RESUMO
The objective of this study was to determine the best level of wine making by-product meal (WBM) as a natural antioxidant to replace butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) in beef burger stored at -20 °C for up to 120 days. The treatments consisted of control (basic formulation - BF, without antioxidant); BF with BHT; and BF with WBM0.5, WBM1.0, WBM1.5, and WBM2.0, with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g WBM/100 g BF, respectively. Up to 60 days of storage, the lipid oxidation value between BHT and WBM0.5 treatments did not differ and were lower than the values presented by the other treatments. On day 90 and 120, the lipid oxidation values of treatments BHT, WBM0.5, and WBM1.0 did not differ and were lower than the values presented by WBM1.5 and WBM2.0 treatments. Burgers from all treatments with WBM inclusion had crude fiber values above 3 g/100 g. WBM1.5 and WBM2.0 treatments had the worst scores for appearance, aroma, juiciness and tenderness, in addition to the highest cooking losses. WBM can be used at up to 1 g/100 g to replace BHT in frozen beef burgers. Higher levels of WBM inclusion increased lipid oxidation and negatively affected the sensory quality of burgers.

SUMMARY Introduction: Recent research has reported the cytotoxic potential of hydrazones against various strains of cancer cells. Aim: To evaluate the anticancer activity in vitro and the pharmacokinetic profile of six synthesized hydrazonic compounds, identified as vanillin 1-phthalazinylhydrazone (VAN-1); 2,4-dinitrophenylhydra-zone vanillin (VAN-2); phenylhydrazone cinnamaldehyde (CIN-1); isonicotinoyl hydrazone cinnamaldehyde (CIN-2); cinnamaldehyde 1-phthalazinylhydrazone (CIN-3); and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone cinnamaldehyde (CIN-4). The cytotoxic activity was evaluated against four strains of cancer cells. Methodology: The pharmacokinetic parameters of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADME/T) of the hydrazones were evaluated using the PreADMET program. Results: Hydrazones derived from cinnamaldehyde (CIN-1 and CIN-2) showed high cytotoxic activity against leukemic (HL-60) and glioblastomas (SF-295) cell lines. The pharmacokinetic profile of the hydrazones showed that, in general, the hydrazones presented satisfactory characteristics of ADME/T. In addition, it was observed that CIN-2 presented the most promising in silico profile, showing high intestinal absorption, desirable distribution profile related to plasma protein binding, adequate renal excretion, and low toxicity. The ADME/T profile of the CIN-1 compound highlighted its potential as a promising antineoplastic agent with action of the CNS, more specifically against glioblastomas.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Natural naphthoquinones have shown diversified biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and cytotoxic activities. However, they are also compounds with acute cytotoxicity, immunotoxicity, carcinogenesis, and cardio- and hepatotoxicity, and the modification at their redox center is an interesting strategy to overcome such harmful activity. OBJECTIVE: In this study, four novel semisynthetic hydrazones, derived from the isomers α- and ß- lapachones (α and ß, respectively) and coupled with the drugs hydralazine (HDZ) and isoniazid (ACIL), were prepared, evaluated by electrochemical methods and assayed for anticancer activity. METHODS: The semisynthetic hydrazones were obtained and had their molecular structures established by NMR, IR, and MS. Anticancer activity was evaluated by cell viability determined by reduction of 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazol)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT). The electrochemical studies, mainly cyclic voltammetry, were performed, in aprotic and protic media. RESULTS: The study showed that the compounds 2, 3, and 4 were active against at least one of the cancer cell lines evaluated, compounds 3 and 4 being the most cytotoxic. Toward HL-60 cells, compound 3 was 20x more active than ß-lapachone, and 3x more cytotoxic than doxorubicin. Furthermore, 3 showed an SI value of 39.62 for HL-60 cells. Compound 4 was active against all cancer cells tested, with IC50 values in the range 2.90-12.40 µM. Electrochemical studies revealed a profile typical of self-protonation and reductive cleavage, dependent on the supporting electrolyte. CONCLUSION: These results therefore indicate that compounds 3 and 4 are strong candidates as prototypes of new antineoplastic drugs.

Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, has been the subject of many assistance studies of alternatives for the treatment of infections. These studies aim to solve this problem for bacteria, such as biofilm formation. Aiming to control the emergence of the problem or enhance antibiotic activity, the data sources are inserted into new therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of infections. ß-Lapachone and Lapachol Oxime are semi-synthetic derivatives of Lapachol with antimicrobial potential. Clinical isolates from human blood cultures were used in this study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed following the glutaraldehyde fixation protocol. The presence of ß-Lapachone and Lapachol Oxima interfered in the biofilm formation state. In the MEV, the effect was observed in the reduction of the population of biofilm-forming cells. Therefore, it was possible to conclude the promising potential of the anti-biofilm of substances, justifying the nature of the natural products as agents of inspiration for the detection of new compounds with the biological function.
