Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Atividade antitumoral em células de câncer gástrico e atividade antioxidante de extratos de Eugenia patrisii vahl(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-09-09) REIS, Herald Souza dos; AMARANTE, Cristine Bastos do; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4101983776191966; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-8602-8180; PRADO, Alejandro Ferraz do; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7016475842644161; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0001-7495-9837Several antineoplastic drugs are natural origin or from derived compounds and plants are one of the primary sources of substances for this sort of drugs. Studies with Myrtaceae family plants, demonstrated several effects such as anticancer and antioxidant. A plant in this family that may have biological activities is Eugenia patrisii Vahl, popularly known as Ubaia-rubi-da-amazônia, a plant native to the Amazon Region. Therefore, the work objective was to evaluate the antitumor and antioxidant activity of hydroalcoholic extracts of the leaf and stem of the E. patrisii species. The chemical profile of the extracts was done using thin layer chromatography. The antioxidant activity was assessed by the DPPH test. For antitumor activity, a cell viability test was performed using the MTT method on gastric cancer lines (ACP02, ACP03 and AGP01) and normal lines (VERO and MN01). Gel zymography was also performed to assess the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9. The data obtained were analyzed using the Graph Pad Prism program version 8.0. The tests used were variance analysis (ANOVA) and Test t Student, with p <0.05 being considered significant. The plates derived from thin layer chromatography showed presence of terpenes, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and absence of coumarins and alkaloids. The extracts were shown to have antioxidant capacity through the DPPH assay. In the cell viability test, the extracts showed a high potency against gastric tumor lines and did not affect the normal line. In addition, the leaf extract decreased MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity in gel. The extracts have terpenes, flavonoids and phenolic compounds that have an antioxidant activity of 82% compared to the standard and antitumor against gastric lines ACP03 and AGP01 with the potential to isolate compounds of pharmacological interest.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da adesão ao tratamento preconizado para malária: determinação da primaquina em pacientes diagnosticados com Plasmodium vivax(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-31) GONÇALVES FILHO, Wilson Vieira; VIEIRA, José Luiz Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2739079559531098; ANDRADE, Marcieni Ataíde de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8514584872100128Malaria is a disease that threatens 50% of the world population living in endemic areas such as Africa, Asia and Latin America. Concerning malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax in Brazil, which treatment is based on primaquine and chloroquine, it is a major public health issue that hinders the development of the Amazon region and adherence to drug therapy is one of the main factors that influence the effectiveness of the drug. This study uses indirect methods assess treatment adherence, correlating it with plasma concentrations of primaquine and carboxyprimaquine. Thus, a cross-sectional observational controlled study was conducted with 27 patients in Anajás, Pará before (D0), during (D1) and after (D7) treatment using the antimalarials, followed by the assessment of the patients with questions based on Morisky-Green test at the end of the treatment. Higher prevalence of vivax malaria was observed in males (70.4%) and age group of 20-39 years (55.56%), Morisky-Green test indicated adherence of 75%, 15 out of 20 patients, with hit rates of 80%, 65%, 70% and 65% to the questions. Mean-value of primaquine concentration on D1 was 134.8 ng/mL, and 131.9 ng/mL on D7, values for carboxyprimaquine are 408 ng/ml and 529.4 ng/mL respectively. It is possible to observe a statistically significant difference in the carboxyprimaquine values between D1 and D7 in the acceding group defined by the Morisky-Green tests, showing that carboxyprimaquine accumulates in the body; therefore being more suitable for assessing adherence to treatment. Therefore, it is important to point out these concentrations of primaquine and carboxyprimaquine consist as the first determination study of drugs and metabolites found for the short-course treatment suggested by the Ministry of Health for vivax malaria in the Amazon region, supporting the studies of adherence surveys regarding antimalarials.