(2008-09) PERAZZO, Fabio Ferreira; LIMA, Leonardo Mandalho; PADILHA, Marina de Mesquita; ROCHA, Leandro Machado; SOUSA, Pergentino José da Cunha; CARVALHO, José Carlos Tavares
The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of the standardized leaves extract (HBSE) of Hypericum brasiliense (Guttiferae) were evaluated in animal models. Male Wistar rats were treated with H. brasiliense extract (50, 250 and 500 mg/kg, p.o.) in 3% Tween 80 0.9% saline solution. The treatment of the edema induced by carrageenin with HBSE (500 mg/kg) showed significant inhibition when compared to the control group. At this dose, the edema decreased by 31.25% in the third hour after treatment (edema peak), but the dose of 50 mg/kg has inhibited the edema by 53.13% (p < 0.05). At the dose of 50 mg/kg, the decrease of the edema induced by dextran was similar to that caused by cyproheptadine. The decrease of the formation of granulomatous tissue (6.6%) was comparable to the control group. The HBSE inhibited the abdominal constrictions induced by acetic acid. At a dose of 50 mg/kg, the inhibition of the abdominal constrictions (46.4%) was comparable to that produced by indomethacin (42.9%). A dose of 250 mg/kg inhibited these constrictions by 70.66% when compared to control (p < 0.001). In the hot-plate test, an increase in the latency time was observed at a 50 mg/kg dose. These data suggest that HBSE has anti-inflammatory activity on acute process, developed principally by arachdonic acid derivates and analgesic effect due to its probable involvement in the Central Nervous System.

Anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of Euterpe oleracea Mart., Arecaceae, oil
(2011-02) FAVACHO, Hugo Alexandre Silva; OLIVEIRA, Bianca R.; SANTOS, Kelem Costa dos; MEDEIROS, Benedito Júnior Lima de; SOUSA, Pergentino José da Cunha; PERAZZO, Fabio Ferreira; CARVALHO, José Carlos Tavares
The oil of the fruits of Euterpe oleracea Mart., Arecaceae (OEO), was evaluated in models of inflammation and hyperalgesia in vivo to study its effects on these conditions. The experimental models contained the writhing test in mice, rat paw edema, granuloma test in rats, vascular permeability in rats, cell migration to the peritoneal cavity in rats and ear erythema induced by croton oil in mice. Doses of 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/kg of OEO were administered orally. The observed number of writhes was inhibited by 33.67, 45.88 and 55.58%, respectively. OEO produced a dose-dependent effect, with linear correlation coefficient R=0.99 (y=0.0219x+23.133), and the median effective dose found was 1226.8 mg/kg. The oral administration of 1226.8 mg/kg of OEO inhibited carrageenan-induced edema by 29.18% (p<0.05) when compared to the control group. The daily administration of OEO for six days inhibited the formation of granulomatous tissue by 36.66% (p<0.01). In ear erythema induced by croton oil, OEO presented a significant inhibition (37.9%). In the vascular permeability test, treatment with OEO decreased the response to histamine, inhibiting vascular permeability by 54.16%. In carrageenan-induced peritonitis, OEO reduced the number of neutrophils migrating compared to the control group by 80.14%. These results suggested that OEO has anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities, probably of peripheral origin and linked to prostaglandin biosynthesis inhibition.

