Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Abstract Hesperidin is a natural compound which is found in citric fruits and presents antitumor and antimicrobial activities. However, the in vivo efficacy of Hesperidin is reduced due to its low oral bioavailability. Protein-based nanoparticles have been applied to improve biological parameters of drugs and natural compounds. Gliadin is a monomeric protein present in wheat. In this study, gliadin-based nanoparticles containing hesperidin were obtained by desolvation technique and a Taguchi orthogonal array design was employed to optimize the formulation. The independent variables were set as concentration of CaCl2 (0.5; 1 or 2%) and stabilizing agent (Pluronic F68, Tween 80 or sodium caseinate). The dependent variables consisted of mean diameter, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency. The results showed significant effects on the dependent variables when 1% CaCl2 and Pluronic F68 were used. The optimized formulation was coated with chitosan to increase the physical stability of the nanoparticles. The final nanoparticles presented a mean diameter of 321 nm and polydispersity index of 0.217, and spherical shape. After coating, the Zeta potential was +21 mV, and the encapsulation efficiency was 73 %. The in vitro release assay showed that about 98% of the drug was released from the nanoparticles after 48 h. Moreover, the nanoparticles reduced hesperidin cytotoxicity on healthy cells (Vero cells) and improved the cytotoxicity on tumor cells (HeLa, PC-3 and Caco-2 cells). Results showed that the chitosan-coated gliadin nanoparticles are potential carriers for hesperidin delivery for cancer treatment.

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is the largest pandemic in modern history with very high infection rates and considerable mortality. The disease, which emerged in China’s Wuhan province, had its first reported case on December 29, 2019, and spread rapidly worldwide. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and global health emergency. Since the outbreak, efforts to develop COVID-19 vaccines, engineer new drugs, and evaluate existing ones for drug repurposing have been intensively undertaken to find ways to control this pandemic. COVID-19 therapeutic strategies aim to impair molecular pathways involved in the virus entrance and replication or interfere in the patients’ overreaction and immunopathology. Moreover, nanotechnology could be an approach to boost the activity of new drugs. Several COVID-19 vaccine candidates have received emergency-use or full authorization in one or more countries, and others are being developed and tested. This review assesses the different strategies currently proposed to control COVID-19 and the issues or limitations imposed on some approaches by the human and viral genetic variability.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Rutin is a flavonoid compound obtained from different vegetables and fruits; specifically, it is found in the seeds of buckwheat and in fruit peels, particularly citrus. It is also an important constituent of red wine. Rutin exhibits various biological properties including antiviral, vasoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic activities. However, its antioxidant activity is the most well studied. Despite the potential for in vitro applications, rutin presents low oral bioavailability that affects its biological activities. Nanoparticles composed of polymers, protein, or lipids are of great importance in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical areas due to their physicochemical properties, which improve the pharmacokinetics of the drug which is loaded within. This study presents the production of bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles containing rutin by nano spray drying. Nanoparticles were characterized in terms of mean particle size, size distribution, morphology, zeta potential, and drug content; as well as their antioxidant activity. The optimized spray-drying conditions produced spherical particles with a mean size of 316 nm, zeta potential of −32 mV, and encapsulation efficiency around 32%. Moreover, when antioxidant activity toward the ABTS+ radical was assayed, nanoencapsulation increased the IC50 of rutin by 2-fold. The nano spray-drying process proved to be suitable for the production of rutin-loaded BSA nanoparticles with potential antioxidant activity.

Resumo Este estudo objetivou caracterizar compostos bioativos e atividade antirradicalar em farinhas de bagaços de uvas das cultivares Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc e Sangiovese (Vitis vinifera), desidratados em estufa de circulação de ar a 45 °C ou liofilizador a vácuo. Foram analisados compostos fenólicos totais e individuais, antocianinas monoméricas e atividade antirradicalar pelos métodos ABTS e HOCl. A perda total de antocianinas monoméricas foi maior para as cultivares Cabernet Sauvignon e Sangiovese, pelo método de desidratação em estufa. Todas as cultivares liofilizadas preservaram índices estatisticamente superiores de compostos fenólicos totais, com superioridade para a cultivar Sauvignon Blanc. Na análise individual destes compostos, as amostras liofilizadas tiveram maiores teores médios de todos os flavonoides (epicatequina, catequina, quercetina, ácido vanílico, rutina), enquanto que os ácidos gálico, cafeico e ferrúlico, aparentemente, não foram influenciados pelo método de secagem. Todas as amostras desidratadas em estufa tiveram menor capacidade de inibição dos radicais livres em relação às amostras liofilizadas, por ambos os métodos de IC50. O método ABTS apresentou os melhores resultados para as amostras liofilizadas, ou seja, quantidades menores das farinhas foram capazes de inibir em pelo menos 50% a atividade dos radicais livres ABTS e HOCl, com destaque para a cultivar Merlot.

