Grande parte dos compostos sintéticos presentes no mercado atual tem origem de produtos naturais, em especial de plantas. O nemorosone é o constituinte majoritário da resina floral de Clusia rósea Jacq., Clusiaceae, e da própolis cubana. Estudos in vitro relataram atividade citotóxica dessa substância contra várias linhagens de células tumorais incluindo aquelas resistentes a diversas drogas citostáticas, além de apresentar uma baixa citotoxicidade sobre células não-tumorais. Portanto, visando à caracterização da atividade biológica do nemorosone, uma substância com potencial atividade antitumoral e a importância dos testes de toxicidade para a avaliação da segurança pré-clínica de compostos candidatos a drogas, os objetivos desse trabalho se fundamentaram em estudar a influência do nemorosone sobre danos ao DNA pelo teste do Cometa em células mamárias normais (MCF10A) e tumorais (MCF-7 BUS), assim como a sua atividade mutagênica e antimutagênica por meio do teste de Ames, utilizando diferentes linhagens de Salmonella typhimurium. Além disso, foi caracterizada sua atividade estrogênica e antiestrogênica através do Ensaio de E-Screen, o qual determina o efeito proliferativo da substância em células MCF-7 sensíveis a estrógenos e também pelo modelo experimental que utiliza leveduras recombinantes (Recombinant Yeast Assay). Posteriormente, foi avaliada sua influência sobre o ciclo celular de MCF-7 BUS através de citometria de fluxo e análise de expressão de diferentes genes nessa mesma linhagem celular pela técnica de PCR Array, para a elucidação de possíveis mecanismos de ação do nemorosone, a fim de contribuir para sua recomendação como agente terapêutico... / Currently, a wide range of research involving natural products is focused on the discovery of new drugs in many different therapeutic areas. A great number of the synthetic compounds on the market were derived from natural products, especially plants. Nemorosone is the major constituent of the floral resin of Clusia rosea Jacq., Clusiaceae, and in Cuban propolis. In vitro studies have shown cytotoxic activity in this substance against various tumor cell lines, including those resistant to various cytotoxic drugs, whereas it has low cytotoxicity to non-tumoral cells. Therefore, in order to characterize the biological activity of nemorosone, a substance with potential antitumor activity, and in view of preclinical testing of the toxicity of drug candidate compounds, the aim of this study was to determine the nemorosone capacity to induce DNA damages in normal breast cells (MCF10A) and breast cancer cells (MCF-7 BUS) by Comet Assay, as well as the mutagenic and antimutagenic activity by Ames test. Moreover, to characterize the estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity by E-Screen Assay, wich determines the proliferative effect of the compound in MCF-7 cells sensitive to estrogen and by experimental recombinant yeast model (Recombinant Yeast Assay).Subsequently, nemorosone influence on MCF-7 BUS cell cycle was assessed by flow cytometry analysis and the expression of different genes in the same cell line was evaluated by PCR Array for identification of possible mechanisms of action of the compound, in order to contribute to its recommendation as a therapeutic agent. The nemorosone did not induce damages in normal or cancer breast cells DNA after treatment during 3 and 24 hours, when evaluated by Comet Assay. The compound showed higher citotoxicity to cancer cells than to normal breast cells. In the Ames test, nemorosone presented no mutagenic potencial... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Vacchi_FrancineInforcato_M.pdf: 2178218 bytes, checksum: c13ca17191dbaab46671272dc416c546 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012 / Resumo: Cerca de 70% dos corantes utilizados em indústrias têxteis são corantes do tipo azo, que se caracterizam pelo grupo -N=N- ligado a sistemas aromáticos, sendo que a função azo inclui os principais tipos de corantes. A eliminação da cor no efluente é um grande desafio para o setor têxtil, já que, aproximadamente, 15% da produção mundial de corantes são descartados para o meio ambiente durante sua produção, processamento e aplicação. O corante comercial Disperse Red 1 utilizado neste trabalho é composto por seis corantes diferentes e surfactante, porém o corante principal em sua composição é o Disperse Red 1 (N-Ethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-(4- nitrophenylazo) aniline; CAS number 2872-52-8) com 60% em massa. O corante comercial foi submetido ao processo de cloração com gás cloro, simulando as condições utilizadas em Estações de Tratamento de Efluentes. A toxicidade do corante comercial CI Disperse Red 1 e do subproduto clorado foi avaliada em testes agudos com Ceriodapnhia