Foi avaliada a eficácia de produtos alternativos aos agroquímicos no controle da antracnose na pós-colheita de mangas 'Ubá'. Frutos fisiologicamente maduros foram pulverizados até o completo molhamento, com suspensão de conídios de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, na concentração de 2,5 x 10(5) conídios/mL. Após a secagem ao ar, foram pulverizados com água destilada (testemunha), tween 20 (8 mL/L de solução), Prochloraz (1,10 mL de Sportak 450 EC/L de solução), óleo de alho (10 mL/L + 8 mL/L de tween 20), óleo de amêndoa de Acrocomia aculeata + leite em pó instantâneo (LPI) (25 mL/L+ 10 g LPI/L), óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + tween (25 mL/L + 8 mL/L de tween 20), biofertilizante agro-mos® (100 µL/L), óleo de neen (10 mL/L + 8 mL/L de tween 20), quitosana (10 mL/L + 8 mL/L de tween 20) e biomassa cítrica (10 mL/L + 8 mL/L tween 20).O solvente utilizado foi água destilada. Avaliaram-se o período de incubação, o período latente, a perda de massa fresca, a produção de CO² e, diariamente, a severidade e incidência da doença. Os períodos mais curtos de incubação da doença foram observados nos frutos tratados com óleo de neen, água + tween e biomassa cítrica, com aproximadamente cinco dias. O óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + LPI e agro-mos® foram os produtos que mais retardaram o aparecimento dos sintomas, impondo à doença o período de incubação de nove dias após a inoculação do patógeno. Quanto à severidade, o óleo de amêndoa de macaúba + LPI e o Prochloraz foram os mais eficientes em conter o crescimento do patógeno até o oitavo dia após a inoculação, sendo que, logo depois, os frutos tratados com óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + LPI se igualaram àqueles tratados com a maioria dos demais produtos. Os frutos tratados com óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + LPI e óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + tween manifestaram as estruturas do patógeno apenas após 13 e 14 dias de avaliação, respectivamente. As maiores perdas de massa foram observadas nos frutos tratados com óleo de alho e biomassa cítrica, com 8,31% e 8,44%, respectivamente, no dia 14. Quanto à produção de CO², o óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + LPI e óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + tween mantiveram a taxa respiratória crescente, sendo que, no dia 12 ocorreu um leve aumento na respiração. Dessa forma, conclui-se que, além do Prochloraz, o óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + LPI e óleo de amêndoa de A. aculeata + tween têm bom potencial para controle da antracnose em manga 'Ubá'.

Avaliaram-se as características de qualidade de pequi (C. coriaceum) congelado e acondicionado em diferentes embalagens, armazenados a -18º C, durante 300 dias. Os frutos, coletados na safra de 2009/2010, foram descascados, obtendo-se assim os caroços, que, após sanificados, foram submetidos a 3 tipos de embalagens: 1 - Cortados em lâminas de aproximadamente 2 mm de espessura de polpa e seladas a vácuo em polietileno de alta densidade (PEAD); 2 - Caroços embalados e selados a vácuo em sacos de PEAD; 3 - Caroços dispostos em bandejas de poliestireno expandido e envoltos por filme plástico. As amostras foram avaliadas aos 0; 60; 120; 180; 240 e 300 dias de armazenamento. Utilizou-se um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial, e os resultados foram submetidos a análises de variância e regressão. O congelamento do pequi submetido aos três tipos de acondicionamento foi eficiente na preservação das características de qualidade como: pH, acidez titulável e açúcares totais durante 300 dias de armazenamento. Os teores de carotenoides e polifenóis extraíveis totais mostraram redução acentuada no acondicionamento da polpa a vácuo. A forma mais indicada de congelamento do pequi para a manutenção da cromaticidade é o acondicionamento do caroço a vácuo ou em bandeja com filme de PVC.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a aplicação de produtos alternativos e de refrigeração, com posterior aplicação de etileno, sobre a qualidade de ameixas ‘Reubennel’, a fim de prolongar o período de comercialização. Os produtos aplicados logo após a colheita foram: biomassa cítrica (Ecolife®)- 150 mL (p.c.) 100 L-1 por 30 s; vapor de etanol - 2 mL kg-1 por 2 h (20ºC/80%UR), e cloreto de cálcio (CaCl2) - 1% (p/v) por 10 min. Em seguida, os frutos foram armazenados a 0ºC/95%UR. Após 17 e 33 dias, três caixas de cada tratamento, com 40 frutos cada, foram removidas da câmara de refrigeração, sendo uma das caixas segregada para análises, enquanto as outras duas foram transferidas para 20oC/85%UR por mais 4 dias. Destas caixas, uma de cada tratamento foi submetida à climatização, através da aplicação de etileno (100 uL L-1, 72 h) em minicâmara (200 L). Procedeu-se à avaliação da qualidade dos frutos ao zero; 17; 17+4; 33 e 33+4 dias, através de análises físico-químicas, microbiológicas e sensoriais. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente, em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado para os produtos alternativos e em fatorial (4x2) para a combinação com a climatização. Concluiu-se que o tratamento pós-colheita das ameixas com vapor de etanol reduz a população microbiana, bem como proporciona incremento dos sólidos solúveis. As ameixas ‘Reubennel’ podem ser armazenadas por até 33 dias sob refrigeração (0ºC/95%UR), seguindo-se a climatização com etileno e,imediatamente, comercializadas.

