Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação do potencial citotóxico e genotóxico do piroxicam em linhagem VERO(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-08-08) MOYSÉS, Daniele de Araújo; BAHIA, Marcelo de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3219037174956649The Piroxicam is a NSAID that pharmacologically belongs to oxicam class and is indicated to treat various ailments such as rheumatoid arthritis, primary dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, among others. Its anti-inflammatory properties are well known and is related to its non-selective ability to reversible inhibition of COX, but it is known little about their cytotoxic activity and its effect on DNA. There are few data on the possible genotoxic effects of Piroxicam in mammalian cells. These effects can be monitored for the prevention and control of some adverse reactions and major side effects. This study was designed to investigate the possible genotoxic and cytotoxic induced in vitro by Piroxicam drug in kidney line of African green monkey (VERO). The viability of cells exposed to piroxicam was evaluated by MTT assay, cytotoxicity of piroxicam was verified by quantifying apoptosis and necrosis using fluorescent dyes (Hoechst, propidium iodide and fluorescein diacetate) and genotoxicity of piroxicam was evaluated by the comet assay. The results of the cell viability assay showed that Piroxicam reduces significantly (p <0.05) cell viability in the concentrations of 1.0 mM, 2.0 mM, 4.0 mM and 8.0 mM. It is also noted that piroxicam induced significant killing (p <0.01) by apoptosis in all concentrations tested, both as to 24h treatment 48h. In the case of the comet assay, there was no damage to the DNA in any concentration tested. The data support the idea that piroxicam has a cytotoxic activity, but has no genotoxic potential in the tested conditions.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) 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/3219037174956649The 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.
