No. of bitstreams: 1 Marcelo da Motta Silveira.pdf: 1565736 bytes, checksum: 64416f07c61ce6bf76f3b2fbcd70c077 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-03-28 / The Convolvulaceae family is considered endemic in Brazil and some species that belong to this family have toxic principles in their composition while others still present unknown active principles. Among the genera that make up the family, the genus Ipomoea contains important toxic plant species being epidemiologically important for the semiarid region of Pernambuco due to the variability of species and concentration of their active principles that may be related to cases of intoxication in production animals. These intoxications occur mainly due to the scarcity of pasture caused by the prolonged period of drought in the semi-arid region. Right after the first rains, these plants sprout; the animals ingest them and develop the clinical signs chronically. The establishment of poisoning is caused by the presence of swainsonine, a substance responsible for causing neurological changes associated with the storage of oligosaccharides, usually irreversible, and reproductive problems. Species can present only swainsonine or be associated with calystegines. However, studies still do not prove their real participation in the intoxication in ruminants. This dissertation consists of an article that deals with a study carried out during the rainy season in the Moxotó/Pernambuco Sertão micro region, which includes the municipalities of Arcoverde, Sertânia, Betânia, Ibimirim, Custódia, Inajá and Manari, to determine the occurrence of species of Convolvulaceae that contains toxic alkaloids in the region. In the study, the plants were georeferenced, photographed, collected for botanical identification and determination of the active principles. Samples containing 500g of the leaves of each species were collected, shade dried, crushed, mixed to constitute a pool of samples and analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and the presence of calystegines and swainsonine was verified through gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The study resulted in the discovery of new species of Convolvulaceae that present variable concentrations of swainsonine and calystegines in their composition that may be epidemiologically important for association with the occurrence of lysosomal storage disease in ruminants from the region studied. / A família Convolvulaceae é considerada endêmica no Brasil e algumas espécies pertencentes a esta família possuem princípios tóxicos em sua composição, enquanto outras ainda apresentam princípios ativos desconhecidos. Dentre os gêneros que compõem a família, o gênero Ipomoea reúne espécies de plantas tóxicas epidemiologicamente relevantes para a região semiárida de Pernambuco, devido à variabilidade de espécies e à concentração de seus princípios ativos que podem estar relacionados a casos de intoxicações em animais de produção. Essas intoxicações ocorrem principalmente pela escassez de pastagem provocada pelo período prolongado de seca na região do semiárido. Logo após as primeiras chuvas essas plantas rebrotam, os animais as ingerem e desenvolvem os sinais clínicos. O estabelecimento do quadro de intoxicação é provocado pela presença de swainsonina, substância responsável por provocar alterações neurológicas associadas ao armazenamento de oligossacarídeos, geralmente irreversíveis, e problemas reprodutivos. As espécies podem apresentar apenas swainsonina ou a associação desta com calisteginas. No entanto, estudos ainda não comprovaram a real participação desta nos quadros de intoxicação em ruminantes. Essa dissertação consiste de um artigo que aborda um estudo realizado durante o período chuvoso na microrregião do Sertão do Moxotó/Pernambuco, compreendendo os municípios de Arcoverde, Sertânia, Betânia, Ibimirim, Custódia, Inajá e Manari, para determinar a ocorrência de espécies de Convolvulaceae que contêm alcalóides tóxicos na região. No estudo, as plantas foram georreferenciadas, fotografadas, coletadas para identificação botânica e determinação dos princípios ativos. Amostras contendo 500g das folhas de cada espécie foram coletadas, secas à sombra, trituradas, misturadas para constituir um pool de amostras e analisadas por cromatografia líquida acoplada à espectrometria de massa e a presença de calisteginas e swainsonina foi verificada através de cromatografia gasosa - espectrometria de massa (GC/MS). O estudo resultou na descoberta de novas espécies de Convolvulaceae que apresentam concentrações variáveis de swainsonina e calisteginas em sua composição e poderão ser epidemiologicamente significativas para a ocorrência da doença de depósito lisossomal em ruminantes na região estudada.