Abstract This study aimed to characterize the bioactive compounds and antiradical activity in grape pomace flours from the cultivars Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Sangiovese (Vitis vinifera), dehydrated either in an air circulation oven at 45 °C or a vacuum freeze dryer. The total and individual phenolic compounds, monomeric anthocyanins and antiradical activity were analysed by the ABTS and HOCl methods. The total loss of monomeric anthocyanins was higher for the cultivars Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese dehydrated in the air circulation oven. All the freeze dried cultivars preserved a statistically higher index for the total phenolic compounds, the highest being the cultivar Sauvignon Blanc. In the individual analysis of these compounds the freeze dried samples showed higher average levels of all the flavonoids (epicatechin, catechin, quercetin, vanillic acid, rutin), whereas gallic, caffeic and ferulic acids were apparently not influenced by the drying method. All the samples dehydrated in the oven showed less free radical inhibition capacity than the freeze dried samples as determined by both IC50 methods. The ABTS method presented the best results for the freeze dried samples, that is, smaller amounts of the flours were able to inhibit at least 50% of the ABTS and HOCl free radical activities, with emphasis on the Merlot cultivar.

ABSTRACT The development and validation of a simple and efficient method for the quantification of ferulic acid in poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles coated with chitosan (CS) by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled to photodiode array detection was described. For the chromatographic analysis, a reverse phase C-18 column was used, mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.5% acetic acid (37:63, v/v), isocratically eluted at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Drug determination was performed at 320 nm. The method was validated in terms of the selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, limits of detection and quantification. The method was linear in the range of 10 to 100 μg/mL (r=0.999) and presented limit of detection and quantification of 102 ng/mL and 310 ng/mL, respectively. The method was precise (intra and inter-day) based on relative standard deviation values (less than 3.20%). The recovery was between 101.06 and 102.10%. Robustness was demonstrated considering change in mobile phase proportion. Specificity assay showed no interference from the components of nanoparticles or from the degradation products derived from acidic and oxidative conditions. The proposed method was suitable to be applied in determining the encapsulation efficiency of ferulic acid in PLGA-CS nanoparticles and can be employed as stability indicating one.

Neste trabalho desenvolveu-se e validou-se um efetivo método por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) em fase reversa com detecção por fotodiodos para a análise quantitativa de anfotericina B (AmB) em nanopartículas compostas por blendas de poli(ácido lático)-polietilenoglicol (PLA-PEG). Corridas cromatográficas foram realizadas sob coluna C18 de fase reversa com fase móvel consistindo de ácido acético 9% e acetonitrila (40:60, v/v), em eluição isocrática com fluxo de 1 mL/min. A AmB foi detectada no comprimento de onda de 408 nm. O processo de validação foi realizado considerando a seletividade, linearidade, precisão, exatidão, robustez, limite de detecção (LD) e limite de quantificação (LQ) do método. Uma faixa de concentração entre 1-20 µg/mL foi usada para obter a curva-padrão linear. Os valores de LD e LQ foram 55 e 18 ng/mL, respectivamente. A recuperação média da AmB a partir das amostras foi de 99,92% (desvio padrão relativo = 0,34%, n=9) e o método foi robusto, considerando alterações no fluxo da fase móvel (desvio padrão relativo máximo=4,82%). Os coeficientes de variação intra e inter dia foram inferiores a 0,59%. O método foi utilizado com sucesso para a determinação da eficiência de encapsulação da AmB em nanopartículas de PLA-PEG.

