The ecology of terricolous lichens of the northern conifer-hardwood forests of central Canada.

Lambert, John D. H. January 1964 (has links)
Missing pg.75 / The Northern Conifer-Hardwood Forests of Central Canada occupy a small but important portion of Canada's surface area. The relatively little quantitative information available concerning this forest community is surprising in view of its interesting vegetational characteristics. In addition the greater part of the Canadian population has been concentrated in the area for two centuries. Settlement of the eastern areas began in the 1600's and in the western parts of the study region in the late 1700's. The land and climate in the extreme southern region of Ontario favoured agricultural settlements at the expense of the original forest. Logging has also taken its toll of a large proportion of forest in central and northern parts of the region. Today with the continued push northward of the populated areas in the St. Lawrence and Ottawa River valleys, new areas are being developed and the forest communities are being heavily utilized. It is essential that an understanding of the ecological processes of this mixed conifer-hardwood community and its successional stages be gained before it becomes too decimated and modified. [...]

Crescem lentamente e seus metabólitos secundários são principalmente depsídeos, depsidonas, dibenzofuranos, xantonas, antraquinonas e terpenos. Diversos metabólitos de liquens possuem atividade biológica, como por exemplo antibiótica, antitumoral, analgésica, entre outras. Neste trabalho, investigamos 10 espécies coletadas no Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil, Parmotrema tinctorum, P. dilatatum, P. cf. delicatulum, P. cf. miranda, P. cf. flavescens, Pseudoparmelia hypomiltha, P. sphaerospora, Usnea meridionalis, Usnea sp. e Heterodermia microphylla. As espécies foram extraídas com solventes orgânicos, fracionadas por métodos cromatográficos e identificadas por métodos químicos e espectrométricos. Desses liquens, isolamos e identificamos atranorina, 5-cloroatranorina, orselinato de etila, zeorina, ácidos lecanórico, protocetrárico, salazínico, estítico, constítico, hipostítico, úsnico, difractáico e secalônico. Esses compostos foram testados quanto à atividade fungitóxica contra Cladosporium sphaerospermum e quanto à atividade citotóxica frente à Artemia salina. Atranorina, orselinato de etila, ácidos úsnico e difractáico inibiram o crescimento do fungo. Ácido único foi o composto mais ativo frente à Artemia salina. Os compostos isolados foram também testados quanto à atividade antitumor in vitro e in vivo. Ácido secalônico foi ativo em relação às células KB e o ácido salazínico inibiu os tumores sarcoma 180 e carcinoma de Erlich. / Lichens are organisms composed by a fungi and one or more algae. They are slow-growing organisms and their secondary metabolites are mainly depsides, depsidones, dibenzofurans, xantones, antraquinones and terpene derivatives. Several metabolites have biological activities as antibiotic, antitumor, analgesic among others. In this work, we have investigated ten species collected in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, Parmotrema tinctorum, P. dilatatum, P. cf. delicatulum, P. cf. miranda, P. cf. flavescens, Pseudoparmelia hypomiltha, P. sphaerospora, Usnea meridionalis, Usnea sp. and Heterodermia microphylla. The species were extracted with organic solvents, fractionated by chromatographic methods and identified by chemical and spectrometric methods. From these lichens we have isolated and identified atranorine, 5- chloroatranorine, zeorine, ethyl orselinate and lecanoric, protocetraric, salazinic, stictic, constictic, hipostictic, usnic, diffractaic and secalonic acids. These compounds were tested for fungitoxic activity against Cladosporium sphaerospermum and for citotoxic activity against Artemia salina. Atranorin, ethyl orselinate, usnic and diffractaic acids inhibited the growth of the fungus. Usnic acid was the most active against Artemia salina. The compounds isolated were tested in vitro and in vivo also for antitumor activity. Secalonic acid was active for KB cells and salazinic acid inhibited the sarcoma-180 and Erlich carcinoma tumors.

