RESUMO

Elicitation of cell suspensions culture is a strategy that could increase the production of secondary metabolites under controlled conditions. This research evaluated the effect of methyl jasmonate-MeJA and salicylic acid-SA as elicitors on the production of metabolites in cell suspensions of P. cumanense. The type of elicitor (MeJA or SA), the concentration of elicitor (10 µM and 100 µM), and time of exposition (3, 12, 24 h) on cell suspension were evaluated. Metabolic profiles of intracellular and extracellular extracts were analyzed by UHPLC-DAD and GC-MS. Differential production of metabolites was dependent on the type of elicitor, its concentration, and the time of exposition. Treatments with 100 µM SA were conducted to high production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (6.3 %), phenol (6.5 %), and (Z)-9-octadecenamide (8.8 %). This is the first report of elicitation on cell suspensions in the Piper genus and contributes to understanding the effect of MeJA and SA on metabolite production in plant cell culture.

RESUMO

Actualmente las enfermedades infecciosas originadas por diferentes microorganismos, son una de las mayores causas de muerte a nivel mundial, razón por la que la búsqueda de nuevos agentes antimicrobianos se ha hecho indispensable, y los productos naturales han constituido una de las fuentes potenciales para encontrar compuestos antimicrobianos. Las especies del género Zanthoxylum se caracterizan por presentar diversos tipos de metabolitos secundarios, muchos de los cuales han mostrado interesantes propiedades biológicas contra diversos microorganismos patógenos humanos. El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en evaluar la actividad antibacteriana de 21 sustancias aisladas de 2 especies del género Zanthoxylum (Rutaceae). La actividad fue determinada por el método de difusión radial en agar contra cepas de bacterias estándar grampositivas: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 y Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 y gramnegativas: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 y Salmonella tiphymurium, cepas ATCC 14028s y MS7953. De las 21 sustancias naturales evaluadas, 11 causaron algún grado de inhibición del crecimiento bacteriano. El alcaloide benzofenantridínico queleritrina presentó la mayor actividad, e inhibió el crecimiento de las 5 cepas con halos de inhibición comparables o superiores a los mostrados por los antibióticos empleados como controles positivos. Los alcaloides isoquinolínicos en general, son las sustancias más promisorias para continuar con estudios más específicos de actividad antibacteriana, pues además de presentar una actividad interesante, algunas de estas sustancias inhiben tanto el crecimiento de bacterias grampositivas como el de bacterias gramnegativas, lo cual indica que son sustancias que presentan actividad antibacteriana de amplio espectro.


Currently, infectious diseases caused by different microorganisms are one of major causes of death worldwide, so the search for new antimicrobial agents has become indispensable, being the natural products one potential source to find antimicrobial compounds. The species of Zanthoxylum genus are characterized by different types of secondary metabolites, many of which exhibit interesting biological properties against several human pathogens. In this research work, the antibacterial activity of 21 substances isolated from two species of Zanthoxylum (Rutaceae) genus was evaluated. It was determined by agar radial diffusion method against standard strains of Gram (+) bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and Gram (-) bacteria: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Salmonella tiphymurium, strains ATCC 14028s and MS7953. Of the 21 natural substances evaluated, 11 caused some degree of bacterial growth inhibition. The benzophenanthridine alkaloid called chelerythrine showed the greatest anti-bacterial activity when inhibiting the growth of five strains with inhibition zones comparable or superior to those exhibited by the antibiotics used as positive controls. Isoquinoline alkaloids are the most promising substances for further specific studies of antibacterial activity; in addition to their interesting action, some of these substances are able to inhibit the growth of Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria, thus indicating their broad spectrum antibacterial action.

RESUMO

Del extracto de éter de petróleo de hojas de Uncaria guianensis (Rubiaceae), se aisló un compuesto tipo clorina denominado éster etílico de feoforbida a y una mezcla de esteroles conocidos como ß-sitosterol y estigmasterol. Sus estructuras fueron elucidadas por análisis detallado de RMN, incluyendo técnicas bidimensionales, y por comparación con datos reportados en la literatura. Posteriormente, se evaluó la actividad antibacteriana al éster etílico de feoforbida a contra dos cepas Gram(+): S. aureus ATCC 6538 y E. faecalis ATCC 29212 y contra tres cepas Gram (-): E. coli ATCC 25922, S. typhimurium ATCC 14028s y S. typhimurium MS7953. Se encontró actividad significativa contra S. aureus, E. faecalis, E. coli y S. tiphymurium MS7953.


A chlorin compound, pheophorbide a ethyl ester and a mixture of sterols known as ß-sitosterol and stigmasterol, were isolated from the petroleum ether extract of Uncaria guianensis (Rubiaceae) leaves. Their structures were elucidated by detailed analysis of NMR spectra, including bidimensional techniques and by comparison with literature data. The antibacterial activity for the pheophorbide a ethyl ester was evaluated against two Gram (+) strains: S. aureus ATCC 6538 y E. faecalis ATCC 29212 and three Gram (-) strains: E. coli ATCC 25922, S. typhimurium ATCC 14028s y S. typhimurium MS7953S. aureus ATCC 6538 and E. fecalis ATCC 29212, finding significant activity against S. aureus 6538, E. faecalis 29212, S. tiphymurium MS7953 and E. coli 25922.