In this work, we developed and validated an effective reversed-phase HPLC method with photodiode array (PDA) detection for the quantitative analysis of amphotericin B (AmB) in poly(lactide)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) blend nanoparticles. Chromatographic runs were performed on a reverse phase C18 column using a mobile phase comprising a 9% acetic acid and acetonitrile mixture (40:60, v/v) under isocratic elution with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. AmB was detected at a wavelength of 408 nm. The validation process was performed considering the selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the method. A concentration range of 1-20 µg/mL was used to construct a linear calibration curve. The LOQ and LOD were 55 and 18 ng/mL, respectively. The mean recovery of AmB from the samples was 99.92% (relative standard deviation (RSD) = 0.34%, n=9), and the method was robust for changes in the flow rate of the mobile phase (maximum RSD=4.82%). The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were less than 0.59%. The method was successfully used to determine the entrapment efficiency of AmB in PLA-PEG blend nanoparticles.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver e validar um método rápido de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) para análise quantitativa de fluorouracila (5-FU) em nanopartículas poliméricas. Corridas cromatográficas foram realizadas sob uma coluna RP C18 com uma fase móvel consistindo de acetonitrila e água (10:90, v/v) a um fluxo de 1 mL/min. O 5-FU foi detectado e quantificado através de um detector de fotodiodos em um comprimento de onda de 265 nm. O método demonstrou ser específico e linear na faixa de 0,1-10 µg/mL (r =0.9997). As precisões (intra e inter dia) revelaram um desvio padrão relativo máximo de 3,51%. O método é robusto considerando mudanças realizadas no fluxo da fase móvel, temperatura e marca da coluna. Os limites de detecção e quantificação foram de 10,86 e 32,78 ng/mL, respectivamente. O método cumpriu os requisitos para ser considerado confiável e viável para aplicação na análise quantitativa de 5-FU em nanopartículas poliméricas.

The objective of this work was to develop and validate a rapid high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the quantitative analysis of fluorouracil (5-FU) in polymeric nanoparticles. Chromatographic analyses were performed on an RP C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water (10:90, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The 5-FU was detected and quantitated using a photodiode array detector at a wavelength of 265 nm. The method was shown to be specific and linear in the range of 0.1-10 µg/mL (r = 0.9997). The precision (intra- and inter-day) was demonstrated because the maximum relative standard deviation was 3.51%. The method is robust relative to changes in flow rate, column and temperature. The limits of detection and quantitation were 10.86 and 32.78 ng/mL, respectively. The method fulfilled the requirements for reliability and feasibility for application to the quantitative analysis of 5-FU in polymeric nanoparticles.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar o perfil antioxidante do kaempferol, quercetina, isoquercitrina e suas citotoxicidades relacionadas ao estresse oxidativo. Os compostos flavonóides foram capazes de agir como scavengers de ânion superóxido (mas não de peróxido de hidrogênio), ácido hipocloroso, cloramina e óxido nítrico. Apesar de flavonóides serem amplamente descritos como antioxidantes e esta atividade estar geralmente relacionada a efeitos benéficos para a saúde humana, aqui nós mostramos importantes ações citotóxicas destes três flavonóides conhecidos. Eles foram capazes de promover hemólise, a qual foi agravada na presença do ácido hipocloroso, mas não de radical AAPH. Portanto, apesar de apresentarem ação scavenger de espécies reativas, esses compostos poderiam ser lesivos aos seres vivos agindo sobre eritrócitos e talvez sobre outros tipos celulares.

The aim of the present study was to investigate a cytotoxic oxidative cell stress related and the antioxidant profile of kaempferol, quercetin, and isoquercitrin. The flavonol compounds were able to act as scavengers of superoxide anion (but not hydrogen peroxide), hypochlorous acid, chloramine and nitric oxide. Although flavonoids are widely described as antioxidants and this activity is generally related to beneficial effects on human health, here we show important cytotoxic actions of three well known flavonoids. They were able to promote hemolysis which one was exacerbated on the presence of hypochlorous acid but not by AAPH radical. Therefore, despite they expected scavenger action over free radicals an oxidants, these compounds could be very lesive to living organisms by acting over erythrocytes and maybe other cellular types.