(2012-02) VANDERLINDE, Frederico Argollo; ROCHA, Fabio Fagundes da; MALVAR, David do Carmo; FERREIRA, Raquel Teixeira; COSTA, Elson Alves; FLORENTINO, Iziara Ferreira; GUILHON, Giselle Maria Skelding Pinheiro; LIMA, Thereza Christina Monteiro de
Mikania lindleyana DC., Asteraceae (sucuriju), grows in the Amazon region, where is frequently used to treat pain, inflammatory diseases and scarring. This study was carried out to investigate phytochemical profile accompanied by in vivo antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory screening of n-hexane (HE), dichloromethane (DME) and methanol (ME) extracts obtained from the aerial parts of the plant. The oral administration of ME (0.1, 0.3, 1 g/kg) caused a dose-related reduction (16.2, 42.1 e 70.2%) of acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing while HE and DME (1 g/kg, p.o.) were ineffective. In the hot plate test, ME (300 mg/kg, p.o.) increased the latency of heat stimulus between 30 and 120 min and inhibited the first (45%) and second (60%) phases of nociception in the formalin test. The antinociception induced by ME or positive control fentanyl (150 µg/kg, s.c.) in hot plate and formalin tests was prevented by naloxone (3 mg/kg, s.c.). When submitted to the carrageenan-induced peritonitis test, ME (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 g/kg, p.o.) impaired leukocyte migration into the peritoneal cavity by 46.8, 59.4 and 64.8% respectively, while positive control dexamethasone (2 mg/kg, s.c.), inhibited leukocyte migration by 71.1%. These results indicate that the antinociception obtained after oral administration of methanol extract of M. lindleyana involves anti-inflammatory mechanisms accompanied with opioid-like activity which could explain the use of the specie for pain and inflammatory diseases.

Avaliação da atividade antinociceptiva e antiinflamatória do óleo essencial de Hyptis crenata (Pohl) ex Benth
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-11-07) BRAVIM, Luciana Silva; MAIA, José Guilherme Soares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1034534634988402; SOUSA, Pergentino José da Cunha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9909053957915090
Hyptis crenata (Pohl) ex Benth. is a herbaceous aromatic and medicinal plant, belongs to Lamiaceae, popularly known as salva-do-marajó, malva-do-marajó and hortelã-bravo. This plant is distributed since the mouth of Amazonas River, Marajó Island, Pantanal, and extending up to the states of Minas Gerais. Its essential oil is characterized by presence of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The leaf tea is used as sudorific, tonic, stimulant, as well as to treat the eyes and throat inflammation, constipation and arthritis. Based in these information, we decided to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of the oil (HcEO) of Hyptis crenata in mouse throught the following tests: abdominal constriction, hot plate, formalin, croton oil-induced ear edema, rat paw edema induced by dextran and carrageenan, carrageenan-induced peritonitis. The statistical method used in this study was ANOVA followed by multiple comparison (Student-Newman-Keuls test or Student t test). The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation, yield was 0,6% and their main components were monoterpenes (94,5%). The lethal dose (DL50) was 5000 mg/kg. In the abdominal constriction test, at doses of 250, 350 and 500 mg/kg, the HcEO inhibited the abdominal constrictions in 22,56%, 60,76% and 75,53%, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner when compared to the control group. The DE50 calculated was 364,22 mg/kg with a correlation coefficient of 0,9341. The oil not changed significantly the time of latency in the hot plate test. HcEO (364,22 mg/kg) caused an inhibition of the phase I in 26,42% and an inhibition of the phase II in 43,86% of the formalin test. Naloxone, an antagonist of opioid receptor, reverted the analgesic effect of EOHc. HcEO reduced croton oil-induced ear edema in 44,26%. In rat paw edema induced by dextran, HcEO produced inhibition at the dose of 364,22 mg/kg, but the rat paw edema induced by carrageenan this inhibition was not observed. In carrageenan-induced peritonitis, HcEo significantly decreased the leucocyte and neutrophil migration in 47,55% e 66,47%, respectively. Based on the results we are suggesting that the essential oil of H. crenata has an antinociceptive activity.It is probably as consequence of direct action on the nociceptive fiber, as well as the opioid system is involved in this effect. Further, our results suggest that anti-inflammatory activity of HcEO is probably of peripheral origin. It can be suggested, too, that the possible components responsible for these actions are the compounds monoterpenes presents in HcEO.

