OBTENÇÃO E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DE EXTRATO BRUTO DE CAVALINHA PARA FINS MEDICINAIS

O uso de plantas medicinais para o tratamento de doenças está associado à medicina popular de diferentes partes do mundo. A cavalinha, pertencente à família Equisetaceae, é amplamente distribuída na região sul do Brasil. Possui propriedades medicinais, tais como diurética, hemostática, anti-inflamatória, cicatrizante, dentre outros princípios ativos intrínsecos. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo a obtenção de extratos brutos da planta Equisetum hyemale por uso de dois métodos extrativos diferentes, a caracterização dos extratos por meio de suas propriedades e potencialidades medicinais e avaliação do efeito da temperatura em ambos os extratos. Os resultados permitiram a comparação de ambos os métodos extrativos, por influência térmica (Soxhlet) e influência química (Maceração), utilizando técnicas como espectroscopia no Uv-visível e na região do Infravermelho, que permitiram a quantificação de clorofila e da atividade antioxidante. O cultivo celular em monocamadas como modelo biológico permitiu avaliar a citotoxicidade dos extratos brutos. Tendo em vista a carência de pesquisas científicas sobre o mecanismo de extração de ativos de origem vegetal, este trabalho contribui para a área de produtos naturais, os quais são utilizados para a melhoria da qualidade de vida.Palavras-chave: Extração.

The “cavalinha”, belonging to the family Equisetaceae, is widely distributed in southern Brazil. It has medicinal properties such as diuretic, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, healing, among other intrinsic active ingredients. The objective of the present work was to obtain crude extracts from the Equisetum hyemale plant by using two different extractive methods, the characterization of the extracts by their medicinal properties and potentialities and the evaluation of the temperature effect on both extracts. The results allowed the comparison of both extractive methods, by thermal influence (Soxhlet) and chemical influence (Maceration), using techniques such as UV-visible and Infrared spectroscopy, which allowed the quantification of chlorophyll and antioxidant activity. Cell culture in monolayers as a biological model allowed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of crude extracts. Given the lack of scientific research on the mechanism of extraction of plant-based assets, this work contributes to the area of natural products, which are used to improve the quality of life.Keywords: Extraction.

AbstractHoney is a sweet substance made from the nectar of flowers and other chemical secretions from the bees’ bodies who collect nectar from the flowers and bring it to their hives to transform it to the thick, golden and sweet liquid that we call honey. The benefits of honey are not just limited to its basic use as a natural sweetener, but also its medicinal properties. The purpose of this study was to identify the bacteria that are present in honey commonly found in Bangladesh, which can tolerate the antimicrobial conditions of honey and survive in it. Fortunately, such bacteria could be detected, isolated and characterized by morphological and biochemical tests. The predominant type of bacteria commonly found in both raw and commercial honeys of Bangladesh are gram positive cocci such as streptococci, staphylococci, micrococci, bacilli and lactobacilli. Few gram negative bacteria were also isolated like Escherichia coli (8%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (8%) and some gram negative/gram variable Micrococcus luteus (75%). Hopefully, such knowledge would benefit people in the future as they will know more about the microorganisms present in honey and about the safety and quality of the honey they are about to buy or consume.

Acidic extraction of the stem bark and roots of Chione venosa (SW.) URBAN var. venosa, purchased in Grenada under the vernacular name Bois Bandé, led to the isolation of two new substances of the oxynorneolignan-type. Moreover, TLC- and HPLC-systems were developed in order to determine these substances in crude extracts. Analytical data are indicated for the new compounds, as well as for those substances which were published recently. In the different Caribbean islands different plant sources are used to furnish the aphrodisiac Bois Bandé. On the basis of the presented analytical systems, 14 different samples of Bois Bandé (stem bark and/or root) that were either purchased from local traders or collected at different sites in the Grenadian forest were examined. In addition, an entire macroscopic and microscopic description of the drug is given which, in combination with the phytochemical data, provides a powerful tool to assess the quality of the drug material with regard to its botanical homogeneity.

