Previous issue date: 2008-05-26 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / Studies made with polysaccharides of seaweed have demonstrated that these present important biological and pharmacological activities. These composites had
presented "scavenging" activity of free radicals, which is important in the mediation of the inflammatory process and in the pathology of diverse disease. Recently, this "scavenging" property has taken some researches to evaluate the antioxidant
capacity from various polysaccharides. Considering the limited research with polysaccharides and knowing its largely employed by the pharmaceutical and foodstuffs industries, we have objective to verify the actions from fucans and galactans as antioxidants. The fucans are found in brown seaweed and the galactans (carrageenans) in red seaweed. The fucans were obtained from seaweed Padina gymnospora (F0.5 e F1.1 fractions), common to our coastline and one another fucan,
fucoidan, was of origin commercial and extracted from seaweed Fucus vesiculosus. The λ, κ e ι carrageenans were also of origin commercial. The antioxidant activities were tested in superoxide and hydroxyl systems to generated free radicals and for
the inhibition of the lipid peroxidation. The results obtained to inhibition of formation the superoxide radicals demonstrated that all polysaccharides presented scavenging activity of superoxide radicals. The fucoidan, F0.5 and F1.1 fractions
presented IC50 of 0.058; 0.243 and 0.243 mg/mL, respectively, while IC50 of the λ, κ and ι carrageenans were 0.046; 0.112 and 0.332 mg/mL, respectively. The results to inhibition of formation the hydroxyl radicals demonstrated that all sample had low effect in the inhibition of the formation of these radicals, except the F0.5. For these radicals the IC50 were 0.157 and 0.353 mg/mL to the fucoidan and F1.1, respectively
and 0.357; 0.335 and 0.281 mg/mL to λ, κ and ι carrageenans, respectively. All the samples were capacity to inhibition the peroxidation, it present the IC50 of 1.250; 2.753 and 2.341 mg/mL to fucoidan, F0.5 and F1.1, respectively. Already the λ, κ and ι carrageenans presented the IC50 of 2.697; 0.323 and 0.830 mg/mL, respectively. With these findings, we conclude that polysaccharides used in this study presented activity antioxidant, and that fucoidan and the λ carrageenan show a significant "scavenging" activity for the radicals superoxide and the κ carrageenan a significant inhibitory activity for the lipid peroxidation / Estudos feitos com polissacar?deos de algas t?m demonstrado que esses apresentam atividades biol?gicas e farmacol?gicas importantes. Estes compostos apresentaram atividade varredora de radicais livres, os quais s?o importantes na
media??o do processo inflamat?rio e na patologia de diversas doen?as. Recentemente, essa propriedade varredora tem levado alguns pesquisadores a avaliar a capacidade antioxidante de diversos polissacar?deos. Considerando o reduzido n?mero de pesquisas com estes compostos e sabendo-se de seu largo
emprego pela ind?stria farmac?utica e aliment?cia, objetivamos neste trabalho, verificar as a??es de fucanas e galactanas como antioxidantes. As fucanas s?o encontradas em algas marrons e as galactanas (carragenanas) em algas vermelhas.
As fucanas foram obtidas da alga Padina gymnospora (fra??es F0,5 e F1,1), comum em nosso litoral, e uma outra fucana, o fucoidan, foi de origem comercial e extra?do da alga Fucus vesiculosus. As carragenanas λ, κ e ι tamb?m foram comerciais. A atividade antioxidante foi testada em sistemas geradores de radicais super?xidos e hidroxilas, e pela inibi??o da peroxida??o lip?dica. Os resultados obtidos para inibi??o da forma??o de radicais super?xidos demonstraram que todos os
polissacar?deos apresentaram atividade varredora de radicais super?xidos. O fucoidan, as fra??es F0,5 e F1,1 apresentaram IC50 de 0,058; 0,243 e 0,243 mg/mL, respectivamente; enquanto o IC50 das carragenanas λ, κ e ι foi de 0,046; 0,112 e 0,332 mg/mL, respectivamente. Os resultados para inibi??o da forma??o de radicais hidroxilas demonstraram que todas as amostras inibiram a forma??o destes radicais,
exceto a F0,5. Para estes radicais o IC50 foi de 0,157 e 0,353 mg/mL para o fucoidan e F1,1, e de 0,357; 0,335 e 0,281 mg/mL para carragenanas λ, κ e ι, respectivamente. Todas as amostras foram capazes de inibir a peroxida??o lip?dica com IC50 de 1,250, 2,753 e 2,341 mg/mL para o fucoidan, F0,5 e F1,1, respectivamente. J? as carragenanas λ, κ e ι apresentaram o IC50 de 2,697, 0,323 e 0,830 mg/mL, respectivamente. Com estes achados, conclu?mos que os
polissacar?deos usados neste estudo apresentam atividade antioxidante, e que o fucoidan e a carragenana λ exibem uma significante atividade varredora para os radicais super?xido e a carragenana κ uma significante atividade inibit?ria da
peroxida??o lip?dica
