c??lulas capazes de invadir tecidos e ??rg??os e espalhar-se para outras regi??es do corpo. Estas c??lulas tendem a ser muito agressivas e incontrol??veis, dividindo-se rapidamente e determinando a forma????o de tumores. Uma vez que o c??ncer consiste em uma das grandes causas de mortalidade e morbidade em todo mundo, faz-se necess??ria a descoberta de novas formas de tratamento e novas mol??culas que sejam menos danosas que as terapias convencionais. Muitas alternativas visam ?? prospec????o de pept??deos antic??ncer, buscando mol??culas na natureza que possam servir como novos medicamentos. Dentre estes, podem ser observados os ciclot??deos, uma fam??lia multifuncional de pept??deos caracterizada pela uni??o do C- com o N-terminal e por apresentarem um arranjo caracter??stico, o cyclic cystein knot (CCK), estabilizado por tr??s pontes dissulfeto. Neste trabalho foi extra??do e caracterizado de folhas de Palicourea rigida o ciclot??deo parigidinabr2, pertencente a fam??lia dos braceletes, que diferente dos outros ciclot??deos, apresenta seu C- e N-terminal livres. A parigidina-br2 apresentou atividade antic??ncer contra duas linhagens de c??lulas, a MCF-7 (c??ncer de mama) e CACO2 (adenocarcinoma do colorretal) nas concentra????es de 10.5 ??M e 5.25 ??M, com aus??ncia de atividade hemol??tica nestas concentra????es. Adicionalmente os ciclot??deos kalata B2 e parigidina-br1 foram nanoc??psulados usando pol??meros Eudragit?? L 100-55 e RS 30 D (3: 1 w: w). An??lise de espalhamento de luz din??mico mostraram nanopart??culas com 91 nm de di??metro para kalata B2 e 188 nm de di??metro para parigidin-br1. Al??m disso, a taxa de encapsula????o foi de 95% para ambos os ciclot??deos. Os ensaios in vitro mostraram que os ciclot??deos nanoestruturados foram capazes de controlar o desenvolvimento de c??lulas de MCF-7 e CACO2. Os dados aqui relatados indicam que ciclot??deos nanoformulados apresentaram atividade antic??ncer, exibindo libera????o sustentada, indicando que nanoc??psulas empregando os Eudragits?? podem ser utilizados com sucesso na entrega de ciclot??deos, gerando um sistema de entrega para o controle do c??ncer.