Espécies reativas do oxigênio (ERO) e radicais livres estão relacionados ao início ou à exacerbação de muitas doenças em organismos vivos; existindo portanto uma necessidade contínua por moléculas antioxidantes que inativem as ERO e radicais livres. Muitos estudos com extratos brutos de plantas têm demonstrado propriedades antioxidantes e seqüestradoras de radicais livres. Espécies de Salacia são utilizadas, em muitos países, como remédio tradicional contra certas doenças e por suas propriedades antiinflamatórias. Neste estudo, o extrato bruto etanólico da casca da raiz da Salacia campestris Walp (Hippocrateaceae) foi avaliado quanto à sua habilidade em seqüestrar radicais livres e espécies reativas do oxigênio; os resultados são expressos como porcentagem de inibição das espécies ativas. ScEtOH mostrou-se eficiente frente as espécies estudadas: radical DPPH (inibição obtida = 30%), ABTS•+ (IC50 = 1,8±0,8 μg/mL), HOCl (IC50 = 1,7 ± 0,1 μg/mL), O2•- (inibição obtida = 32%), and NO• (inibição obtida = 18%). A inibição da atividade peroxidásica foi avaliada através da oxidação do guaiacol catalisada pela hemina, HRP e mieloperoxidase (MPO); os dados mostram que 10 μg/mL de ScEtOH promovem 54 e 51% de inibição, respectivamente para os sistemas da hemina e da HRP. No sistema da MPO, ScEtOH promoveu 50% de inibição na dose de 8,9 μg/mL, enquanto a quercetina, um potente inibidor da MPO promoveu tal inibição com 1,35 μg/mL.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radical species have been implicated in initiating or accompanying many diseases in living organisms; there is thus, a continual need for antioxidants molecules to inactivate ROS/free radicals. Many studies of plants crude extracts have demonstrated free-radical scavenging and antioxidant action. Salacia species have long been used, in several countries, as traditional medicines against certain diseases and for their anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, Salacia campestris Walp (Hippocrateaceae) root bark ethanol extract (ScEtOH) was assessed for its ability to scavenge free radicals and reactive oxygen species; the results were expressed as percentage inhibition of the active species. ScEtOH was efficient against studied species: DPPH radical (obtained inhibition = 30%), ABTS•+ (IC50 = 1.8±0.8 μg/mL), HOCl (IC50 = 1.7 ± 0.1 μg/mL), O2•- (obtained inhibition = 32%), and NO• (obtained inhibition = 18 %). Peroxidase activity inhibition was evaluated through the guaiacol oxidation reaction catalyzed by hemin, HRP and myeloperoxidase (MPO); data showed that ScEtOH at 10 μg/mL led to 54 and 51% of inhibition, respectively, for the hemin and HRP systems. In the MPO system, ScEtOH promoted a 50% inhibition at 8.9 μg/mL, whereas quercetin, a powerful MPO inhibitor, inhibited this system at 1.35 μg/mL.

Espécies Reativas do Oxigênio (ERO) e radicais livres têm tido implicações na iniciação e evolução de muitas doenças ou nas causas das mesmas em organismos vivos; há portanto, necessidade contínua por moléculas antioxidantes para inativar ERO/radicais livres. Estudos sobre extratos brutos de plantas têm demonstrado suas ações antioxidante e seqüestradora de radicais livres. Espécies do gênero Maytenus são utilizadas, em vários países, como medicamentos tradicionais no combate a úlceras gástricas, dispepsia e outras desordens gástricas, bem como por suas propriedades antiinflamatórias. Neste estudo, o extrato bruto etanólico da raiz da Maytenus aquifolium (Celastraceae) foi avaliado quanto à sua habilidade em seqüestrar radicais livres e outras espécies reativas do oxigênio. Os resultados são expressos como porcentagem de inibição das espécies ativas. O extrato foi eficiente contra as espécies estudadas: radical DPPH (inibição alcançada = 35,5 ± 1,3 %), ABTS•+ (IC50 = 0,0036 ± 0,0003 mg/mL), HOCl (IC50 = 0,002 ± 0,0001 mg/mL ), O2•- (inibição alcançada = 36,0 ± 2,1 %), and NO· (inibição alcançada = 18,3 ± 0,4 %).

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radical species have been implicated in initiating, accompanying or causing many diseases in living organisms; there is thus, a continual need for antioxidants molecules to inactivate ROS/free radicals. Many studies of plants crude extracts have demonstrated free-radical scavenging and antioxidant action. Maytenus species have long been used, in several countries, as traditional medicines against gastric ulcers, dyspepsia and others gastric problems and for their anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, Maytenus aquifolium (Celastraceae) root bark ethanol extract was assessed for its ability to scavenge free radicals and reactive oxygen species. The results were expressed as percentage inhibition of the active species. The extract was efficient against studied reactive species: DPPH radical (obtained inhibition = 35.5 ± 1.3 %), ABTS•+ (IC50 = 0.0036 ± 0.0003 mg/mL), HOCl (IC50 = 0.002 ± 0.0001 mg/mL ), O2•- (obtained inhibition = 36.0 ± 2.1 %), and NO• (obtained inhibition = 18.3 ± 0.4 %).
