Por ser uma doen?a com amplo espectro cl?nico e por n?o possuir vacina ou tratamento eficaz, o estudo de poss?veis antivirais que visam diminuir a viremia do paciente ? de suma import?ncia, j? que este ? um dos fatores que pode levar a febre hemorr?gica da dengue e a s?ndrome do choque da dengue que s?o as formas grave da doen?a. No presente estudo foi avaliado o potencial antiviral do extrato da folhada planta Caesalpinia echinata contra o v?rus dengue-2 (DENV-2) em cultura de c?lulas C6/36 e Vero e a a??o antiviral da Rifampicina em c?lulas Vero. A escolha da Caesalpinia echinata se deve ao fato de que j? foi observada sua a??o antiinflamat?ria e antimal?rica, al?m de n?o ter sido encontrado nenhum trabalho que tenha avaliado seu potencial de a??o frente a v?rus. A Rifampicina foi escolhida por demonstrado a??o antiviral, principalmente contra os poxvirus, por?m poucos s?os os relatos da utiliza??o deste f?rmaco contra v?rus de RNA. O resultado foi obtido atrav?s da quantifica??o da carga viral pela t?cnica da qRT-PCR em Tempo Real. As c?lulas infectadas por DENV-2 foram submetidas ao tratamento pelo per?odo de 7 dias em diferentes concentra??es do extrato da planta Caesalpinia echinataque variou entre 0,68 a 0,0068mg/mL. N?o foi poss?vel observar neste estudo, evid?ncias de inibi??o significativa da replica??o do v?rus DENV-2 em ambas as culturas celulares. ARifampicina foi utilizada em diferentes condi??es de tratamento, no qual foi avaliado ao longo de 72 horas a carga viral produzida nas c?lulas Vero.Nas condi??es de tratamento p?s-infec??o e no ensaio virucida o f?rmaco apresentou atividade antiviral, reduzindo a taxa de replica??o em 100 vezes em rela??o ao controle. De acordo com os nossos resultados conclui-se que a Rifampicina mostrou-se eficaz no combate a infec??o do DENV-2 em cultura de c?lulas Vero. / The dengue virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family and the Flavivirus genus, consisting of four serotypes antigenically distinct, are considered the most important arbovirus in the world to cause high rates of morbidity and mortality in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, threatening to 3, 6 billion people in over 100 countries. Because it is a disease with a wide clinical spectrum and has no vaccine or effective treatment, the study of possible antiviral drugs aimed at reducing viremia of patients is of paramount importance, since this is one of the factors which can lead to dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome that are severe forms of the disease. In the present study we evaluated the antiviral potential of the leaf extract of the plant Caesalpinia echinata against dengue-2 virus (DENV-2) in cultured C6/36 and Vero cells and the antiviral action of Rifampicin on Vero cells. The choice of Caesalpinia echinata is due to the fact that has been observed its action anti-inflammatory and antimalarial , and not have been found no study evaluated its antiviral effect. Rifampin was chosen was chosen for demonstrated antiviral action, especially against poxviruses, but few sane reports usage of this drug against RNA viruses. The result was obtained by quantifying the viral load bythe technique of Real-time qRT-PCR. Cells infected with DENV-2 were subjected to treatment for 7 days in different concentrations of plant extract Caesalpinia echinata (0.68 - 0,0068mg / ml). As a result, we could not observe a inhibition significant of virus replication in both cell cultures. The Rifampicin was used for different treatment condition,which were evaluated over 72 hours the amount of viral load produced in Vero cells, In the conditions treatment and the test virucidal theantiviral activity, which is capable of reducing the rate of 100X replication as compared to control. According to our results we can conclude that Rifampicin was effective in action against to infection DENV-2 in Vero cell culture.
