RESUMO:

The Caatinga biome of the Brazilian Northeast constitutes an important potential of vegetal formation, since innumerable of its species are reported in the literature by the broad spectrum of biological activities and chemical diversity. Due to the potential of this biome, the present study approaches the chemical and biological investigation of three species of the caatinga, Euphorbia tirucalli Linn., Bredemeyera floribunda Willd. and Bredemeyera brevifolia Benth. The LC-MS analysis applied to the crude extracts of the three species allowed to evaluate the phytochemical profile of each species, in which it was possible to verify that the flavonoids represent the major class of secondary metabolites. The chemical study of the extracts hexane and ethanois of the shoots and roots (ETPAE-H, ETPAE-E, ETR-H and ETR-E) of the species E. tirucalli, using chromatographic techniques (adsorption and exclusion) allowed the isolation of five constituents and the evaluation of its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The hexane extract from the aerial part was initially subjected to a saponification reaction and the unsaponifiable constituents obtained were applied to a flash chromatographic column. This procedure allowed the isolation of a pentacyclic triterpene, β-amyrin (ET-1), already isolated in the species. As for the ethanol extract from the root, it was possible to isolate four substances through adsorption and molecular exclusion chromatography: sorbic acid (ET-2), apelopsin (ET-3), myricetin and 3,3 ' -dimethoxy-4'-hydroxy-4-pyran-raminose, both reported for the first time in the E. tirucalli species. As a continuation of this study, the antioxidant activity of the four extracts and compounds isolated from the radicals DPPH and ABTS was evaluated, which allowed to verify that the ethanol extract from the roots presented better efficiency compared to the two radicals with IC50 of 78,27 and 221,22 μg / ml against DPPH and ABTS radicals, respectively. For the isolated compounds, it was observed that the ET-4 compound showed significant inhibition of IC 50 free radicals of 22.62 μg / mL for DPPH and 53.22 μg / mL for ABTS, thus showing higher efficiency than the Trolox standard which presented IC50 of 49.12 μg / mL for DPPH and 112.15 μg / mL for ABTS. With respect to the antimicrobial activities it was possible to verify that only the ethanolic extracts were identified as potential antibacterial and antifungal agents for inhibiting the growth or killing of strains of bacteria and fungi such as S. aureus, E. coli, S. brasiliensis and C. Albicans. Among the compounds isolated, all showed inhibitory effect against strains of bacteria and fungi, with greater effect for ET-3 and ET-4 compounds. ET-3 showed high potential against S. aureus, E. coli and C. albicans with MIC = 8 μg / mL, 16 μg / mL and 32 μg / mL, respectively. And the ET-4 compound presented MIC of 8 μg / mL and CBM of 16 μg / mL against E. coli, showing more efficacy than the antibiotic Tetracycline. The chemical study of the species of the genus Bredemeyera was also promising, since from successive chromatographic treatments (adsorption and exclusion) applied to the hydroalcoholic extract of the roots of the species B. floribunda allowed the isolation of a cinnamic derivative, (2E) -3 '- (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl) prop-2-enoate, and a trimethoxylated xanthone, to 1,7-dihydroxy-3,4,8-trimethoxyxanthone both already isolated in that species. The chromatographic fractionation applied to the ethanol extract of the stems also allowed the isolation of three flavonoids, canferol and quercetin, both isolated for the first time in the species, and rutin, a molecule previously isolated in the roots of this species. The hydroalcoholic extract of the roots of B. brevifolia was initially submitted to liquid-liquid partition with hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate. The chloroform fraction (BBEA-C) was applied to adsorption chromatography allowing the identification of two flavones, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3'-methoxyflavone and 5,7,2 ', 3', 4'- pentahydroxy-6,4'-dimethoxyflavone (BBR-1). The acetate fraction (BBREA-Ac) was first subjected to Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, and then, flash chromatography on silica gel, these procedures allowed the isolation of flavone 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3'- methoxyflavone (BBR-2) identified in the chloroform fraction. The evaluation of the hyaluronidase activity showed that the B. jararaca venom was totally inhibited by the hydroalcoholic extract of B. brevifolia roots, in a ratio of 1: 5 (venom: extract, w / w). The characterization and structural elucidation of the compounds reported here were performed by analyzing the Uni and bidimention 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy data as well as by comparison with literature data.
