No entanto, apenas uma apresentou signicante atividade analgésica que analisada por Cromatografia Gasosa de Alta Resolução Computadorizada acoplada à Espectometria de Massa (CGAR-C-MS) revelou a presença de três fitoesteróis identificados como: estigmasterol, -sitosterol e campesterol. Como o estigmasterol apresentou atividade significante, foram realizadas algumas modificações estruturais e correlacionada sua estrutura com atividade farmacológica. Foi verificado nestas modificações que quando se introduziu o grupamento benzoíla a atividade aumentou consideravelmente. Além disso, ensaios farmacológicos indicam que o estigmasterol apresenta um mecanismo de ação analgésica semelhante ao mostrado anteriormente para o extrato bruto do Phyllanthus corcovadensis sendo diferente aos observados em analgésicos conhecidos como aspirina e morfina.

Phytochemical and biological studies of phyllanthus species: effects on hepatitis B virus. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection

January 2005 (has links)
A number of recent research studies have been done on different species of the plants of the genus Phyllanthus. The plants are widely distributed in most tropical and subtropical countries and have long been used for the treatment of liver diseases in China and India. / Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major pathogen of human viral hepatitis. It has been estimated that 350 million people are chronic carriers of HBV throughout the world. Increasing evidence indicates that persistent viral infection of the liver is associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatitis B virus belongs to a family of DNA viruses called hepadnaviruses. The current treatments of HBV infection with interferon or lamivudine have several disadvantages, and there appears to be much room for improvement in terms of medical treatment. / My project research focuses on two poorly characterized Indian Phyllanthus species called Phyllanthus nanus ("PN") and Phyllanthus niruri ("PI"). In my studies, random amplified polymorphic DNA ("RAPD") technique and high performance liquid chromatography ("HPLC") fingerprinting were used to authenticate different species of Phyllanthus. Both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of PN and PI were prepared to study their cytotoxicity in hepatoma cell lines. The effect of these extracts on hepatitis B virus was also examined in the HBV-genome integrated cell lines - PLC/PRF/5 (Alexander) and HepG2 2.2.15. Microparticle enzyme immunoassay ("MEIA") and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to measure the amount of hepatitis B surface antigen ("HBsAg") and hepatitis B e antigen ("HBeAg") secretion from the cell lines. RT-PCR was used to detect the change in HBsAg mRNA's expression level in the drug-treated cell lines. Real-time PCR was also employed to examine the effect of drug treatment on the level of HBV DNA replication and the amount of virions secreted into the medium. The experimental results showed that both the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of PN and PI exerted suppressive effect on HBsAg secretion and HBsAg mRNA level. The PN and PI ethanolic extracts also showed mild suppression of viral replication in vitro. The ethanolic extract of PN seemed to be more potent in suppressing HBV than the other extracts tested.

Phyllanthus urinaria treatment in experimental model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection

January 2009 (has links)
Immortalized normal hepatocytes AML-12 or primary hepatocytes were cultured in control, and the methionine and choline deficient (MCD) culture medium in the presence or absence of Phyllanthus urinaria for 24 hours. Hepatocyte triglyceride contents, release of alanine aminotransferase, lipoperoxides and reactive oxygen species production were determined in the cell culture study. Age-matched wild-type C57BL/6 and diabetes db/db mice were fed control or MCD diet for 10 days with or without Phyllanthus urinaria. The levels of Hepatic steatosis, necroinflammation, triglycerides and oxidative stress were investigated. Hepatic expression of inflammatory factors and lipid regulatory mediators were assayed. The results demonstrated that Phyllanthus urinaria reduced steatosis and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in culture of hepatocytes in a dose-dependent manner. Phyllanthus urinaria protected the livers against MCD-induced hepatic fat accumulation and steatohepatitis in mice. This effect was associated with repressed levels of hepatic lipid peroxides, reduced expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2e1, pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), dampened activation of inflammatory C-jun N-teuninal kinase (JNK) and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), increased expression of lipolytic Cyp4a10 and suppressed transcriptional activity of lipogenic CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta). Hepatic acyl co-enzyme A oxidase (ACO) that regulated hepatic beta-oxidation of fatty acid and other lipid regulators were not affected by Phyllanthus urinaria. / Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) results from excessive accumulation of hepatic fat (steatosis) and oxidative stress. Therefore, inhibition of fatty acid cytotoxicity and liver inflammtary change is an important goal in the treatment of NASH. Phyllanthus urinaria, a herbal medicine, has been reported to have potential anti-oxidant property. We tested the effects of Phyllanthus urinaria on nutritional steatohepatitis both in vitro and in vivo, and determined the mechanism of its action. / Our study indicated that Phyllanthus urinaria effectively prevented MCD-induced steatohepatitis. This effect were probably mediated through dampening oxidative stress, ameliorating inflammation and decreasing lipid accumulation. Phyllanthus urinaria deserves further evaluation for its potential therapeutic effect on NASH in humans. / Shen, Bo. / Adviser: Henry Ly Chan. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-09, Section: B, page: . / Thesis submitted in: November 2008. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 128-142). / Electronic reproduction.

