Efeitos do extrato hidroalcoolico do hymenaea rubriflora ducke na reatividade vascular e capacidade antioxidante em ratos

Abstract

This study aimed to quantify the content of phenolic compounds of the bark extracts of the stem and pulp of the fruit of Hymenaea rubriflora Ducke and its effect on vascular reactivity to contractile and relaxing agents thoracic aorta of rats, as well as oxidative stress and biochemical parameters. extraction was performed phenolic compounds of the shell, the stem and the pulp using the ratio of water and alcohol solvents (1: 1). The presence of total phenolic compounds was performed by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the antioxidant capacity for the kidnapping of free radical DPPH of hydroalcoholic extracts. The vasorelaxant effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of the stem bark (HR-HAc), as well as acute toxicity for the realization of rats supplemented rats with HR-HACwas studied at doses of 25 (G25), 50 (G50) and 150 mg / kg (G100) for four weeks (8 animals / group). Biochemical analysis was used to quantify nitrite (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant activity, lipid profile, and glucose. It was identified that the HR-HAcshowed higher concentration of phenolic compounds (274, 63 mg AC Gál / g) and antioxidant activity (5076.50 micromol Tx / g), the fruit pulp extract (HR-HAp) ( Ac Ga 3.49 mg / g and 29.26 micromol Tx / g, respectively). In addition, the HR-HAcrelaxed the aorta pre-contracted with mouse FEN concentration dependent manner in both, presence and absence of functional endothelium (EC50 = 5.0 ± 1.1 vs. 8.7 ± 1.8 ug / mL), and the attenuated relaxation in the presence of L-NAME (EC50 = 142.4 ± 21.6 mg / mL), however, was not observed change in the relaxation induced by the extract in the presence of indometHAcin (EC50 = 2.9 ± 0.3 ug / mL). Acute supplementation HR-HAcshowed low toxicity, while the chronic supplementation showed increased relaxation potency of ACh compared to G50 G100 (pD2 = 7.8 ± 0.1 vs. 7.6 ± 0.1). The cumulative curve with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) showed greater potency in relaxing G100 compared to G50 (pD2 = 12.1 ± 0.04 vs 11.3 ± 0.3). The contractile efficacy without endothelium in rat aorta was reduced G100 (Emax = 40.4 ± 5.1%). The cumulative curve FEN in the presence of L-NAME showed reduction in contractile potency in rat aorta with endothelium G25 and G50 in comparison GC in the presence and absence of L-NAME (pD2 = 6.4 ± 0.1, 6.4 ± 0.1 and 6.9 ± 0.1 respectively) as well as contractile efficiency of FEN was reduced in the groups G25, G50 and G100 when compared to the control group in the presence and absence of L-NAME (Emax = 61.4 ± 5.2, 74.4 ± 5.3, 76.9 ± 3.7, 100 and 100%, respectively). It was found that there was no significant difference in the values of antioxidant capacity, NO, lipid profile and glucose in plasma of the treated animals and the control group. Thus, it is concluded that this product may be indicated for prophylactic benefits to pathologies related to changes in vascular reactivity.