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação de atividade antimicrobiana e perfil fitoquimíco de plantas medicinais utilizadas por comunidades remanescentes de quilombos no Marajó(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-12-28) SILVA, Suzana Helena Campelo Nogueira da; MONTEIRO, Marta Chagas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6710783324317390; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-3328-5650; SILVA, Consuelo Yumiko Yoshioka e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8337688339279747; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-9120-1910The ethnopharmacological survey is recognized as one of the most viable methods in the search for new medicinal plants, with the ultimate purpose of producing medicines of natural or semi-synthetic origin. In this sense, the remaining communities of Amazonian quilombolas (Marajó-PA) carry with them a great deal of knowledge about the use of medicinal plants, which has been passed down for generations in Mararajo soil, promoting the value of popular knowledge and its applicability in future studies. The objective of this study is to provide scientific support for the traditional use of plants in the treatment of dermatological diseases in quilombola communities in Marajó that do not yet have an adequate chemical and / or pharmacological study. During the fieldwork carried out between 2017 and 2018, 13 communities were interviewed, in which 7 plants with use in skin diseases were cited. Such plants were collected, and their exsiccates were prepared. After botanical identification by a qualified professional, an extensive bibliographic review was carried out, after which 3 plants were selected for phytochemical and pharmacological study (in vitro in Microsporum and Staphylococcus aureus). In addition, they were subjected to ORAC antioxidant and TP total polyphenols tests. The phytochemical profile was analyzed using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) providing 17 chemical constituents, belonging to the flavonoid class. The results of the in vitro tests showed an antibacterial potential of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of C. alatus (MIC) of 0.625 µg / mL and (CBM) of 0.734 µg / mL and of the ethanol extract of the roots D. floribunda (MIC) of 125, 0 ug / mL and 200.0 μg / mL (CBM) compared to S. aureus, with emphasis on the F3 fraction (MIC) 25.0 μg / mL and (CBM) of 132.0 which presented the highest bacterial inhibition. Therefore, the results contributed to the validation of popular use and chemical characterization of the species that presented antimicrobial potential, which can be a promising candidate for herbal medicine.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Conciliação medicamentosa e revisão da farmacoterapia em oncopediatria: ações efetivas para prevenção de erros(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-08-23) PENHA, Nathalia Santos da; SILVA, Marcos Valério Santos da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0379783635000306; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-7824-0042Medication errors in oncopediatry affect the chemotherapy treatment of prolonging hospitalization time, aggravate adverse reactions and the results in the patient, and are not desirable for the child-juvenile patient. Being a public where they are tested the viruses are very limited, they compete with a Clinical Pharmacy, an identification and identification of medication errors that can occur during the prolonged chemotherapy treatment of inpatients. This study was carried out with the objective of clarifying the diagnosis of mental disorders in patients hospitalized at a reference hospital in oncopediatrics in the north and northeast regions. 87.5% were diagnosed with 65% of patients with stable outcome status and 35% resolved status. In addition, 236 drugs were reconciled, identifying 51% of discrepancies, 90% being unintentional and 100% acceptability of the data. Based on the data, it is possible that the proportion of drug reconciliation and review of drugs are important to prevent errors and promote capacity reduction during the chemotherapy treatment of the child with cancer.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Efeitos citoprotetor e citotóxico de Annona glabra (Annonaceae)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10-03) SARMENTO, Rosana Moura; SILVA, Jaqueline Rodrigues da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8336745480297714; DOLABELA, Maria Fâni; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0458080121943649The present study evaluated the cytotoxic and cytoprotective potential of ethanolic extract obtained from the shells of Annona glabra, its fractions and isolated substances. The powder obtained from A.glabra husks was subjected to maceration with ethanol for 7 days, and the solution was concentrated in a rotavaporator to residue. The ethanolic extract from A.glabra was partitioned between aqueous hexane: methanol (9: 1). The methanolic fraction was fractionated in chromatographic column using as Sephadex stationary phase and mobile phase the methanol. The cytotoxicity of the ethanolic extract and fractions was evaluated by the MTT cell viability assay ([3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide]). The extract, fractions and subfractions were submitted to thin layer chromatography (CCD) analysis, and pooled according to similar characteristics. The 50% cytotoxic concentration (IC 50) was determined by linear regression. Fractions of the extract with IC50 ≤ 30 μg / mL and isolated substance with IC50 ≤ 4 μg / mL are considered cytotoxic. Fractions with moderate to low cytotoxicity were submitted to the induction