Avaliação in vitro dos efeitos genotóxicos e citotóxicos do fármaco dipirona sódica (Metamizol Sodium) em linhagem de rim de macaco verde africano (VERO)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10-27) GOMES, Lorena Monteiro; BAHIA, Marcelo de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3219037174956649
The dipyrone or metamizole belongs to the family of the pyrazolones. It is one of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory compounds (NSAIs) most used, Brazil included, mainly due to its low financial cost. However, in some countries the sale of dipyrone is prohibited due to reported severe cases of agranulocytosis as a result of its use. Despite its high usage, studies showing genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of dipyrone in mammalian cells are scarce. Therefore, in the present study we will assess cell viability, genotoxic effects, cytotoxic effects (by apoptosis and necrosis induction) and the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in VERO cells (a cell line obtained from red kidney of green monkey) exposed to dipyrone. Our results showed a significant reduction in viability of cells exposed to dipyrone by the MTT assay. A significant increase in damage index evaluated by comet assay was also observed, which indicate its genotoxic effects. In which concerns the cytotoxic effects of dipyrone, we observed a significant increase in the number of apoptotic cells using fluorescent dyes after 24h and 48 h of treatment with the drug. Ours results also showed that there was no significant difference in the induction of ROS generation after treatment of the cells with the drug assessed by the DCFH-DA technique. Thus, our work showed that dipyrone is both a genotoxic and cytotoxic drug to VERO cells in the assessed conditions.

Caracterização fitoquímica e avaliação da atividade anti-inflamatória e antinociceptiva do óleo fixo de Euterpe oleracea Mart.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) FAVACHO, Hugo Alexandre Silva; SOUSA, Pergentino José da Cunha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9909053957915090; CARVALHO, José Carlos Tavares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4251174810000113
Euterpe oleracea Mart. Is a typical palm tree from the Amazon, growing spontaneously in Pará and Amapá States, appreciated for its attractive beauty and for nutritional purposes. The fruit of Euterpe oleracea, commonly known as açaí, has been demonstrated to exhibit significantly high antioxidant capacity in vitro, and, therefore, may have possible health benefits. Phytochemical studies have revealed the presence of fatty acids, anthocyanins and steroids. The aim of this work was study the fatty oil of this species (OEO) on inflammatory and hyperalgesic models in vivo, in order to detect the possible involvement of its compounds on the inflammatory and algesic responses. The following experimental models were used: writing test in mouse, rat paw edema, granulomas testing rat, vascular permeability in rat, migration test in rats and ear erythema by croton oil in mice. The oral doses of 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/kg of OEO inhibited the number of writhes by 33,67%, 45,88% and 55,58%, respectively. The OEO produced dose-dependent effect, and the median effective dose (ED50) was 1226,8mg/kg, the OEO inhibited the inflammatory process by 29,18% on the 4 hour of the assay (edema peak) when compared to the untreated control. The daily administration of OEO for 6 days inhibited the granulomatous tissue formation in 36,66%. In the ear erythema by croton oil, the OEO, provoked the significant inhibitory effect of 37.9%. In the vascular permeability test, the OEO inhibited the vascular permeability in 54.5%. Pretreatment (60min) of rats with OEO significantly decreased neutrophil migration on carrageenan-induced peritonitis (with inhibition of 80.14%). The results suggest that OEO shows anti-inflammatory activity in both acute and chronic inflammatory processes, and analgesic activity, probably of peripheral origin.

Citoproteção do ácido kójico (AK) na morte induzida por LPS em células de Muller de retina de embrião de galinha
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-12-07) CARVALHO, Giselle Cristina Brasil; NASCIMENTO, José Luiz Martins do; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7216249286784978
5-Hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-γ-pyrone (AK), a known inhibitor of tyrosinase, an enzyme important for melanin synthesis and therefore used for pigmentation disorders. AK also promotes significant activation of macrophages and promotes cytoplasmic accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting its role as a potentiator of the immune system and microbicide. There is no work in literature that shows the action of AK in the central nervous system (CNS) as a cellular activator and its possible protective role against infections. To test this hypothesis, it use retinal Muller glia which have similar properties to those of macrophages. Therefore, the present work evaluates the action of AK as a possible protective role in LPS-induced cell death in culture of glial cells from chicken embryos. Cultures enriched with glial cells were treated with AK (10, 25, 50 and 100 μM) and LPS (0.1, 10, 100, and 500 ng / ml) for 24 hours. After treatment, the cells did not show AK-treated cytotoxicity; however, treated with LPS, cell death occurred in a dose-dependent manner. We verified the accumulation of EROs in groups treated with AK (100 μM) and LPS (100 and 500 ng / ml). Cultures co-treated with AK and LPS in the same concentrations there was a reduction of accumulation of EROs. AK was also able to inhibit the activity of antioxidant enzymes, (catalase and Superoxide dismutase) and glutathione levels, while LPS produces an increase in the activity of these antixodants. AK was able to inhibit the antioxidant enzymes and glutathione from the increase induced by LPS. These data show that AK promotes the modulation of oxidative and antioxidative balance as a possible protective mechanism in the cell death produced by LPS in Müller's Glia enriched cells.