But the active principle of toxic plants are little known and its knowledge its very important to develop preventive methods to poisoning which are responsible by countless cattle deaths. This work aimed the contribution to knowledge of active principle these plants, Crotalaria vitellina Ker Gawl (Fabaceae) e Ipomoea philomega (Vell.) House (Convolvulaceae). This work aimed the contribution to knowledge of active principle these plants, Crotalaria and Ipomoea were submitted to phytochemical study for the isolation of its chemical constituents by cromatographic methods followed by its identification through spectroscopic techniques such as Infrared (IR), one and two-dimentional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) of 1H and 13C, and Mass Spectrometry (MS) besides literature data. The phytochemical study of C. vitellina resulted on the isolation of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid (type otonecine) named crotavitelin (Cv-1), and were obtained from the crude extract of its fruits, described by first time in the literature. This substance was subjected to acute toxicological evaluation according to OECD Guide 423 (Guideline for Testing of Chemicals), in mice (males and females) orally exposed to 50 and 300 mg/Kg doses and showed a low toxicity on the parameters evaluated. However, histopatologic studies should be performed to investigate the possible toxic effects in celular and tissue levels. Ipomoea philomega was submitted also to phytochemical studies and were isolated eight compounds from the dicloromethane phase of the ethanolic crude extract of the leaves: lanosterol (Ip-1), caffeic acid (Ip-2), ethyl p-coumarate (Ip-3), lupeol (Ip-4), ethyl caffeate (Ip-5), umbelliferone (Ip-6), scopoletin (Ip-7), and the 1,2-benzopirone (Ip-8), has been described for first time in I. philomega. / A pesquisa sobre plantas tóxicas para animais têm-se limitado principalmente à identificação das espécies, bem como à sua epidemiologia, patologia e sinais clínicos. Sendo, no entanto, pouco conhecidos os seus princípios ativos, cujo conhecimento é de grande importância no desenvolvimento de métodos preventivos da intoxicação, responsáveis por inúmeras mortes de animais e, consequentemente, perdas econômicas. Visando contribuir para o conhecimento dos princípios ativos dessas plantas, as espécies Crotalaria vitellina Ker Gawl (Fabaceae) e Ipomoea philomega (Vell.) House (Convolvulaceae) foram submetidas a um estudo fitoquímico para isolamento de seus constituintes químicos por métodos cromatográficos, seguidos de identificação através de métodos espectroscópicos tais como Infravermelho (IV), Ressonância Magnética Nuclear (RMN) de 1H e 13C uni e bi-dimensionais e Espectroscopia de Massas (EM) juntamente com a comparação com dados da literatura. O estudo fitoquimico do extrato etanólico bruto dos frutos e folhas de C. vitellina resultou no isolamento de um alcalóide pirrolizidínico do tipo otonecina, descrito pela primeira vez na literatura, nomeado crotavitelina (Cv-1). Essa substância foi submetida avaliação da toxicidade pré-clínica aguda, de acordo com o Guia da OECD-423 (Guideline for Testing of Chemicals), em camundongos (machos e fêmeas) nas doses de 50 e 300 mg/Kg e apresentou baixa toxicidade nos parâmetros avaliados. Entretanto, estudos histopatológicos, especialmente em nível de tecido hepático, devem ser realizados para a investigação de possíveis efeitos tóxicos em nível celular e tecidual. Ipomoea philomega, Convolvulaceae, igualmente submetida a estudo fitoquímico do extrato etanólico bruto das suas folhas possibilitou o isolamento de oito substâncias da fase diclorometano: lanosterol (Ip-1), ácido cafeico (Ip-2), p-cumarato de etila (Ip-3), lupeol (Ip-4), cafeato de etila (Ip-5), umbeliferona (Ip-6), escopoletina (Ip-7) e a 1,2- benzopirona (Ip-8), descritas pela primeira vez para I. philomega.