Gastrocnemius Muscles

Coriander is a commonly used vegetable, spice, and folk medicine, possessing both nutritional and medicinal properties. Up to two-thirds of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) exhibit loss of body mass, predominately skeletal muscle mass, a process called rheumatoid cachexia, and this has major effects of the quality of life of patients. Owing to a lack of effective treatments, the initial stage of cachexia has been proposed as an important period for prevention and decreasing pathogenesis. In the current study, we found that cachexia-like molecular disorders and muscle weight loss were in progress in gastrocnemius muscle after only 5 days of RA induction in rats, although rheumatoid cachexia symptoms have been reported occurring approximately 45 days after RA induction. Oral administration of coriander slightly restored muscle loss. Moreover, iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics revealed that coriander treatment could partially restore the molecular derangements induced by RA, including impaired carbon metabolism, deteriorated mitochondrial function (tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation), and myofiber-type alterations. Therefore, coriander could be a promising functional food and/or complementary therapy for patients with RA against cachexia.

The Family

For the purification of the abnormal prothrombin (Pt Metz), advantage has been taken of the existence in the family of three siblings who, being double heterozygotes for Pt Metz and a hypoprothrombinemia, have no normal Pt. Purification procedures included barium citrate adsorption and chromatography on DEAE Sephadex as for normal Pt. As opposed to some other variants (Pt Barcelona and Madrid), Pt Metz elutes as a single symetrical peak. By SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, this material is homogeneous and appears to have the same molecular weight as normal Pt. Comigration of normal and abnormal Pt in the absence of SDS, shows a double band suggesting an abnormal charge for the variant. Pt Metz exhibits an identity reaction with the control by double immunodiffusion. Upon activation by factor Xa, Pt Metz can generate amydolytic activity on Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-pNa (S2160), but only a very low clotting activity. Clear abnormalities are observed in the cleavage pattern of Pt Metz when monitored by SDS gel electrophoresis. The main feature are the accumulation of prethrombin l (Pl) and the appearance of abnormal intermediates migrating faster than Pl.

This article deals with the results of study of species content and basic peculiarities of beaked mites-Phytoseiidae in plant associations of one of the regional centers of Ukraine. The species composition and distribution of mites-Phytoseiidae (Parasitiformes, Phytoseiidae) in plantations of Brovary town of Kyiv region were determined. Fourteen species of 8 genera of phytoseiid mites were found. Index of their existing and relative biotope connection of each registered species to vegetation types and plant species were computed. The study was conducted according to the results of material treatment on the territory of the mentioned city from 25 species of plants (16 species of hardy-shrub and 9 of herbaceous vegetations). The studies of distribution of plant-living mites-Phytoseiidae were conducted separately for hardy-shrub and herbaceous plants). The collection of faunistic material was executed during the vegetation of periods of 2011 and 2013. Within the city the collection of the material was conducted with hardy-shrub plants and herbaceous type of vegetation along the streets, in parks and squares of Brovary city of Kyiv region, district center, one of the satellite-cities of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The study of species complexes characteristics of mites was conducted with usage of data calculated on the basis of frequency index (Is), degree of relative habitat confinedness (F) (Pesenko, 1982) and domination index Paliy-Kovnatski (Di) (Shitikov, 2003). Only on one species of plant (F=1) 6 species of mites-Phytoseiidae were found – T.сotoneastri on blue spruce, T. laurae – on common spruce, T. aceri – on ash-leaved maple, P. incognitus – on dog-rose, P. soleiger – on mulberry-tree, A. caudiglans – on sea-buckthorn. These species can be related to stenoecic. The mentioned species are stenotopic only in relation to the sample of plants from the plant associations of Brovary, as in other regions these species of mites can populate the other species of plants. The rest 8 species, being registered on two or more types of plants, are related to euryoecic. Among them there is a group of 6 species with “positive tendencies to population of plants”, owning the indicators of habitat confinedness 0<F<1: A. andersoni (0,92–0,96), A. rademacheri (0,85–0,96), N. herbarius (0,92–0,96), T. tiliarum (0,66–0,77), A. pirianykae (0,73–0,99), A. clavata (0,82–0,98). The rest species, E. finlandicus и K. aberrans, have the expanded range of indicators in relation to habitat confinedness (-0,71<F<0,55 и -0,16<F<0,88), that specifies on their ability to populate the big quality of species. E. finlandicus has the negative indicator of relative habitat confinedness in relation to the plants of herbaceous morphotype that serves confirmation of the ecological peculiarity of the species detected earlier. The data of relative habitat confinedness of mites to certain species of plants shows availability of stenoecic (T.сotoneastri, T. laurae, T. aceri, P. incognitus, P. soleiger, A. caudiglans) and euryoecic species (A. andersoni, A. rademacheri, N. herbarius, E. finlandicus, K. aberrans, T. tiliarum, A. pirianykae, A. clavata).
