No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissert Leslivan Ubiratan de Moraes.pdf: 723767 bytes, checksum: 88adcd404b3c30cc9f22d95b44bd13b3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-04-16 / The jurubeba was identified that such species was Solanum scuticum M. Nee, from which pharmacognostic and morphanatomic data were not available to Goiás. Because of that, we tried some complementary data. For the morphoanatomic evaluation of the leaves some cuts were carried out as described by Kraus and Arduin (1997). For the phytochemical trial, it was used some methodologies as described by Costa (2001). With the phytochemical screening, were identified alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarins, anthraquinones and saponins in prospecting phytochemical. Both in phytochemical trial, as in the phytochemical prospection, it was found alkaloids. Due to the biological activities of these secondary metabolites, we obtained the alkaloid fraction, using the dust of the leaves, and we got the ethanol extract. The fractions were divided by polarity and they were evaluated by thin-layer chromatography. Microbiological evaluation was carried out to verify possible contaminants. Such evaluation did not reveal the presence of microorganisms, and it was raised the possibility of antimicrobiotic activity of the raw extract in twenty three strains of bacteria and in two yeasts. According to the antimicrobial tests, the extract presented some features, as the difficult of solubility in aqueous medium, and the best dilution was achieved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 50%. These tests also demonstrated the difficult of the solubilization of the fractions, which it will be used in the experiments of Vero cells cultures. It was verified the low antimicrobial activity of the raw hidroethanolic extract. Of all the fractions, the alkaloid fraction presented the best solubility in DMSO 0.3%. So, it was proceeded the dilution and the evaluation of the alkaloid fraction in Vero cells, and it was evaluated morphology, viability and cellular proliferation. We finally verified the citotoxicity of the alkaloid fraction in the statistical analyses, and in the vitality test carried out by Trypan blue, and also in the morphological alterations compatible to citotoxity alterations. / A espécie de jurubeba estudada no presente trabalho é Solanum scuticum M. Nee, da qual não eram disponíveis dados farmacognósticos e nem morfoanatômicos para Goiás. Para a avaliação morfoanatômica das folhas S. scuticum realizaram-se cortes à mão livre e cortes permanentes como descrito por Kraus e Arduin (1997). Para realização de triagem fitoquímica utilizou-se as metodologias descritas por Costa (2001). Com na triagem fitoquímica, foram identificados alcalóides, flavonóides cumarinas, heterosídios antraquinônicos e heterosídios saponínicos na prospecção fitoquímica. O extrato etanólico das folhas foi obtido e apartir do mesmo procedeu-se o fracionamento por diferença de polaridade, e realizaram-se avaliações dos seus componentes através de cromatografia de camada delgada. Testou-se a esterelidade da droga em pó e a possível atividade antimicrobiana do extrato bruto hidoalcoólico de S. scuticum. Tal avaliação não revelou a presença de microrganismos, sendo levantada a possível atividade antimicrobiana do extrato bruto frente a vinte e três cepas de bactérias e duas de leveduras. Os testes demonstraram também a dificuldade de solubilização das frações, as quais seriam utilizadas nos experimentos de cultura de células da linhagem Vero. Sendo averiguada baixa atividade anti-microbiana do extrato hidroalcóolico bruto. Tendo em vista as atividades biológicas do grupo dos alcalóides procedeu-se à obtenção da fração alcaloídica a partir do pó das folhas. Pelos testes antimicrobianos o extrato apresentou características de difícil solubilidade em meio aquoso, a melhor diluição para emprego do extrato foi obtida em dimetilsulfóxido (DMSO) 50%. Das frações a que possuiu melhor solubilidade em DMSO foi à alcaloídica, na concentração de 0,3%. Assim procedeu-se a diluição e a avaliação da atividade da fração alcaloídica em células da linhagem Vero, avaliando-se a morfologia, viabilidade e proliferação celular frente aos tratamentos realizados. Verificando-se atividade citotóxica da fração alcaloídica tanto nas avaliações estatísticas do teste de vitalidade por azul de Trypan, quanto nas alterações morfológicas compatíveis com alterações citotóxicas.