of apoptosis and DNA fragmentation by flow cytometry. Also, these samples were submitted to evaluation of oxidative stress by the TEAC and DPPH method. The extract of A. glabra (8.39% yield) was partitioned to give the methanolic fraction (yield 88.14%) and hexane fraction (yield 8.08%). Ethanolic extract, methanolic fraction and rutin showed low cytotoxicity (IC50 = 137.7, 139.4,> 200 μg / mL, respectively). Hexanic fraction and subfractions 17 and 19 showed moderate non-significant cytotoxicity (IC50 = 45.07, 53.45, 80.65 μg / mL, respectively). All the evaluated samples did not induce apoptosis cells, however, ethanolic extract, hexane fraction and rutin promoted changes in the cell morphology. However, hexanic fraction, subfractions 6 and 7 showed the ability to fragment DNA from cells. The fractionation of the ethanolic extract favored the cytotoxic potential, with the hexane fraction being the most promising, and the antioxidant capacity was also favored, with group 5 being the most promising. These results suggest that A. glabra samples have low cytotoxic potential, and the mechanism involved is not related to the induction of apoptosis, and the ethanolic extract contains substances with antioxidant capacity.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Efeitos do antioxidante tempol nas alterações bioquímicas e estruturais induzidas pela metaloproteinase de matriz 2 no coração(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-09-11) GONÇALVES, Pricila Rodrigues; MONTEIRO, Marta Chagas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6710783324317390; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-3328-5650; PRADO, Alejandro Ferraz do; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7016475842644161; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0001-7495-9837MMP-2 expression is elevated in many cardiovascular pathologies such as myocardial infarction and heart failure, where tissue remodeling and inflammatory responses are disturbed. Changes in ECM homeostasis can lead to cardiac dysfunction. The most analyzed MMPs in relation to cardiac dysfunction are MMP 2 and MMP-9. ROS inhibitors, as antioxidants, have been shown to reduce the expression of MMP-2 in vascular tissue. Thus, antioxidants with Tempol have great potential to act on these mechanisms. Therefore, we evaluated the activity and purity of rhMMP-2 using the zymogram and SDS-PAGE silver-stained method. The animals were divided into 4 treatment groups. Group 1: received 0.9% saline; group 2: Tempol 18 mg / kg / v.o; group 3: MMP-2 150 ng / kg / i.p; group 4: Tempol 18 mg / kg / v.o + MMP-2 150 ng / kg / i.p; for 4 weeks. At the end of the treatment, the heart was collected for quantification of collagen, quantification of ROS by fluorescence microscopy and immunofluorescence for TNFα and TGF-β. After the analysis, our results showed that rhMMP-2 was pure and active and that there was no difference in the average weight of the animals (P> 0.05). In the group treated withrhMMP-2 and Tempol, there was a decrease in the heart weight / body weight ratio, compared to the control group (P <0.05). Tempol was able to decrease collagen in the heart of animals treated with rhMMP 2. We also saw rhMMP-2 increased ROS in the heart, which was prevented by Tempol. RhMMP-2 also led to an increase in TNF-α and TGF-β in the heart, however TGF-β was reduced by Tempol. In conclusion, rhMMP-2 infusion increased cardiac ROS, which can lead to oxidative stress, with a consequent increase in TNF-α and TGF-β, which can result in a heart with a pro-fibrotic and inflammatory profile. However, Tempol was able to reduce interstitial collagen, inhibit the increase in ROS, TNF-α, TGF-β and increase catalase in the heart. Having Tempol, the potential to inhibit factors that lead to oxidative stress, inflammation and cardiac fibrosis.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Efeitos do tratamento subcrônico com fluoxetina sobre os comportamentos e parâmetros oxidativos de ratos submetidos ao exercício físico exaustivo(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-08-25) LEAL, Jerusa de Carvalho; MAIA, Cristiane do Socorro Ferraz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4835820645258101; MONTEIRO, Marta Chagas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6710783324317390Fluoxetine is an antidepressant drug of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor class, its use may be a therapeutic alternative in reversing or reducing the changes caused by low serotonergic activity. The increase in serotonergic levels can also be induced by regular physical exercise, in that sense, the health benefits and the prevention of diseases that this type of exercise are promoted are already well reported. However, when exercise is practiced exhaustively it may induce increased oxidative stress and changes in emotional behavior in humans and experimental animals. