The leprosy is an infectious disease that represents a major preoccupation in global public health in 21st century. The treatment with Multi Drug Therapy (MDT) approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) is the best treatment to Mycobacterim leprae infection; however, is one of the factors of increasing Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production and the development of methemoglobinemia and hemolytic anemia in these patients. The aim of this study was to verify the oxidative damage in leprosy patients receiving MDT, by evaluation of hematological and oxidative stress biomarkers, and identify the effects of in vitro treatment with antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and resveratrol (RSV) in antioxidant enzymes activity and prevention of methemoglobinemia. The results revealed a decrease in RBC count and reticulocytosis in patients receiving MDT during the 4th and 7th month of treatment. The percentual of methemoglobin increased since the fifth month of treatment with MDT, and the treatment with 100 μM RSV-treated and ALA-treated preserved the values similar to control group only in 4th to 6th month of MDT samples. The leprosy patients presented values of SOD activity similar to the control group and a decreased CAT activity, leading to an inbalance in the ratio of both enzymes and possibly resulting in an over-producing of H2O2. The treatment with RSV and ALA in 100 μM and 500 μM concentrations increases twice the SOD activity in 4th month patient samples; however, these concentrations did not change CAT and SOD activities found in leprosy patients. Such results demonstrate that RSV and ALA did not show antioxidant activity in installed oxidative stress, and subsequent studies are necessary to evaluate dose-dependent and time-dependent concentrations of RSV and ALA to prevent oxidative damage in chronic infectious diseases.

Métodos teóricos na investigação da estrutura eletrônica do resveratrol e derivados

In this work we report na ab initio, density functional and a semiempirical investigation of the ground and vertical excited states and of the spectroscopic properties of resveratrol, a phytoalexin with known antioxidative properties, and of structurally related derivatives as piceatannol, paravinylphenylphenol and resveratrol-dihydroxyl_N (N=1,2 and 3). The results of the simulation of bond length resulting from the photoexcitation and of the corresponding theoretical spectra gives us new insight of how chemical modifications of these molecules could affect the possible physiological properties of resveratrol. Also we report new molecules (piceatannol and resveratrol-dihydroxyl_3) as antioxidative properties by the analysis of molecular parameters and electronic properties.