Alguns aspectos de germinação e emergência de cinco espécies de plantas daninhas convolvuláceas e suas suscetibilidades a herbicidas quando aplicados sobre palha de cana-de-açúcar / Some aspects of germination and emergence of five weed species of the Convolvulaceae family and its susceptibility to herbicides when applied over sugarcane straw

Labonia, Victor Domiciano de Silos 16 January 2009 (has links)
A área de produção da cana-de-açúcar destinada à colheita mecanizada da cana-crua tem crescido bastante nas últimas décadas. Tal processo deixa sobre o solo uma quantidade significativa de palha, alterando fatores como temperatura, menores oscilações térmicas e incidência de luz sob essa cobertura vegetal. Algumas espécies vêm se destacando no sistema de cultivo de cana-crua por conseguirem emergir com facilidade sob a palha. Assim sendo, este trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de analisar o efeito da luz e da temperatura sobre a germinação, estudar o efeito da profundidade da semente no solo sob palha de cana-de-açúcar e avaliar a susceptibilidade a herbicidas aplicados sobre a palha de cana-de-açúcar em época seca de cinco espécies de plantas daninhas da família Convolvulaceae: Ipomoea grandifolia, Ipomoea hederifolia, Ipomoea quamoclit, Ipomoea nil e Merremia cissoides. Os experimentos foram conduzidos no Laboratório de Análise de Sementes e em casade- vegetação do Departamento de Produção Vegetal da ESALQ/USP, Piracicaba SP, nos anos de 2007 e 2008. Com relação ao efeito da temperatura sobre germinação, os resultados obtidos demonstraram que essas espécies respondem diferentemente aos efeitos da temperatura e apresentam capacidade de germinação em um amplo espectro de temperaturas. Ficou evidente que temperaturas abaixo de 17,20C reduzem significativamente a germinação das sementes de todas as espécies chegando até a inibir por completo o processo germinativo de I. quamoclit. As espécies apresentaram boa capacidade de germinação a partir de temperaturas em torno de 20oC até os 35oC. A escarificação química com ácido sulfúrico foi capaz de aumentar significativamente a porcentagem de sementes germinadas. Todas as espécies germinaram mais rapidamente (IVG) à temperaturas entre 25,9 e 30,2oC. Para a influência da luz e temperatura, todas as espécies germinaram tanto na presença quanto na ausência de luz, porém, mostraram respostas diferenciadas à presença de luz e às condições de temperatura. Todas as espécies tiveram os piores resultados de germinação e IVG no escuro sob temperatura constante de 25oC. Já para a influência da profundidade sobre emergência de plântulas, constatou-se significância do fator cobertura do solo apenas para algumas espécies de plantas daninhas. Resultado semelhante foi observado para a significância da interação de profundidade da semente e cobertura do solo. Todas as espécies mostraram maiores emergências quando dispostas em superfície do que em relação àquelas enterradas, tanto na presença quanto na ausência de palha. Notou-se que os herbicidas amicarbazone e hexazinone+diuron podem ser recomendados para controle em pré-emergência das espécies estudadas em condição de seca, tanto sobre palha de cana-de-açúcar quanto diretamente ao solo. Já o herbicida imazapic não foi eficiente para o controle de M. cissoides (com ou sem palha sobre o solo), e I. nil (com ou sem palha), controlando bem as demais espécies. Tebuthiuron (com ou sem palha sobre o solo) e sulfentrazone (com palha) não foram eficazes apenas para M. cissoides, que se mostrou a espécie de maior dificuldade de controle. O herbicida metribuzim se mostrou a pior opção para o manejo químico das espécies estudadas. / The growth of sugarcane area designated to mechanized yield has been significant along decades. This process leaves over the soil an significant amount of straw, changing conditions as temperature, lower thermal oscillations and the incision of light under this vegetal cover. Some weed species have been selected by this system because they have the capacity of germinating and emerge normally from under crop residues. Therefore, this work was conducted with the objective of analyzing the influence of light and temperature over germination, the influence of seeding depth and soil covering condition on seedling emergence and the susceptibility to herbicides applied over sugarcane straw in dry condition of five weed species of the Convolvulaceae family: Ipomoea grandifolia, Ipomoea hederifolia, Ipomoea quamoclit, Ipomoea nil e Merremia cissoides. The experiments were conducted in 2007 and 2008 at the Laboratory of Seed Analyses and at the greenhouse of the Department of Vegetal Production of ESALQ/USP, in Piracicaba-SP. For the experiment that evaluated the influence of temperature over seed germination, results showed that morningglory species have different reactions to different temperatures and also have the capacity of germinate on a wide range of temperatures. Temperatures less than 17,20C can reduce significantly germination of all species, even inhibiting germination at all for I. quamoclit. Species showed good capacity of germinating on temperatures from 20oC to 35oC. Acid scarification of seeds was capable of elevate significantly the percentage of seed germinated. All species germinated faster (IVG) on temperatures between 25,9 and 30,2oC. On the experiment of light and temperature influence over germination, results showed that all species germinated as well on presence or absence of light. All species had their worst performance of germination and IVG on darkness and constant temperature conditions. Regarding to soil-seeding depth, for all the species, higher emergence was observed when seeds were distributed on soil surface, either in the presence or in the absence of straw. Considering the emergence of I. hederifolia and I. nil neither soil covering nor interaction (depth x covering) effect was observed. For I. quamoclit, there were observed isolated effects of soil covering and seeding depth, which indicated better species adaptability to emerge in soil without the presence of straw on surface. Also for the species I.triloba and M. cissoides, the emergence was lower in the plots with straw on soil surface when compared with those without straw and, still, straw distributed on soil surface reduced significantly the speed of emergence and seedling establishment. Amicarbazone and hexazinone+diuron can be recommended for pre-emergence control all species on dry conditions, even when applied over sugarcane straw. Imazapic had no efficient control for M. cissoids and I. nil, both, even when apllied over the straw or directly on soil surface, but showed good efficacy for the other species. Tebuthiuron (apllied over the straw or directly on soil surface) and sulfentrazone (when apllied over the straw) were not efficient only for M. cissoides, which was the most difficult specie to control. Metribuzim was the worst option for control of all species.

