Abstract in Portuguese
O presente trabalho visou a avaliação do potencial antifúngico de extratos brutos das diferentes partes do vegetal (folha, caule e raiz) de espécies de Piperaceae, os quais foram submetidos ao ensaio de bioautografia frente aos fungos Cladosporium cladosporioides e Cladosporium sphaerospermum. Após a triagem biológica, os extratos brutos das espécies Piper mollicomum, Piper marginatum, Peperomia alata e Peperomia glabella foram selecionados para etapas posteriores de fracionamento e purificação, utilizando-se técnicas cromatográficas. O estudo fitoquímico biomonitorado das espécies selecionadas identificou como metabólitos ativos dois cromenos e uma di-hidrochalcona; duas flavanonas e três fenilpropanóides, sendo um de estrutura inédita, denominado marginatumol; dois policetídeos inéditos, alatanona A e alatanona B; quatro acilresorcinóis e quatro secolignanas, incluindo a peperomina G inédita. Todos os metabólitos isolados apresentaram potencial atividade antifúngica, sendo os policetídeos alatanona A e alatanona B os mais ativos, com atividade superior às substâncias controle (nistatina e miconazol). Assim, os dados obtidos neste estudo permitiram descrever diferentes classes de produtos naturais a partir de uma coleção de extratos de espécies de Piperaceae, com potencial para estudos de relações estrutura-atividade.

Abstract in English
The present study was addressed to evaluate the antifungal activity of crude extracts from Piperaceae species in which different parts of the plant (leaves, stems and roots) were assessed by means of bioautography against Cladosporium cladosporioides and Cladosporium sphaerospermum. After antifungal assay, the extratcs from Piper mollicomum, Piper marginatum, Peperomia alata and Peperomia glabella displayed higher growth inhibitory potency and thus were selected for further fractionation and purification using chromatographic techniques. Such dereplication using the bioautographic assay yielded two chromenes and one dihydrochalcone; two flavanones and three phenylpropanoids, including the novel compound marginatumol; two new polyketides, alatanone A and alatanone B; four acylresorcinols and four secolignans, including the novel peperomin G, respectively. The bioautography indicated potential antifungal activity for all isolated metabolites and compounds alatanone A and alatanone B were found the most active in comparison to positive controls (nystatin and miconazole). The bioprospecting approach was proven to be very effective when the isolation of bioactive compounds from a collection of crude extracts is concerned, although not necessarily unraveling the major biosynthetic pathways in each plant species.