Possuem como hospedeiros intermediários planorbídeos do gênero Biomphalaria, que liberam cercárias que podem infectar os mamíferos, causando a esquistossomose. A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) estima que 261 milhões de pessoas estejam infectadas. Um dos métodos para o combate desta patologia é o controle populacional de caramujos utilizando moluscicidas. A niclosamida, moluscicida sintético, é recomendada pela OMS, porém sua utilização tem originado problemas devido à baixa seletividade, elevada toxicidade, alto custo e resistência dos caramujos. Por esta razão, estudos que visam o estabelecimento de moluscicidas de origem natural tem sido incentivada. Líquens, organismos simbióticos, produzem diversos metabólitos secundários fenólicos, dentre estes está o ácido divaricático (DIV), para-depsídeo com potencial biológico ainda pouco estudado. No presente estudo, o DIV, isolado de Ramalina aspera, foi testado sobre Biomphalaria glabrata, vetor da esquistossomose, em sua fase embrionária e adulta, assim como sobre cercárias de S. mansoni. Concomitantemente, foi avaliada sua toxicidade ambiental, utilizando o microcrustáceo Artemia salina. Para a obtenção do DIV, foi realizada a extração etérea de líquens da espécie R. aspera. Do extrato etéreo obtido, foi feita a purificação do DIV, sendo a pureza deste confirmada através de cromatografia de camada delgada, cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência, infravermelho e ressonância magnética nuclear de prótons. Para a verificação da atividade moluscicida do DIV foram utilizados caramujos adultos pigmentados da espécie B. glabrata e embriões em fase de blástula. Os animais adultos foram expostos às concentrações de 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 e 5.5 μg/mL por 24 horas e os embriões às concentrações de 7,5; 8; 8,5; 9,5; 10; 10,5; 11; 11,5; 12; 15 e 20 μg/mL nos tempos de 6, 12, 18 e 24 horas. A análise da atividade cercaricida foi realizada por meio da exposição de cercárias (cepa Belo Horizonte) ao DIV nas concentrações de 0.5, 1, 5, 10 e 100 μg/mL, sendo estas avaliadas nos tempos de 15, 30, 60 e 120 minutos. A toxicidade ambiental sobre A. salina foi verificada por exposição dos náuplios às concentrações de 25, 50, 100, 200 e 400 μg/mL por 24 horas. Ao final das análises, pôde-se observar que o DIV purificado mostrou-se eficiente na eliminação dos caramujos adultos e embriões de B. glabrata, apresentando 100% de letalidade em 5.5 μg/mL e 15 μg/mL em 24 horas, respectivamente. Já para a atividade cercaricida, a concentração necessária para 100% de eficácia foi 10 μg/mL. De acordo com os resultados de toxicidade ambiental, a utilização do DIV é segura até a concentração de 200 μg/mL, não mostrando valores de mortalidade significativos estatisticamente. Os resultados deste estudo se mostraram eficientes para o controle da esquistossomose, já que o DIV apresentou-se como uma ferramenta de elevado potencial biológico no combate ao vetor da parasitose, dentro das faixas preconizadas pela OMS, tanto em sua fase embrionária quanto em fase adulta. Também mostrando eficácia sobre a forma cercariana do parasito, sendo atóxica ambientalmente. / Schistosomiasis, parasitic infectious disease, is caused by worms of the genus Schistosoma, and the S. mansoni species is commonly found in Africa, Caribbean and South America. They have as intermediate host snails of the genus Biomphalaria, which release cercariae that can infect mammals causing schistosomiasis. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 261 million people are infected. One method for combating this disease is the control of snails population using molluscicides. Niclosamide, synthetic molluscicide, is recommended by the WHO, but its use has caused problems because of the low selectivity, high toxicity, high cost and resistance of snails. For this reason, studies regarding the establishment of natural molluscicides has been encouraged. Lichens, symbiotic organisms produce various phenolic secondary metabolites, among them is the divaricatic acid (DIV), para-depside with biological potential yet little studied. In this study, the DIV, isolated from Ramalina aspera, has been tested on Biomphalaria glabrata, schistosomiasis vector in its embryonic and adult stage and on cercariae of S. mansoni. Concomitantly, its environmental toxicity was evaluated using the microcrustacean Artemia salina. From the ether extract of R. aspera performed, the DIV purification was done, and its purity confirmed by thin layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance of protons. The molluscicidal activity of DIV was verified throught of pigmented adult snails of the species B. glabrata and embryos in the blastula stage. Adult snails were exposed to concentrations of 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 μg/mL for 24 hours and the embryos at concentrations of 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 15 and 20 μg/mL at times of 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours. The analysis of cercaricide activity was performed by exposing the cercariae (Belo Horizonte strain) to the DIV at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 100 μg/mL, which are evaluated at times of 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes . The environmental toxicity in A. salina was verified by exposing the nauplii at concentrations of 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 μg/mL for 24 hours. At the end of the analyzes, it was observed that the DIV purified was efficient in the elimination of adult snails and embryos of B. glabrata, with 100% mortality at 5.5 μg/mL and 15 μg/mL in 24 hours, respectively. As for the cercaricide activity, the concentration required for 100% efficacy was 10 μg/mL. According to the results of environmental toxicity, the use of the DIV is safe even the concentration of 200 μg/mL, showing no statistically significant mortality values. The results of this study proved effective in the control of schistosomiasis as the DIV proved to be a high potential biological tool in combating vector parasitosis, within the ranges recommended by the WHO, both in its embryonic stage and in adulthood. Also showing effectiveness on cercariae form of the parasite, non-toxic environmentally.
