Previous issue date: 2008-12-23 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / In recent years, sulfated polysaccharides (SP) from marine algae have emerged as an important class of natural biopolymers with potential pharmacology applications.
Among these, SP isolated from the cell walls of red algae have been study due to their anticoagulant,antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory activities. In the present study, three sulfated polysaccharides fractions denominated F1.5v, F2.0v and F3.0v were obtained from seaweed G. caudate by proteolysis followed to acetone fractionation. Gel electrophoresis using 0.05 M 1,3-diaminopropane-acetate buffer, pH 9,0, stained with 0.1% toluidine blue, showed the presence of SP in all fractions. The chemical analysis demonstrated that all the fractions are composed mainly of galactose. These compounds were evaluated in anticoagulant, antioxidant and antiproliferative activities. In anticoagulant activity evaluated through aPTT and PT tests, no one fractions presented anticoagulant activity at tested concentrations (0.1 mg/mL; 1.0 mg/mL; 2.0 mg/mL).The antioxidant activities of the three fractions were evaluated by the following in vitro systems: Total antioxidant capacity, superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging, ferrous chelating activity and reducing power. The fractions were found to have different levels of antioxidant activity in the systems tested. F1.5v shows the highest activity, especially in the ferrous chelating system, with 70% of ferrous inhibiting at 1.0 mg.mL-1. Finally, all the fractions showed dose-dependent antiproliferative activity against HeLa cells. The fractions F1.5v and F2.0v presented the highest antiproliferative activity at 2.0 mg/mL with 42.7% and 37.0% of inhibition, respectively. Ours results suggests that the sulfated polysaccharides from seaweed G. caudata are promising compounds in antioxidant and/or antitumor therapy / Nos ?ltimos anos, os polissacar?deos sulfatados de algas marinhas t?m emergido como uma importante classe de biopol?meros naturais com potenciais aplica??es farmacol?gicas. Dentre estas, os polissacar?deos sulfatados de algas vermelhas tem sido extensivamente estudados, principalmente devido seu potencial anticoagulante, antitromb?tico e antiinflamat?rio. Neste estudo, tr?s fra??es de polissacar?deos sulfatados, denominadas F1,5v, F2,0v e F3,0v, foram extra?das da alga vermelha Gracilaria caudata, atrav?s de prote?lise, seguida de fracionamento com acetona. Eletroforese em gel de agarose em Tamp?o PDA mostrou a presen?a de polissacar?deos sulfatados em todas as fra??es. As an?lises qu?micas demonstraram que todas as fra??es s?o compostas principalmente de galactose. Esses compostos foram testados para as atividades anticoagulante, antioxidante e antiproliferativa. Na atividade anticoagulante avaliada atrav?s de kits comerciais de aPTT e PT, nenhuma das fra??es apresentou atividade nas concentra??es testadas (0,1; 0,5 e 1,0 mg/mL). A atividade antioxidante das fra??es polissacar?dicas foi avaliada atrav?s de diversos ensaios in vitro: Capacidade antioxidante total, seq?estro de radical super?xido e hidroxila, quela??o f?rrica e poder redutor. As fra??es apresentaram diferentes n?veis de atividade antioxidante nos sistemas testados. A fra??o F1,5v apresentou a maior atividade antioxidante, principalmente no ensaio de quela??o f?rrica, com cerca de 70,00% de inibi??o na concentra??o de 1,0 mg/mL. Finalmente, todas as fra??es apresentaram atividade antiproliferativa dose-dependente frente a linhagem celular tumoral HeLa. As fra??es F1,5v e F2,0v apresentaram as maiores atividades antiproliferativa na concentra??o de 2,0 mg/mL, com 42,70% e 37,00% de inibi??o da prolifera??o celular em rela??o ao controle. Nossos resultados sugerem que os polissacar?deos sulfatados de G. caudata s?o promissores f?rmacos na terapia antioxidante e/ou antiproliferativa