For morphological characterization, the experiment was conducted in the Horticulture Sector of UFVJM being evaluated 60 sweet potato genotypes, using 24 morphological descriptors of both the shoots as the root part. The shoot evaluations were performed 60 and 90 days after planting, and ratings of roots were done after harvest at 150 days after planting. The molecular characterization leaf samples from 60 hits coming from the germplasm bank-UFVJM were used. DNA extraction was performed in Forest Genetics and Biotechnology Laboratory (UFVJM) using the phenol-chloroform method. For amplification of DNA eleven microsatellite primers specific for the sweet potato were used. The morphological diversity and Molecular was obtained by generating dissimilarity matrices based on the simple matching coefficient of Jaccard indices, respectively. To study the divergence appealed to the illustrative dendrogram by UPGMA and Tocher grouping. For dissimilarity matrices obtained with morphological and molecular data were estimated genetic distances ranging from 0,08 to 0,92 with a mean 0,52 and 0,14 to 1, with mean 0,76, respectively. It was observed by dendrograms of dissimilarity and the Tocher group, the sweet potato accessions of germplasm bank of UFVJM showed genetic and phenotypic diversity, and promising in breeding programs of this culture.

Estudo químico-farmacológico de Operculina macrocarpa (L.) urb. (Convolvulaceae) /

Michelin, Daniele Carvalho. January 2008 (has links)
Resumo: Operculina macrocarpa (L.) Urb., Convolvulaceae, popularmente conhecida como batata-de-purga ou jalapa, é utilizada pela população como laxante e no tratamento da leucorréia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar o controle de qualidade da droga vegetal, otimizar o processo extrativo desta espécie, avaliar a atividade laxante e antioxidante da raiz desta planta, realizar ensaios toxicológicos e ainda caracterizar fitoquimicamente a espécie por CLAE (Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência) e EM (Espectrometria de Massas). Foram realizados testes farmacopéicos de controle de qualidade, que comprovaram a autenticidade e a qualidade da droga vegetal. Avaliou-se a atividade laxante de O. macrocarpa através de diferentes modelos experimentais de trânsito intestinal utilizando o extrato hidroetanólico, o chá, a resina e os ácidos caféico, clorogênico e ferúlico. Verificou-se que o extrato hidroetanólico, o chá e os ácidos fenólicos apresentaram atividade laxante no modelo experimental avaliado e para atividade antioxidante foi observada uma discreta atividade para o extrato, o chá e a resina comparados com o padrão de ácido caféico. Na avaliação toxicológica o extrato hidroetanólico e o chá apresentaram uma diminuição nos valores das transaminases séricas AST (Aspartato aminotransferase) e ALT (Alanina aminotransferase), sugerindo hepatotoxicidade. Foi traçado o perfil químico do extrato hidroetanólico, do chá e da resina onde foram identificados os ácidos caféico, ferúlico, clorogênico, metil-ferúlico, quínico, dicafeoil-quinico e dímero do ácido caféico por CLAE e EM. Os ácidos fenólicos identificados foram quantificados por CLAE. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo químico-farmacológico de Operculina macrocarpa são fundamentais para o futuro desenvolvimento de um produto farmacêutico...

