Efeitos do Ãleo essencial do Eucalyptus tereticornis e dos constituintes 1,8-cineol, α-pineno e β-pineno na motilidade do mÃsculo liso gastrintestinal de ratos

Davi Matthews Jucà 26 September 2012 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / O 1,8-cineol, o α-pineno e β-pineno sÃo monoterpenos constituintes do Ãleo essencial de plantas encontradas no Nordeste do Brasil como a âmalva-santaâ e o âeucaliptoâ (Ãleo Essencial do Eucalyptus tereticornis - OEET) que, na medicina popular, sÃo usadas no tratamento de distÃrbios intestinais e respiratÃrios. As aÃÃes miorrelaxantes desses Ãleos essenciais sÃo atribuÃdas à presenÃa desses monoterpenos. Nosso objetivo foi estudar mais detalhadamente os efeitos desses constituintes, assim como o do OEET, sobre a contratilidade do mÃsculo liso gastrintestinal e sobre o efeito procinÃtico em ratos. No presente estudo, foram usados ratos Wistar machos (180-250g) sacrificados por deslocamento cervical. Tiras de duodeno, Ãleo e fundo de estÃmago foram cortados e mantidos em soluÃÃo de Tyrode normal. As contraÃÃes isomÃtricas foram registradas atravÃs de transdutores de forÃa conectados a sistema computadorizado. SoluÃÃes contendo o 1,8-cineol, o α-pineno ou β-pineno foram preparadas em Tween 80 (concentraÃÃo final ≤ 0,2% v/v). Usados isoladamente, o OEET, o 1,8-cineol, o α-pineno e β-pineno diminuÃram o tÃnus basal em tiras de duodeno. Em tÃnus basal de tiras isoladas de fundo gÃstrico, o OEET e o 1,8-cineol possuÃram efeito miorrelaxante, enquanto o α-pineno e o β-pineno possuÃram efeito contrÃtil. Esse efeito contrÃtil do α-pineno e do β-pineno em tiras isoladas de fundo gÃstrico à por possÃvel interferÃncia com o mecanismo dependente de IP3 e independe da ativaÃÃo local do receptor muscarÃnico e de uma aÃÃo central na ativaÃÃo de receptores nicotÃnicos, da mesma forma, o efeito miorrelaxante na musculatura lisa duodenal à mediado por possÃvel interferÃncia com os mecanismos celulares mediados pela formaÃÃo de IP3. AlÃm disso, como demonstrado anteriormente, em Ãleo de rato, esses monoterpenos provavelmente ativam as vias de entrada de Ca2+ para a cÃlula em situaÃÃes de depleÃÃo dos estoques intracelulares. Em estudos de retenÃÃo fracional de corante no trato gastrintestinal, o OEET, o 1,8-cineol, o α-pineno e o β-pineno promoveram a aceleraÃÃo do esvaziamento gÃstrico. O α-pineno e β-pineno tambÃm aceleraram o trÃnsito intestinal e reduziram a complacÃncia gÃstrica. Os nossos dados mostram que OEET possui propriedades prÃ-cinÃticas, que podem ser atribuÃveis aos efeitos contrastantes induzidos por α-pineno e β-pineno, corroborando com dados apresentados anteriormente (JucÃ, 2007). / The monoterpenes 1,8-cineole, α-pinen and β-pinene are constituents commonly found in several essential oils obtained from plants in Brazilian northeast such as âmalva-santaâ and âeucaliptoâ (Essential Oil of Eucalyptus tereticornis - EOET), which are used in folk medicine to treat respiratory and gastrointestinal dysfunctions. Myorelaxant actions are due to the presence of these constituents in their essential oils. The present work aimed to further study the pharmacological effects of these compounds, as well as the EOET, on smooth muscle gastrointestinal contractility and the prokinetic effect in rats. Wistar rats (200-250 g) were used, sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Strips were carefully obtained from gastric fundus, duodenum and ileum, and were maintained in normal Tyrode‟s solution. Isometric contractions were recorded through force transducers coupled to a computerized data acquisition system. Solutions containing 1,8-cineolo, α-pinene or β-pinene were prepared with Tween 80 (final concentration ≤ 0,2% v/v). Solely used, EOET, 1,8-cineole, α-pinene or β-pinene decreased duodenal basal tonus. In basal tone of gastric fundus isolated strips, EOET and 1,8-cineole had relaxant effect, while α-pinene and β-pinene had contractile effect. This contractile effect of α-pinene and β-pinene in isolated strips of gastric fundus is due to possible interference with IP3-dependent mechanism and independent of the muscarinic receptor activation and a central action in the activation of nicotinic receptors, in the same way, the duodenal smooth muscle relaxant effect is mediated by possible interference with the cellular mechanisms mediated by the formation of IP3. Moreover, as shown above, in the rat ileum, monoterpenes activate capacitative Ca2+ entry to intracellular milieu after Ca2+ stores depletion. The α-pinene and β-pinene also accelerated intestinal transit and reduced gastric compliance. Our data show that OEET has prokinetic properties in rats, which may be attributable to the contrasting effects induced by α-pinene and β-pinene, corroborating data presented previously (JucÃ, 2007).
