Title in Portuguese
Smallanthus sonchifolius (Asteraceae): estudo fitoquímico, controle de qualidade e ensaios biológicos.
Keywords in Portuguese
enidrina

processo inflamatório
Abstract in Portuguese
Esta tese de doutorado aborda alguns aspectos do estudo de plantas medicinais e de princípios ativos naturais. Os procedimentos experimentais incluíram o estudo fitoquímico de uma planta medicinal da família Asteraceae, o desenvolvimento de um método analítico com validação das análises empregadas e o estudo de atividades biológicas relativas ao processo inflamatório. A primeira etapa compreendeu o estudo fitoquímico da planta medicinal Smallanthus sonchifolius (Asteraceae), envolvendo o isolamento de metabólitos secundários da classe dos terpenóides. Do extrato de lavagem foliar foram isoladas as seguintes lactonas sesquiterpênicas (LSTs): enidrina, uvedalina, sonchifolina, fluctuanina, polimatina B, (1Z,4E)-8β-metacriloilóxi-9α-acetoilóxi-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olido-14-oato de metila, (1Z,4E)-8β-angeloilóxi-14-oxo-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olido, (1Z,4E)-8β-metacriloilóxi-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olido-14-oato de metila, ácido (1Z,4E)-8β-angeloilóxi-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olido-14-óico e (1Z)-3α,4β-epóxi-8β-[(1Z,4E)-(2S,3R)-2-hidróxi-3-óxi-(8β-angeloilóxi-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olido)]-9α-acetoilóxi-germacra-1(10),11(13)-dien-6α,12-olido-14-oato de metila. A segunda etapa tratou do desenvolvimento de método e validação das análises para controle de qualidade químico de S. sonchifolius em cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE). Além disso, foi realizada a quantificação do principal metabólito secundário isolado nos extratos glandulares e de lavagem foliar, a LST enidrina. Esta substância compõe 0,97 % do peso seco das folhas de S. sonchifolius. A terceira etapa refere-se às atividades biológicas, as quais foram avaliadas empregando-se diversos ensaios. Também foi realizada a otimização de método para avaliação da secreção de elastase por neutrófilos humanos e o estudo da estimulação basal de neutrófilos. Ainda foram investigados os efeitos de produtos fitoterápicos, como gel de Arnica montana e extrato de Harpagophytum procumbens, e de metabólitos secundários, como LSTs e alcalóides, na atividade enzimática de elastase, na secreção de elastase por neutrófilos, na ativação do fator de transcrição NF-κB via EMSA, na produção de luciferase por meio de reporter gen assay e de interleucina-8 via ELISA. Com exceção de dois alcalóides, todas as substâncias e produtos testados apresentaram atividades de inibição dos processos inflamatórios investigados.

Abstract in English
This Ph.D. thesis deals with some aspects of the study of medicinal plants and their biologically active natural compounds. The experimental procedures comprised the phytochemical study of a plant from the family Asteraceae, the development of an analytical method with validation of the employed analysis and the study of the biological activities related to the inflammatory process. The first step comprised the phytochemical study of the medicinal plant Smallanthus sonchifolius (Asteraceae) and the isolation of secondary metabolites. From the leaf rinse extract were isolated the sesquiterpene lactones (STLs) enhydrin, uvedalin, sonchifolin, fluctuanin, polymatin B, methyl (1Z,4E)-8β-metacryloyloxy-9α-acetoyloxy-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olide-14-ate, (1Z,4E)-8β-angeloyloxy-14-oxo-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olide, methyl (1Z,4E)-8β-metacryloyloxy-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olide-14-ate, (1Z,4E)-8β-angeloyloxy-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olide-14-oic acid, methyl (1Z)-3α,4β-epoxy-8β-[(1Z,4E)-(2S,3R)-2-hydroxy-3-oxy-(8β-angeloyloxy-germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-6α,12-olide)]-9α-acetoyloxy-germacra-1(10),11(13)-dien-6α,12-olide-14-ate. The second part was related to the development and validation of a chromatographic method for the chemical quality control of S. sonchifolius using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, the quantification of the main secondary metabolite, the STL enhydrin on glandular and leaf rinse extracts was also performed. This compound comprises 0,97 % of dried leaves weight of the plant. The third part deals with biological activities, which were investigated through different assays. One method for the study of the elastase release from human neutrophils was evaluated and the basal stimulation of neutrophils was studied. The effects of phytoterapeutic agents, like Arnica montana gel and Harpagophytum procumbens extract, and of the secondary metabolites, like LSTs and alkaloids, on the enzymatic activity of elastase, on elastase release from neutrophils, on the activation of the transcription factor NF-κB through EMSA, on luciferase production through reporter gene assay and on interleucina-8 production through ELISA were also carried out. Both phytoterapeutic agents as well as the great majority of the tested compounds showed some inhibitory activity over the investigated inflammatory processes.
