Abstract in Portuguese
Estudos fitoquímicos em geral são realizados com indivíduos adultos visando isolar e caracterizar substâncias em quantidade para testes de atividade biológica e por isso, há poucos estudos de metabólitos secundários em estágios iniciais do desenvolvimento das plantas. Assim, o trabalho foi realizado com objetivo de analisar o perfil de metabolitos secundários ao longo da ontogenia de espécies do gênero Piper. Os extratos brutos de plântulas e plantas adultas de diversas espécies de Piper foram analisados por técnicas cromatográficas, espectrométricas e espectroscópicas (RMN de 1H, CLAE-UV-EM, CG-EM). Os dados submetidos à análise de componentes principais (PCA) revelaram três grupos, sendo que no primeiro grupo contendo amidas (P. tuberculatum, P. amalago e P. reticulatum) não foi observada diferença significativa no perfil químico nos diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento. No segundo grupo (P. gaudichaudianum, P. solmsianum, P. regnellii, P. caldense e P. hemmendorfii) foi observado o acúmulo de alilfenois nas folhas das plântulas contrastando com as folhas adultas que produziam lignanas, neolignanas ou ácidos benzóicos prenilados. No terceiro grupo (P. richardiaefolium e P. permucronatum) observou-se o predomínio de amidas nas folhas das plântulas enquanto que lignanas ou flavonoides constituem-se nos metabólitos predominantes no estágio adulto. A diferenciação observada na produção de metabólitos secundários ao longo da ontogenia fornece indícios de possíveis estratégias de defesa contra fitopatógenos ou herbívoros.

Abstract in English
Phytochemical studies are usually carried out with adult plants for isolation and characterization of compounds in large amounts especially when bioactivity is involved and thus remarkably little is known about the production of secondary metabolites in Piper species at early developmental stages. Therefore, this study was carried out in order to describe the secondary metabolites profile of plants during the ontogeny of the Piper species. Crude extracts from seedlings and adult plants of several Piper species were analyzed by chromatographic, spectrometric and spectroscopic techniques (1H NMR, HPLC-DAD-MS, GC-MS). The analysis with the aid of principal component analysis (PCA) revealed three groups: the first group containing amides (P. tuberculatum, P. amalago and P. reticulatum) no significant differences were observed in the chemical profile at different developmental stages. In the second group (P. gaudichaudianum, P. solmsianum, P. regnellii, P. caldense and P. hemmendorfii) allylphenols were detected as major compounds in the seedling leaves while adult leaves contained lignans, neolignans or prenylated benzoic acids. Additionally, in a third group (P. richardiaefolium and P. permucronatum) amides were observed as major compounds in the seedling leaves instead of lignans or flavonoids found in the adult leaves. The differentiation observed in the secondary metabolite production suggests a plant defensive strategy against phytopathogens and herbivores.
