Sepsis is an organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated immune response to an infection, the initial therapeutic approach to sepsis are broad spectrum antimicrobials, which is not sufficient for control of infection, requiring association with other therapies. Thus, Ilex paraguariensis where to be a potent antimicrobial, antioxidant and Agaricus brasiliensis has immunomodulatory properties could be a new source of therapy. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect, antioxidant and immunomodulatory in vitro and in vivo of the extracts. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the in vitro antimicrobial activity of aqueous extracts from A.brasiliensis and I. paraguariensis against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by the method of microdilution and by spectophotometry for determination of minimum inhibitory concentration and cultivation technique on petri dish for minimum bactericidal concentration, cytotoxicity in macrophages was evaluated, nitric oxide (NO) production, proliferation, phagocytosis, equivalent antioxidant capacity to Trolox (TEAC) and determination of the total antioxidant activity by capturing the free radical and reactive species production oxygen (ROS). In the swiss mice with induced sepsis were pretreated with aqueous extracts of A.brasiliensis and I. paraguariensis, after 12 and 24 hours collected their samples and evaluated the survival, leukocyte migration, hemogram, bacterial load, NO production, malondialdehyde (MDA), TEAC and ex vivo we evaluated phagocytic capacity and release of ROS. The A.brasiliensis showed no antimicrobial activity in vitro, remained viable cells reduced the phagocytic capacity, increased NO, but in the presence of LPS reduced, showed proliferative effect, but in the presence of mitogen had antiproliferative effect and has a strong antioxidant activity and capacity to sequester radicals in vitro. I.paraguariensis presented antimicrobial activity as well as cytotoxic effect induced phagocytic capacity increased NO, but in the presence of LPS reduced, had proliferative effect, antioxidant activity and capacity to sequester radicals in vitro. In vivo model of sepsis, both increased the survival of animals, A.brasiliensis reduced leukocyte influx while Ilex increased, only A.brasiliensis had hemogram similar to sham, both extracts reduced bacterial load and levels decreased NO, MDA and increased antioxidant levels in the tissues, in addition, both reduced the production of both extracts present ERO. Although excellent in vitro results, the aqueous extract from A.brasiliensis was found to be most promising as an adjuvant therapy in sepsis that I. paraguariensis due to its high antimicrobial activity, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in vivo.
