Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/10548The aim of this study was to perform pharmacognostic, phytochemical and antiplasmodial studies on Aspidosperma eteanum Markgr. The pharmacognostic study to assess granulometry data, pH, foam index, ash and moisture content were peformed according to the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia, V ed. The ethanolic extract (EEAE) was obtained by exhaustive maceration with ethanol (96°GL) and concentrated by rotavaporator. Then, it was subjected to acid-base extraction that resulted in FNAE and FAAE fractions, reflow extraction (FrHex, FrDcm, FrAcOET and FrMeOH), sugar removal partition (FrLADcm and FrLMeOH) and silica column chromatography (Fr38, FR3 and FR6). The EEAE and fractions were submitted to phytochemical prospection. The EEAE, FrHex, FrDcm, FrACoEt, FrMeOH and Fr38 also underwent to HPLC-DAD and the EEAE, FrMeOH, FAAE, FrLADcm and Fr38 were analyzed by 1H NMR. The EEAE, FrHex, FrDoC, FrACoEt, FrMeOH, FAAE, FNAE, FLADcm and FLAMeOH fractions were selected for antiplasmodial evaluation in W2 clones of Plasmodium falciparum by microtest. The pharmacognostic results are in accordance with the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia V ed. (2010) standards. The ethanolic extract yielded 5.92%. Among the fractions obtained under reflux, FrMeOH had the highest yield (93.59%) and FNAE and FAAE fractions of 3.0% and 1.3% respectively. In the phytochemical prospection, only FAAE was positive for alkaloids, but resonance analysis suggested it had fatty acids. The results obtained in CLAE-DAD revealed a high polarity substance in EEAE, FrHex, FrDcm, FrAcOET and FrMeOH and the presence of alkaloids in low concentrations in the FR3 fraction. The 1H NMR of the EEAE and FrMeOH showed suggestive signs of sugars. The FrLAPDc presented a suggestive signal of substances derived from carboxylic acids. The Fr38 fraction (yield = 8%), which presented crystals, showed signs suggestive of a methyl ester. In the antiplasmodial evaluation, the EEAE was inactive with IC50 higher than 50 μg/mL. Among the fractionation methods, the FrHex, FrDcm, FrACoEt, FrMeOH and FNAE fractions with medium and low polarity were moderately active. Only the FAAE and FLADcm fractions were active with IC50 = 7.6 μg/mL and IC50 = 1.91 μg/mL respectively. Therefore, the antiplasmodial evaluation of Aspidosperma eteanum demonstrated that the fractionation increased the biological activity being the fractions of low and medium polarity the most active. Phytochemical studies showed that alkaloids may be present in the plant but at low concentrations, and that sugars and fatty compounds are probably the extract major constituents. When correlating the phytochemical and biological studies it is possible to perceive that the substance(s) responsible for the antiplasmodial activity is directly related to fractions of lower polarity and can be fatty compounds such as the methyl ester detected in this study.Acesso AbertoAspidosperma eteanumEstudo farmacognósticoFitoquímicoAtividade antiplasmódicaDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::FARMACIA::ANALISE E CONTROLE E MEDICAMENTOSAVALIAÇÃO BIOLÓGICA DE PRINCÍPIOS ATIVOS, NATURAIS E SINTÉTICOSFÁRMACOS E MEDICAMENTOS
