Title in Portuguese
Transformações microbianas e avaliação da citotoxicidade de lactonas sesquiterpênicas de 'Viguiera robusta' Gardn. (Asteraceae)
Keywords in Portuguese

Lactonas sesquiterpênicas
Transformações microbianas
Abstract in Portuguese
O processo de transformação microbiana de metabólitos secundários é uma técnica emergente no Brasil e que apresenta enorme potencial para obtenção de substâncias biotransformadas com novas e diferentes moléculas, as quais podem apresentar melhor desempenho de suas atividades biológicas. O objetivo do presente projeto foi efetuar transformações microbianas de metabólitos secundários oriundos da espécie vegetal Viguiera robusta Gardn. (família Asteraceae), com ênfase nas lactonas sesquiterpênicas (LSTs), para posterior avaliação de sua citotoxicidade frente a linhagens celulares. As etapas de isolamento e purificação de LSTs foram realizadas através de métodos cromatográficos e a elucidação estrutural através de métodos espectroscópicos. A avaliação da atividade citotóxica dos metabólitos biotransformados foi proposta em virtude de estudos iniciais indicarem potencial citotóxico da LST budleína A frente às linhagens SK-BR-3 (adenocarcinoma de mama) e células leucêmicas JURKAT.

Abstract in English
The microbial transformation of secondary metabolites is an emerging technique in Brazil with high potential to obtain biotransformed compounds with new and different molecules which can show enhanced biological activities. Herein, microbial transformations of secondary metabolites from Viguiera robusta Gardn. (family Asteraceae), with emphasis in sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), were proposed with the aim to evaluate their cytotoxic activity against tumor cells lines. Isolation and purification of STLs were carried out through chromatographic methods and structural elucidation by spectroscopic methods. The evaluation of cytotoxic activity of the biotransformed metabolites was proposed due to the fact that previous studies indicated potential cytotoxic activity of the STLs budlein A against SK-BR-3 and JURKAT cells lines.
