Abstract in Portuguese
A espécie vegetal Piper solmsianum (Piperaceae) é um arbusto que ocorre tanto na Mata Atlântica do Brasil quanto na Amazônia. O estudo fitoquímico aqui apresentado descreve o acúmulo dos fenilpropanóides isoelemicina, elemicina, apiol, dilapiol, mirisiticina e lignanas tetraidrofurânicas na planta adulta. Contudo, suas plântulas cultivadas e micropropagadas, com idade inferior a 9 meses, acumulam apenas fenilpropanóides. Entre as lignanas tetraidrofurânicas, a grandisina é o principal produto natural e possui potente atividade contra formas tripomastigotas de Trypanossoma cruzii, o parasita causador da Doença de Chagas. O aminoácido fenilalanina radioisotopicamente marcado é convertido nas lignanas tetraidrofurânicas. A atividade específica da enzima fenilalanina amônialiase, que converte a fenilalanina em ácido cinâmico, é dez vezes maior em plantas adultas que em plântulas. A etapa de acoplamento oxidativo que leva à formação das lignanas tetraidrofurânicas em P. solmsianum foi investigada através do E-5-metóxiisoeugenol radioisotopicamente marcado preparado por meio de uma reação de Wittig. Observou-se um acoplamento estereosseletivo e enantioespecífico formando a (-)-di-O-4,4'-desmetilgrandisina, o precursor direto da (-)-grandisina, através do uso de preparações enzimáticas. A enzima capaz de converter o fenilpropanóide em dímero faz parte do citocromo P-450 encontrado nos microssomos celulares e é dependente de H2O2 e NADPH. Estes dados corroboram a hipótese de que os dímeros encontrados em P. solmsianum podem ser classificados como neolignanas, uma vez que são formados pelo acoplamento oxidativo de um fenilpropanóide não oxigenado na posição 9.

Abstract in English
Piper solmsianum (Piperaceae) is a shrubb tree which occurs in both Atlantic and Rain Forests from Brazil. The phytochemical study of this species showed the accumulation of the phenylpropanoids isoelemicin, elemicin, apiol, dillapiol and myristicin and also tetrahydrofuran lignans in the adult plant. However, its cultivated and germinated seedlings of ages under 9 months accumulate phenylpropanoids only. The radioisotopically labelled aminnoacid phenylalanine is converted into tetrahydrofuran lignans. Specific activity of this enzyme, which converts phenylalanine into cinnamic acid, is ten-fold higher to adult plants than to seedlings. The oxidative coupling step which leads to the formation of the tetrahydrofuran lignans in P. Solmsianum was investigated by reaction of the isotopically labeled substrate E-5-methoxy-isoeugenol, obtained by means of a Wittig reaction, with enzyme preparations. It was observed a stereoslective and enantioespecific oxidative coupling affording (-)-di-O-4,4'-demethyl grandisin, which is the direct precursor of (-)-grandisin. The enzyme which is able to convert the phenylpropanoid into dimer is part of cytochrome P-450 system, found in cell microssomes. This enzyme is NADPH and H2O2-dependent. These data confirm the hypothesis that these dimers found in P. Solmsianum are neolignans since they are formed by the coupling of two phenylpropanoids non-oxygenated in C-9.