dubia, Ceriodaphnia silvestrii, Daphnia similis, Daphnia magna, Hydra attenuata, e em testes crônicos com Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Ceriodapnhia dubia, e Hydra attenuata. A mutagenicidade foi avaliada com ensaio Salmonella/microssoma com as linhagens TA98, TA100 e YG1041. D. similis foi o organismo mais sensível ao corante comercial; e H. attenuata foi mais sensível ao subproduto clorado. A CE50 obtida para D. similis para o corante comercial é similar ao corante puro, mostrando que a toxicidade do corante comercial é devido ao Disperse Red 1. O subproduto clorado foi menos tóxico do que o corante para todos os organismos testados, com exceção de H. attenuata. Porém, o subproduto clorado foi mais mutagênico do que o corante para todas as linhagens testadas. Mais estudos são necessários para compreender os mecanismos envolvidos na toxicidade destes corantes, considerando sua alta toxicidade para organismos aquáticos, a fim de fornecer informações para a elaboração de corantes ambientalmente corretos. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho podem fornecer informações úteis para a derivação de critérios para qualidade da água para esse corante / Abstract: About 70% of dyes used in textiles industries are of type azo. These days 15% of the dye world production is discharged into the environment during its production, processing and application. Effluent that contains dyes must have their color removed in order to be in compliance with environmental regulations, but sometimes the treatment can lead to more toxic compounds. The commercial azo dye Disperse Red 1 used in this study is composed of six different dye constituents and surfactant; however the main dye of the commercial product is the Disperse Red 1 (N-Ethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-(4-nitrophenylazo) aniline; CAS number 2872-52-8). Commercial dye samples were treated with chlorine gas, in order to simulate the conditions used in effluent treatment plant. The ecotoxicity of the commercial dye and chlorinated byproduct was evaluated in acute tests with Ceriodaphnia dubia, Ceriodaphnia silvestrii, Daphnia similis, Daphnia magna, and Hydra attenuata as well as in chronic toxicity tests with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Ceriodapnhia dubia and Hydra attenuata. Mutagenicity was evaluated using Salmonella/microsome assay with TA98, TA100 and YG1041 strains. The commercial dye Disperse Red 1 was similarly toxic to P. subcapitata, C. dubia and D. similis, even with different endpoints. The chlorinated byproduct was less toxic to all organisms tested than the dye, except for H. attenuata. The toxicity of the commercial dye is due to Disperse Red 1 itself and the surfactant does not seem to contribute to the toxicity, at least to D. similis. The chlorinated byproduct was more mutagenic than the commercial dye. More studies are necessary to address the mechanisms involved in the toxicity of this azo dye considering its high toxicity to aquatic organisms in order to provide information for the design of more environmental friendly dye products. The results obtained in this work can provide useful information for the derivation of water quality criteria for this dye / Mestrado / Tecnologia e Inovação / Mestre em Tecnologia

Plant activation of different chemicals by tobacco and brassica cell cultures, using the plant cellmicrobe coincubation assay

Castillo-Ruiz, Priscila January 1990 (has links)
In this study, the ability of various chemicals to be biotransformed into mutagens by plant cells was investigated. Two thiocarbamate herbicides, diallate and triallate, the sulfonylurea herbicide chlorsulfuron, and the aniline derivative m-phenylenediamine were tested for their ability to revert Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA100 and TA98) in the presence and absence of Nicotiana tabacum (TX1) cell cultures in liquid suspension. Chlorsulfuron and m-phenylenediamine were also tested in the presence and absence of Brassica napus cv. 'Topas' cells. Diallate was found to be activated by TX1 cells into a mutagen that induces base-pair substitution mutations. In the presence of the TX1 plant cell line, chlorsulfuron significantly increased the number of mutations on the strain TA98 of Salmonella. Tobacco TX1 cells did not activate triallate into a mutagen. m-Phenylenediamine was activated into a mutagen by TX1 and Brassica cells as detected by Salmonella TA98. This aniline derivative, in the absence of plant cells and at concentrations higher than 20 $ mu$ Moles/plate, was also able to significantly increase the number of TA98 revertants as compared to the control plants. Finally, Brassica napus cells activated chlorsulfuron into a mutagen that induces frameshift mutations.