The larvae of these mosquitoes demonstrates high resistance to chemical larvicides commonly used in vector control activities and therefore some plants ictiot?xicas studies are targets for discovery of promising substances present in plant extracts that can be leveraged or even transformed into natural insecticides. This work began with an ethnobiological study conducted in the municipality of Maragogipe by using open and semi-structured interviews with local residents in order to collect information in different sociocultural levels, focusing on which plant is commonly used as ichthyotoxic, and then with possible larvicidal effect. Outo of the ichthyotoxic plants recorded, the species most cited was Phyllanthus acuminatus Vahl. The crude extract of the leaf and stem of this plant, as well as their different concentrations were tested in larvae of the mosquito A. aegypti checking the mortality rate at 24 and 48 hours at laboratory conditions to 25?C in a growth chamber to assess its action as biopesticide agent. Although not standardized a suitable dosage of a larvicide from natural plant extracts tested, it was found that in higher concentrations it is possible to achieve the desired effect contributing to breaking the cycle of development of dengue vector and contributing to the reduction the indiscriminate use of synthetic larvicides that have high power toxicity. / A dengue ? uma endemia disseminada pelo Aedes aegypti Linnaeus que al?m de ter provocado grandes epidemias nos ?ltimos anos no Brasil, ainda n?o possui uma vacina efetiva. A larva deste mosquito demonstra grande resist?ncia aos larvicidas qu?micos comumente usados nas a??es de controle do vetor e, portanto, algumas plantas ictiot?xicas s?o alvos de estudos para descoberta de subst?ncias promissoras presentes em extratos vegetais que possam ser aproveitados ou at? transformados em inseticidas naturais. Este trabalho iniciou-se com o estudo etnobiol?gico conduzido no munic?pio de Maragogipe, utilizando entrevistas abertas e semi-estruturadas com os moradores locais com o objetivo de coletar informa??es em n?veis socioculturais distintos, enfocando qual planta ? comumente utilizada como ictiot?xica e com poss?vel efeito larvicida. Das plantas identificadas como ictiot?xicas, a mais citada pela comunidade visitada foi a esp?cie Phyllanthus acuminatus Vahl. O extrato bruto do caule e da folha desta planta, assim como suas diferentes concentra??es, foram testados em larvas do mosquito A. aegypti verificando a taxa de mortalidade em 24 e 48 horas em condi??es de laborat?rio com temperatura de 25?C em c?mara B.O.D. a fim de avaliar a sua a??o como agente bioinseticida. Embora n?o tenha sido padronizada uma dosagem adequada de um larvicida natural a partir de extratos da planta testada, verificou-se que em maiores concentra??es ? poss?vel obter o efeito desejado contribuindo para o rompimento no ciclo de desenvolvimento do vetor da dengue e colaborando para a diminui??o no uso indiscriminado de larvicidas sint?ticos que apresentam alto poder de toxidade.

Este estudo demonstrou que o EH, a fração rica em lignanas, e as lignanas filtetralina, nirtetralina ou nirantina foram efetivos em inibir o edema, a migração celular e/ou a produção de IL-1 . O mecanismo de ação da nirantina parece envolver o receptor para fator de ativação plaquetário, enquanto que para a nirtetralina o perfil farmacológico parece envolver a interação com receptor para endotelina-1. Apesar deste trabalho ainda não ter caracterizado o princípio ativo responsável pelas ações anti-nociceptivas, a filtetralina, a nirtetralina e a nirantina parecem ser as responsáveis pelas ações antiinflamatórias do P. amarus.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / A dor cronica esta entre os principais sintomas da esclerose multipla. Sao escassas as pesquisas com compostos naturais na busca de tratamentos para os sintomas dessa doenca. As plantas pertencentes ao genero Phyllanthus e os agentes canabinoides tem mostrado efeitos positivos sobre a nocicepcao e a inflamacao. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito antihipernociceptivo de Phyllanthus amarus e do trans-cariofileno no modelo de encefalomielite autoimune experimental (EAE). Inicialmente foi feita a analise fitoquimica do extrato hexanico de Phyllanthus amarus (EHPa) e as principais lignanas encontradas foram filantina, nirantina e 5-demetoxinirantina. Para todos os experimentos realizados foram utilizados camundongos femeas C57BL/6J. Nao foram observadas alteracoes siginificativas nos testes iniciais (triagem farmacologica e rota rod). A nocicepcao foi avaliada pelo teste de placa quente e formalina na pata. Todas as doses de EHPa promoveram efeito antinociceptivo no teste de formalina, em ambas as fases, mas somente a dose de 400 mg/kg aumentou o tempo de permanencia dos camundongos sobre a placa aquecida. Na etapa seguinte, a EAE foi induzida por injecao subcutanea com 200 μg do peptideo de MOG35-55 dissolvida em CFA. Os animais foram avaliados quanto a hipernocicepcao mecanica (von Frey), a coordenacao motora, ao peso e ao desenvolvimento da doenca. Nenhuma das doses de Phyllanthus amarus administradas foi capaz de modificar os parametros analisados. Os mesmos experimentos foram realizados em animais com EAE, mas o tratamento com o transcariofileno nao previniu a reducao do peso, as alteracoes motoras, e nem modificou o desenvolvimento da doenca. No entanto, com relacao a hipernocicepcao, as tres doses foram efetivas em aumentar o limiar de nocicepcao, a partir do 6° dia apos a inducao da doenca. Quando o mecanismo de acao do trans-cariofileno foi avaliado, o efeito agudo da dose de 10 mg/kg foi bloqueado pela naloxona (antagonista opioide) e pelo AM630 (antagonista canabinoide). A resposta de proliferacao e producao de citocina, foi analisada apos sete dias de tratamento. Porem, a dose de 10 mg/kg do trans-cariofileno nao modificou a proliferacao das celulas T CD4+ e nem a producao de IFN-γ. Como conclusao, estes produtos naturais podem atuar de maneira diferente dependo do modelo empregado e metodo de extracao utilizado. Ainda que o extrato da planta nao tenha sido efetivo, o trans-cariofileno foi capaz de reduzir a hipernocicepcao induzida na EAE. Os resultados mostram a relevancia de estudos com produtos naturais para o emprego em neuropatias dolorosas / FAPESP: 09/51882-8 / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações
