Caracterização dos marcadores, desenvolvimento e validação de método analítico aplicado ao estudo de sazonalidade e identificação de novos alcalóides de Cissampelos sympodialis

Abstract

The leaf ethanolic extract of Cissampelos sympodialis showed promising activity in different animal models of asthma. Several alkaloids have been isolated and identified in the extract, including warifteine and methylwarifteine (bisbenzylisoquinoline), as well as milonine (morphinandienone). In this work we describe the development and validation of a method for simultaneous quantification of chemical markers in ethanolic extracts applied to the study of seasonality and isolation of two bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids. Already for milonine, warifteine and methylwarifteine were isolated, purified and quantified in crude ethanolic extracts of leaves using a methodology developed and validated. The warifteine and methylwarifteine were isolated from total alkaloid fraction of roots (TAF-r) of C. sympodialis, whereas that the milonine was isolated from the TAF-l. The structural identification was performed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy of 1H and 13C, mass spectrometry and infrared spectrometry. The method made use of high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (278 nm) using a reverse phase column C18 (250 x 4.6 mm, 5mm) and a mobile phase mixture of water-triethylamine (0,05%) (A) : methanol (B) in order gradient: 0-5 min. (60%), 5-15 min. (72%), 15-25 min.(80%), 25-30 min. (60%). at a rate of 1 mL / min. and running time of 30 min. The chromatographic method was validated in accordance with the recommended resolution of 899 of Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária, and was linear in the concentration range used (2-100 mg / mL), selective (with good separation between the three chromatographic peaks and interfering) and robust. The calibration model used was of standard addition. In the study of seasonality of the markers was observed that there was significant decrease in the concentration of milonine, warifteine and methylwarifteine between February and April. These prominent decreases between the months of February and April for the three molecules coincide with the fruiting period of the plant being observed the appearance of warifteine and methylwarifteine alkaloids in the fruits. This observation suggests the need of the biosynthesis of these alkaloids for the fruits. Through chromatographic and spectrometric techniques was isolated and identified FAT roots of C. sympodialis a mixture of the epimers 7’- desmetilroraimine and 1' - epi - 7'- desmetilroraimine bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids that are inedited in the literature.
