    (2016) Martins, Dayse Carvalho da Silva; Silva, Fernando César; Meireles, Alexandre Moreira; Soares, Érico Augusto Rodrigues; Silva, Grácia Divina de Fátima; Vieira Filho, Sidney Augusto; Duarte, Lucienir Pains; Rebouças, Júlio Santos; Idemori, Ynara Marina
    Manganese porphyrin-catalyzed oxidation of lupeol by iodosylbenzenewas achieved undermild conditionswith low isolated yields but with remarkable selectivity, depending on the catalyst of choice. Mn(III) mesotetraphenylporphyrin and Mn(III) meso-tetrakis(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)porphyrin provided an entry for the preparation of 3β,30-dihydroxylup-20(29)-ene (6–14% yields), whereas Mn(III) β-octabromo-meso-tetrakis(4- carbomethoxyphenyl)porphyrin led to 20-oxo-3β-hydroxy-29-norlupeol (6% yield), as single products. Unreacted lupeol was recovered in quantitative yield. The oxidative transformations at lupeol C20 or C30 take place with no need for protection of C3 hydroxyl moiety.

    (2017) Soares, Débora Barbosa da Silva; Duarte, Lucienir Pains; Cavalcanti, André Dias; Silva, Fernando César; Braga, Ariadne Duarte; Lopes, Miriam Teresa Paz; Takahashi, Jacqueline Aparecida; Vieira Filho, Sidney Augusto
    The phytochemical study of hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts from leaves of Psychotria viridis resulted in the identification of: the pentacyclic triterpenes, ursolic and oleanolic acid; the steroids, 24-methylene-cycloartanol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol; the glycosylated steroids 3-O-β-D-glucosyl-β- sitosterol and 3-O-β-D-glucosyl-stigmasterol; a polyunsaturated triterpene, squalene; the esters of glycerol, 1-palmitoylglycerol and triacylglycerol; a mixture of long chain hydrocarbons; the aldehyde nonacosanal; the long chain fat acids hentriacontanoic, hexadecanoic and heptadenoic acid; the ester methyl heptadecanoate; the 4-methyl-epi-quinate and two indole alkaloids, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and N-methyltryptamine. The chemical structures were determined by means of spectroscopic (IR, 1H and 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY) and spectrometric (CG-MS and LCMS-ESI-ITTOF) methods. The study of biologic properties of P. viridis consisted in the evaluation of the acetylcholinesterase inhibition and cytotoxic activities. The hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts, the substances 24-methylene-cycloartanol, DMT and a mixture of 3-O-β-D-glucosyl-β-sitosterol and 3-O-β-D-glucosyl-stigmasterol showed cholinesterase inhibiting activity. This activity induced by chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts was higher than 90%. The methanol and ethyl acetate extracts inhibit the growth and/or induce the death of the tumor cells strains B16F10 and 4T1, without damaging the integrity of the normal cells BHK and CHO. DMT also demonstrated a marked activity against tumor cell strains B16F10 and 4T1.

    (2014) Rodrigues, Vanessa Gregório; Silva, Fernando César; Duarte, Lucienir Pains; Takahashi, Jacqueline Aparecida; Matildes, Bibiane Lindsay Guimarães; Silva, Grácia Divina de Fátima; Miranda, Roqueline Rodrigues Silva de; Vieira Filho, Sidney Augusto
    Objective: Species of the Maytenus genus have been used in traditional medicine to treat a wide variety of human diseases. These species represent a promising source of bioactive substances of pharmacological interest. As part of a research project on phytochemical and biological activity studies of the low polarity extracts of the Maytenus genus, the extracts and eleven known pentacyclic triterpenes isolated from roots of Maytenus imbricata, and branches of Maytenus gonoclada were investigated for acetylcholinesterase inhibitory property. Methods: The acetylcholinesterase inhibition was evaluated by direct thin layer chromatography bioautography and microplate assays. Results: The crude extracts did not exhibit acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, but pentacyclic triterpenes, 3-oxo-11α-hydroxylup-20(29)-ene, 3-oxo-29-hydroxyfriedelane and 3,7-dioxofriedelane were active when compared to the standard compound physostigmine (eserine). Conclusion: The in vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibition property of these three pentacyclic triterpenes from Maytenus genus gives them the potential compounds to be applied in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

    Plants of the Maytenus genus have been used in folk medicine in Brazil for treatment of gastrointestinal motility disturbances such as diarrhea. The present study was performed to evaluate antigiardial activity of the hexane extract and triterpenes isolated from the branches of Maytenus gonoclada Mart. (Celastraceae). The hexane extract and triterpenes were examined for antigiardial activity using the colorimetric method against Giardia lamblia (ATCC 30888). The hexane extract exhibited antigiardial activity. This result may partly explain and support the use of plants of the Maytenus genus for the treatment of diarrhea in folk medicine in Brazil.

    Cyanobacteria proliferation represents a problem to water treatment for human consumption supply. Species of the genus Microcystis, commonly found in continental waters, can bloom and produce microcystine and other toxic compounds associated to human and animal poisoning, depending on the nutrient levels present in the water. The use of natural products to control cyanobacteria blooms is promising since they are less harmful to the environment than compounds obtained by organic syntheses. Triterpenes, which are associated with several biological activities, have been isolated from species of the genus Maytenus (Celastraceae), commonly found in Cerrado regions of Brazil. Tingenone is a pentacyclic triterpene that has cytotoxic properties and induces growth inhibition in some microorganisms. In this study, the effects of tingenone isolated from Maytenus gonoclada at distinct concentrations (e.g., 50, 150, 500, 1,500, and 4,500 μg L−1) on the growth rates of Microcystis novacekii was investigated. The algicide activity was verified using M. novacekii cultures growing in ASM1 culture medium at 23 °C and continuous illumination for 96 h. Growth inhibition was monitored by light microscopy and optical density (OD680 nm). The median effective concentration associated to the M. novacekii inhibition growth induced by tingenone was 12.2 μg L−1. The result indicates that tingenone has algicide effect and can be potentially applied in water management for public supply, replacing synthetic algicides.