Efeitos anti-inflamatórios e neuroprotetores do extrato de gergelim (Sesamum indicum L.) em um modelo experimental de lesão aguda da medula espinhal de ratos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-06-10) PENHA, Nelson Elias Abrahão da; LIMA, Rafael Rodrigues; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3512648574555468; LEAL, Walace Gomes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2085871005197072
The spinal cord is a component of central nervous system (CNS) with crucial functions for locomotion, motor skills, somatosensory and authonomic control. Spinal injuries are among the more serious and debilitating pathological conditions to human health with large worldwide. The use of experimental models of spinal cord injury (SCI) is pivotal to understandthe SCI pathophysiology as well as search for treatments to minimize the neurological deficits and improve functional recovery. In this work, we aimed to investigate the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of supercritical gergelim (Sesamum indicum L.) extract in the acute phase of SCI in adult rats. Male Adult rats were submitted to spinal cord (SC) hemissection at T8. The sham (non lesioned) and control animals were treated with 5% tween(veicle), while treated animals received intraperitoneal (i.p) injections of Gergelim extract (150 mg/kg divided in two doses per day). Animals were allowed to recovery and were perfused at 1, 3 and 7 days post-lesion. 20 μm sections were obtained using a cryostat and stained with methylen blue, hematoxylin-eosin (HE), trichromic of Gomori and cresyl violet for gross histopathology. In addition, sections were immunolabeled with specific antibodies against neutrophils (anti-MBS-1) and activated microglia/macrophages (anti-ED1). The muscle force was assessed through electromiographic records performed in both control and treated animals at 1 and 7 days postlesion. The control animals presented progressive SC cavitation concomitant with neutrophil recruitment and microglia/macrophage activation. The treatment with gergelim extract induced tissue preservation and considerable decrease of neutrophil recruitment at 1 and 3 days, which was confirmed by quantitative analysis (ANOVA-Tukey, p<0.05). The gergelim treatment also decreased the microglia/macrophage activation at 7 days (ANOVA-Tukey, p<0.05). The electromiographic records revealed that the gergelim treatment improved the muscular force in about 50% compared to control animals. The results suggest that black gergelim seed extract is anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and induces muscle force recovery in adults rats submitted to acute SCI. Future studies should confirm that a phytotherapic obtained from black sesame extract can be used as possible neuroprotective agent for human SCI.

