Dapsone used in leprosy therapy its metabolite dapsone-hydroxylamine are potent pro-oxidant agents that cause acquired methemoglobinemia. For the treatment of this disease is used as antidote the Methylene Blue, however in high doses this antidote becomes pro-oxidant. In this sense, antioxidant substances may be potential alternatives to methylene blue for the treatment of methemoglobinemia. In this study we investigated the effect of antioxidants Ebselen, N-acetylcysteine, R-lipoic acid and L-lipoic acid on oxidative damage induced by dapsone-hydroxylamine in human erythrocytes, in vitro. Our results demonstrated that pre-treatment with antioxidants Ebselen, N-acetylcysteine, R-lipoic acid and S-lipoic acid prevented the formation of methemoglobin, reduction of glutathione and lipid peroxidation induced by the metabolite dapsone-hydroxylamine in human erythrocytes, In vitro. These substances were able to increase the antioxidant capacity of the erythrocyte associated with increased concentration of glutathione. Thus, antioxidants acted to reduce the oxidation of hemoglobin and / or directly or indirectly impeded the action of the metabolite dapsone-hydroxylamine. Our results indicate that the antioxidants tested can protect erythrocytes against oxidative damage under experimental conditions, suggesting that antioxidants may serve as the most effective and safe antidote in the treatment of methemoglobinemia.

In this work three differente aluminosilicates were used for evaluation of the index of recovery of the coloring monovalent metilene blue. The no-porous clay mineral, Kaolinite, from Capim river area in Pará, Brazil, was treated with hydrochloric acid 5N in order to increase the specific area. The microporous molecular sieve, zeolite NaP, was synthesized through the hidrotermal method, with the kaolinite of Capim river area being used as source of Si and Al. The hidrotermal method was also used for the synthesis of the mesoporous molecular sieve Al-MCM-48, wich received thermal treatment (calcination) at 540ºC under flow of N2 and air for 7h to removal of the agent director (surfactant). The porous and no-porous materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrophotometry, thermodifferential and termogravimetric analyses and adsorption and desorption methods with N2. Chemical analysis for the clay mineral has been performed and scanning electronic microscopy was used for the microporous aluminosilicate. These materials were tested as adsorbents in the recovery of the metilene blue at concentration of 6ppm, in different times (20, 40, 60 and 120min) with the contact method being used. The concentration, separation method of phases and the more appropriate wave length were studied. The determination of the recovery index for the organic coloring, using the three materials, was performed through visible spectrophotometry. XRD and chemical analysis results revealed the high purity of the clay mineral kaolinite. The specific surface area increased by 31,23% after acid activation. The specific area obtained for Al-MCM-48, was of 1219m2g-1, which is a characteristic value for this kind of materials. The results of XRD indicate that the zeolita NaP was formed, but traces of the feldspatoid hidroxysodalite are also present, what could be confirmed by the SEM images. The values of the recovery index for the metilene blue demonstrated that the kaolinite under acid activation was the most effective (100% of recovery), followed by the zeolite NaP (97,89% of recovery) and Al-MCM-48 (97,35% of recovery). The results indicate the viability of use of these materials as agents for pre-concentration in cromatographic analyses.
