Title in Portuguese
Síntese de derivados do fator de agregação plaquetária imobilizados em resina e identificação do correspondente receptor em Trypanosoma Cruzi
Keywords in Portuguese
Doença de Chagas
PAF
Trypanosoma cruzi
Abstract in Portuguese
Buscando sintetizar análogos de PAF imobilizados em resina para isolamento dos correspondentes receptores T. cruzi, foi adotada uma estratégia de síntese convergente que implicava no acoplamento à resina de uma cadeia hidrofóbica análoga à presente no fosfolipídio. Através de modificação sequencial do reagente comercial D-Manitol para sua ligação à resina, os análogos seriam sintetizados em um total de 12 etapas. Após a obtenção com sucesso do primeiro intermediário e de dificuldades na obtenção do segundo intermediário, a preparação de derivados de PAF a partir de D-Manitol foi abandonada já que revisão da literatura demonstrou ser possível a síntese destes mesmos análogos em apenas cinco etapas. A nova rota sintética adotada teve como ponto de partida a fosfatidilcolina extraída de gemas de ovos e, através desta nova abordagem, foram sintetizados com sucesso três intermediários. Devido a dificuldades na adaptação de protocolos sintéticos clássicos a compostos carregados como os fosfolipídios, não foi possível a obtenção dos derivados de PAF inicialmente propostos. Os estudos de bioinformática, os quais visaram localizar a sequencia deste provável receptor de PAF no proteoma do parasita, sugerem a existência de proteínas com características de receptores de membrana acoplados à proteína G (GPCRs) e entre estas, possivelmente receptores de PAF a serem explorados na terapia da doença de Chagas.

Resin-immobilized synthesis of platelet agregation factor analogs and identification of Trypanosoma cruzi correlative receptor

Abstract in English
In order to synthesize resin-immobilized PAF analogs to further promote the isolation of the T.cruzi correlative receptor, we adopted a convergent synthesis strategy. The strategy implied the coupling between the resin and a hydrophobic chain resembling PAF, in which resin-immobilized PAF analogs would be synthesized by means of sequencial 12 step modification of commercially available reagent D-manitol. Despite successful achievement of the first intermediary, the synthesis of the second intermediary was accompanied by difficulties which led to an extensive literature review and subsequent change of synthetic route. The preffered route was a 5 step approach with egg phosphatidilcholine as the starting material, which rendered the successful synthesis of three intermediates. However, due to difficulties to adapt classical synthetic protocols to charged compounds as phospholipids, we could not obtain the initially proposed PAF analogs. Bioinformatic studies were conducted in order to locate the aminoacid sequence of the probable PAF receptor in T.cruzi proteome. Our data suggest the existence of a receptor resembling G protein coupled membrane receptors (GPCRs), which probably include PAF receptors, which, in turn, might be a potential target to the treatment of Chagas disease.