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of subchronic treatment with fluoxetine on the behavior and oxidative parameters in rats submitted to exhaustive physical exercise in forced swimming. Therefore, adult male rats of Wistar strain were divided into sedentary animals and exposed to exhaustive exercise subcronically that were treated with fluoxetine 10 mg / kg / day (NaCl 0.9%) and saline either via i.p. for 7 days. After 30 minutes of intoxication the animals were individually exposed to exhaustive physical exercise for 20 minutes. On the eighth day of the experiment, the open field test (TCA) and the high cross labyrinth (LCE) were performed to evaluate spontaneous locomotion and anxiety - like behavior, respectively. The animals were then authanized and blood, liver and brain were collected for determination of GSH, TEAC, NO, and MDA levels. The results obtained, the animals treated with fluoxetine associated to exhaustive physical exercise showed reduction in the locomotion caused by the emotional stress in the ACT and reduction in the behavior similar to the anxiety in the LCE. Regarding the parameters of oxidative stress, fluoxetine associated with the practice of exhaustive physical exercise, in general, induced oxidative stress in the organism, mainly in the blood and liver of these animals, with reduction of the levels of GSH and TEAC and increase of levels of NO and MDA. On the other hand, in the brain, treatment with fluoxetine showed protective effect on oxidative stress, with reduction in NO and MDA levels and increase in antioxidant factors. On the data, it is concluded that fluoxetine associated with exhaustive exercise has dual effect of activity in relation to neurobehavioral and oxidative balance, reducing movement and increasing the anxiolytic effect, demonstrating antioxidant or pro-oxidant depending on the tissue or organ evaluated.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação fitoquímica e atividade biológica das cascas de Luehea speciosa willd(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-12-21) NASCIMENTO, Maisa Carmen Batista do; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1372405563294070The barks of Luehea speciosa, family Malvaceae, are used in traditional medicine to treat dysentery, rheumatism, tumors, bronchitis, skin wounds, weight loss and others diseases. However, studies give little information about the species in the literature. Thus, it is of great interest to investigate its chemical constitution and biological activities, since the scientific proof of its activity can promote, in the future, a therapeutic alternative. The present study analyzed the chemical constitution of the dry crude extract (EBS) and hexane (FHX), dichloromethane (FDM), ethyl acetate (AED) and methanolic (FME) fractions of the species by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with tandem mass spectrometric - LC/MS, as well as its antioxidant activities by bioautography and cytotoxic assays, in vitro, against HELA, HEP-2 and VERO tumor cell lines. The samples showed antioxidant activity, being the fractions FDM and AED results more relevant. The EBS and fractions demonstrated cytotoxicity on all cell lines, however the FDM fraction had greater cytotoxic activity against tumor cells. In the LC/MS analyzes, were detected phenolic compounds and suggestive characteristics of chicoric acid presence through m/z = 148, as in the UV spectrum. These results demonstrate that this species has antioxidant activity and suggest its cytotoxicity against tumor cells, being a promising species for future studies.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação fitoquímica e avaliação da atividade anti inflamatória do extrato hidroetílico de folhas de salix humboldtiana em modelo zebrafish (Danio rerio)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-09-25) RAMOS, Uêbem Fernandes; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1372405563294070; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-2421-8245The leaves of Salix humboldtiana, family Salicaceae, are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases, febrile states, among others. However, there is little information about the species in the literature. However, the genus Salix has a very significant diversity of uses in popular medicine, with Salix alba L. as its most renowned representative, which is included in the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia Form of Herbal Medicine. This work proposes to investigate chemical constituents with an emphasis on phenolic compounds, through pharmacognostic studies (analysis of physical-chemical quality); the phytochemical approach, the tests, served to demonstrate the presence of classes of secondary metabolites: reducing sugars, phenols and tannins, flavonoids, catechins, steroids and coumarin derivatives; fractionation, CCD and CLAE-DAD. In addition to biological testing on an animal model (D. rerio) to investigate anti-inflammatory activities. In this sense, the objectives of performing the phytochemical analyzes and the bioassay, the Salix humboldtiana Ethyl Extract (EBSh) was used in different doses in in vivo tests. Groups previously treated with 75 mg / kg EBSh showed 5% inhibition; 150 mg / kg showed 14% inhibition; 300 mg / kg showed 54% inhibition; 500 mg / kg showed 60% inhibition, 750 mg / kg showed 43% inhibition of abdominal edema compared to the negative control. Among the five different concentrations of EBSh tested and evaluated in the zebrafish model, the concentration of 500 mg, provided a statistically more expressive response regarding anti-inflammatory activity and anti-edematogenic degree after 5 h of treatment. This response was superior to the indomethacin standard when compared to the negative control, thus indicating the ability to reduce and / or inhibit edema in the peritoneal region. The animals subjected to the tests showed changes in normal behavior at all doses tested, these changes varied according to the concentration of EBSh administered. In the three lowest doses (75 mg, 150 mg and 300 mg), the fish showed only mild to moderate changes and less frequently, while in the two highest concentrations (500 mg and 750 mg), they manifested important behavioral changes, some with greater frequency and intensity.