(Urb.), Convolvulaceae, popularly known as 'batata-depurga', is used by the population as a laxative and for the treatment of leucorrhea. The aim of this work was to carry out the quality control of vegetal drug, evaluate the antioxidant and laxative activity of the root of this plant, to carry out toxicology assays and phytochemical characterization by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and MS (Mass Spectrommetry) of this specie. Pharmacopeial tests of quality control had confirmed the authenticity and quality of sample. The laxative activity was evaluated by different experimental models for the hydromethanolic extract, tea, resin, and caffeic, chlorogenic and ferulic acid. The results showed that hydroethanolic extract, tea and phenolic acids had significant activity in experimental model tested. The results showed a little antioxidant activity for the extract, resin and tea when compared with standart caffeic acid. In the toxicological evaluation hydroethanolic extract and tea had presented alterations in the seric levels of transaminases ALT (Alanine aminotransferase) and AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) suggesting hepatotoxicity. Chemical profile of ethanolic extract, tea and resin was carried out by HPLC and MS and these techniques could identify caffeic, ferulic, chlorogenic, methylferulic, quinic, dicaffeoylquinic acids and a caffeic acid dimer. The phenolic acids were quantificated by HPLC. The results obtained in the chemical-pharmacological study of Operculina macrocarpa are fundamental for the future development of a pharmaceutical product with standarts of safety and efficacy...

COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY OF SEED DORMANCY-BREAK AND GERMINATION IN CONVOLVULACEAE (ASTERIDS, SOLANALES)

Jayasuriya, Kariyawasam Marthinna Gamage Gehan 01 January 2008 (has links)
The biology of seed dormancy and germination of 46 species representing 11 of the 12 tribes in Convolvulaceae were compared in laboratory (mostly), field and greenhouse experiments. Seeds were tested for kind of dormancy and storage behavior; artificial or simulated natural treatments were applied to break physical dormancy (PY); the initial route of water entry (“water gap”) into seeds was identified; the morphoanatomy of the water gap was compared in seeds of 17 species; ontogenetical differences between water gap and seed coat away from the hilum were described in Ipomoea lacunosa seeds; cycling of sensitivity to dormancy break was elucidated in seeds of I. lacunosa, I. hederacea, Cuscuta australis and Jaquemontia ovalifolia; and mechanism of opening of the water gap was determined for seeds of I. lacunosa and of I hederacea. Seeds of only three of the 46 species were nondormant. Two of these were recalcitrant (Maripa panamensis and Erycibe henryi), and the other one was orthodox (Bonamia menziesii). Seeds of the other 43 species were orthodox and had PY except those of Cuscuta europea, which also had physiological dormancy (PD) i.e. combinational dormancy (PY + PD). Two bulges adjacent to the micropyle were identified as the water gap in all seeds with PY except those of Cuscuta, in which the hilar fissure is the water gap. Anatomy of the bulges (water gap) adjacent to the micropyle differs from that of seed coat away from the bulges. A different sequence and phase of anticlinal and periclinal cell divisions during development created weak transitional zones between bulge - hilum and bulge - seed coat away from hilum. Water vapor pressure changes below the bulges caused formation of the opening(s) in water gap. Seeds of I. lacunosa I. hederacea, C. australis and J. ovalifolia cycle between sensitive and insensitive states to dormancy break, but not between PY and nondormancy. Seed dormancy and storage characteristics and anatomy and morphology of dormancy of seeds of Convolvulaceae closely follow the molecular phylogeny of the family. I suggest that PY in seeds of subfamily Convolvuloideae evolved from nondormant recalcitrant seeds of an ancestor closely related to Erycibeae.