Estudo da ação antinociceptiva e antiinflamátoria do 1-Nitro-2-Feniletano, principal constituinte da Aniba Canelilla
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-06-26) LIMA, Anderson Bentes de; MAIA, José Guilherme Soares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1034534634988402; SOUSA, Pergentino José da Cunha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9909053957915090
Aniba canellila is a large size tree found in Northern region of Brazil and largely used in folk medicine. The infusate of its leaves and bark skin is believed to be a good antispasmodic, antidiarreic, anti-inflammatory, tonic agent and a good stimulant of digestive and the central nervous systems. This study was designed to evaluate the effects 1-nitro-2-phenylethane, main component of Aniba canelilla. We evaluated the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of the 1-nitro-2-phenylethane which is the main component of essential oil of Aniba canelilla. For nociception models were designed the writhing test, hot plate test and formalin test. For inflammation models were designed the croton oil-induced ear edema, rat paw edema induced by carrageenan and dextran, and leucocyte and neutrophil migration on carrageenan-induced peritonitis. In the writhing test, the 1-nitro-2-phenylethane dosed at 15, 25 and 50 mg/kg reduced the abdominal writhes in a significant manner. In the hot plate test (55 ? 0.5? C), the 1-nitro-2-phenylethane dosed at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg did not induced alterations in the latency time when compared to the control. In the formalin test, the 1-nitro-2-phenylethane dosed at 50 and 25 mg/kg reduced in a significant manner the second phase of the algic stimulous. In addition, its antinociception was reversed by naloxone in the second phase. The 1-nitro2-phenyletahne produced inhibition of rat paw edema induced by carrageenan and dextran in a dose-dependent manner at the doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg. Doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg caused a dose-dependent inhibition of croton oil-induced ear edema in mice (with inhibition of 73% and 79%, respectively). Pretreatment (60 min) of rats with 1-nitro-2-phenylethane (25 mg/kg) significantly decreased leucocyte and neutrophil migration on carrageenan-induced peritonitis (with inhibition of 22,55% and 38,13%, respectively). Our results suggest that 1-nitro-2-phenylethane has analgesic activity which, according to the tests employed, is probably of peripheral origin. The mechanism involved is not completely understood, however these results suggest that opiod receptors are involved in the antinociceptive action of the 1-nitro-2-phenylethane. Further, our results suggest that 1-nitro-2-phenylethane has anti-inflammatory activity which, according to the tests employed, is probably of peripheral origin.

The acute toxicity (LD50) and the anti-inflammatory effect of the crude freeze-dried aqueous extract of the leaves of Bryophillumcalycinum Salisb. (EBALBc) was evaluated, on the rat paw edema induced by carrageenin and dextran. The dose of 500 mg/kg (p.o) inhibited the paw edema induced by dextran in a significative manner (p < 0.05, ANOVA, Student Newman-Keuls test) 60 and 90 minutes, after stimulus while only the oral dose of 1 g/kg of EBALBc inhibited the paw edema induced by carrageenin. The results indicated an anti-edematogenic effect of the extract when tested on the paw edema induced by dextran and carrageenin, suggesting larger specificity of action on the edema induced by dextran. The EBALBc administered orally, in the doses of the 0.1 to 8 g/kg, it did not cause death, making impossible to determine the LD50.

Evaluation of antinociceptive and antiinflammatory effects of Croton pullei var. glabrior Lanj. (Euphorbiaceae)
(2008-09) ROCHA, Fabio Fagundes da; NEVES, Evandro Manoel Neto; COSTA, Elson Alves; MATOS, Lécia Garcia de; MÜLLER, Adolfo Henrique; GUILHON, Giselle Maria Skelding Pinheiro; CORTES, Wellington da Silva; VANDERLINDE, Frederico Argollo
Croton pullei var. glabrior Lanj. (Euphorbiaceae) is a liana, vastly distributed in the Amazonian Forest. In the folk medicine, several plants of the Croton genus have been used with therapeutic purposes in pathologies that involve painful and inflammatory diseases which justify this work. The aim of this study was to investigate the antinociceptive and antiinflammatory activities of the C. pullei leaves methanol extract (MECP). MECP reduced in a dose-dependent manner the number of acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing (1.2%) in mice, suggesting an antinociceptive activity of the plant. On the other hand, MECP did not significantly modify the reactivity to the thermal stimulation in the hot-plate test and the reactivity to the chemical stimulation in the formalin test first phase, indicating a non-opioid mechanism. MECP reduced the formalin-induced nociception in the second phase, inhibited the croton oil-induced ear edema and reduced the leukocytes migration in the test of the carrageenan-induced peritonitis, indicating an antiinflammatory activity. Although the mechanisms that underlie these plant effects are not completely elucidated, these results appear to support the potential medicinal use of Croton pullei var. glabrior Lanj. against painful and inflammatory diseases.