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação fitoquímica e das atividades antioxidante e antiparasitária do extrato e frações de Aspidosperma excelsum Benth(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-09-30) NASCIMENTO, Myrth Soares do; VASCONCELOS, Flávio de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3695753129639448; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1372405563294070Neglected diseases are diseases that affect a large number of people around the world. These include Chagas disease, leishmaniasis and malaria, whose therapy used, in addition to reduced presents problems that hinder their treatment and show the need to search for new therapeutic options. Aspidosperma excelsum (Apocynaceae), popularly known as carapanaúba, is used in the popular herbal medicine for the treatment of malaria. Its chemical constitution and antiparasitic activity of other species of genus suggests its antiparasitic potential. To investigate their chemical constitution and possible biological activities, the lyophilized extract, obtained from barks of specie, and their alkaloidic fractions were analyzed by chromatographic techniques and evaluated for antioxidant and antiparasitic activity against Leishmania ssp., Trypanossoma cruzi e Plasmodium falciparum. The HPLC analyses showed peaks highly correlated to yohimbine in the tincture and in its alkaloidic fractions: FAlk7, FAlk10 and FAlk14. All the samples were active against L. chagasi and FAlk1, FAlk4 and FAlk7 show IC50 values lower than Amphotericin B against L. braziliensis. Fractions FAlk1 and FAlk4 were also active on P. falciparum, showing high selectivity to the parasite. Evaluation of antioxidant activity revealed important capacity of samples in capturing free radicals, characterizing them as antioxidants.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Obtenção de extratos padronizados em antioxidantes naturais: aproveitamento dos resíduos da ucuúba (Virola surinamensis)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-03-21) OLIVEIRA, Kalene de Almeida; COSTA, Roseane Maria Ribeiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0537372052713559Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Obtenção e caracterização de formulação fitoterápica contendo extrato e tintura padronizados de arnica montana l e aesculus hippocastanum l(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-12-18) ARNILLAS, Elyan Andrade Pueyo; VIEIRA, José Luiz; SILVA JÚNIOR, José Otávio Carréra; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4437885351749994Because of the wide dissemination and use of medicinal plants, industries are producing products based on plant species, such as extracts and tinctures, which are mainly used by pharmacy with handling. However, it is questionable collateral for the vast majority of these products as to their efficacy, safety and quality, and may bring risks to the user's health.

Computational simulation and molecular modeling can provide effective contributions to the design and evaluation of complex systems, such as lipid nanocarriers containing natural inputs. In this work, a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) was proposed using triacylglycerols of cupuaçu fat and capric/caprylic acid, carnauba wax, tween 80®, pluronic® and an enantiomer of ketoconazole. Experimental tests were carried out to evaluate the crystallinity and thermal events of the lipid mixtures, which demonstrated that the M03 mixture had a lower enthalpy value (-15,17 J/g) and greater widening of the diffractogram peaks, suggesting a lower crystallinity structure. Computational simulations were performed to elucidate 3D structures, to study molecular and electrostatic properties, as well as intermolecular interactions with the drug. The molecular docking of M03 with ketoconazole showed interaction of the hydrogen bond type, with bond distance of 2,62 to 3,50Å and affinity energy of -5,3 Kcal/mol. The three-dimensional CLN model showed good molecular distribution and after simulation of molecular dynamics, the system remained stable (energy -1895,47 KJ / mol), with moderate to weak hydrogen bonding interactions and a distance of 2,45 to 3,50Å. RDF profiles established demonstrate strong interactions between ketoconazole and tween 80, between water and pluronic, between pluronic and SOO, and between tween 80 and SOO, all interactions occurring within the radius ≥2Å of distance. These results can be used as support to guide the future development of a CLN formulation, anticipating the experimental tests and helping to obtain thriving formulations.