The hydroformylation reaction represents one of the most important C1-chemistry area in the chemical industry. This catalytic process, which has been developed up to now mainly to the production of commodities chemicals, has shown a remarkable potential for the preparation of several categories of specialty chemicals and in particular pharmaceutical compounds. Arylpropanoic acids, various amines containing aryl groups, and intermediates for the preparation of vitamins, carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds and many other classes of organic molecules endowed with pharmacological activity are currently accessible in good-to-high yields through hydroformylation of selected olefinic substrates. The asymmetric hydroformylation is going to reach the stage of maturity and hence to contribute in solving many troublesome synthetic problems connected with the preparation of pharmacologically active compounds with very high enantiomeric purity. The present survey emphasizes the usefulness of synthesis gas as a starting material in fine chemistry, which is expected to be important for industry.

This paper describes a chromatographic method to fractionate volatile oils and to identify their sesquiterpenic constituents. The fractionation process includes flash chromatography over silica gel and chromatography over silica gel/AgNO3, utilising pentane, CH2Cl2 and/or acetone as eluents. GC chromatograms were obtained in order to get the relative percentage of each constituent in the volatile oils, to get the retention time value of them as well as to analyse and combine the fractions eluted from the columns. Such procedure afford mixtures of sesquiterpenes which are analysed by GC/MS, 13C and ¹H NMR.

Herein we describe the isolation of homarine and piridiniumbetaine B from the sponge Aaptos sp. Although homarine has a common occurrence among animals, piridiniumbetaine B was only recently isolated from the marine sponge Agelas dispar. The isolation of piridiniumbetaine B from two taxonomically distant marine sponges corroborate previous assumptions that such betaines should be regarded rather as primary metabolites. We have also isolated (9-[5'-(methylthio)-beta-D-xylofuranosyl]adenine (xylosyl-MTA) from the mantle of a nudibranch identified as Doris aff. verrucosa. The occurrence of xylosyl-MTA in the mantle of this animal strongly suggests that it is the same nudibranch species described for the Mediterranean sea. We have been unable to detect any other compound in the mantle extract of D. aff. verrucosa other than xylosil-MTA and sterols. GC-MS analysis of the sterol fraction from the nudibranch and its prey, the sponge Hymeniacidon aff. heliophila, revealed the occurrence of the ubiquitous sterols, cholesterol, brassicasterol, cholestanol, 24-methylcholesterol and 24-ethylcholesterol, as the only common metabolites, therefore precluding any assumption concerning the sequestration of secondary metabolites by the nudibranch from H. aff. heliophila.

This work describes the more promising chemical and pharmacological or biological results obtained with some selected Brazilian medicinal plants, which has been conducted at Núcleo de Investigações Químico-Farmacêuticas (NIQFAR)/UNIVALI in the last five years. It was found that several phytoconstituents exhibit different activities, such as antispasmodic, antiallergic, analgesic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial and antiviral. Some of them were more potent than some well-known standard drugs used clinically.

In the area of drug discovery, natural products represent a myriad of templates for new lead discovery. It is, however, most unlikely that the bioactive principle itself shall become a drug; it is much more likely that a medicinal chemistry project needs to be initiated as soon the potency or selectivity or specificity of the new natural product candidate has been disclosed. Brazil has an enormous biodiversity where just a few has been disclosed. Nevertheless, it urges to initiate a joint collaboration in order to circumvent a major breakdown linking between natural products and medicinal chemistry in this country. This paper is intended to encourage people to follow up one of the most pushing forward enterprise that needs to be settled: the pharmaceutical industry.

A flow injection spectrophotometric procedure was developed for the determination of metamizol in pharmaceutical formulations. The system is based on the reaction between metamizol and triiodide generated in the system by mixing iodate and iodide-starch solutions. The absorbance of triiodide-starch complex giving a steady-state baseline value which was monitored at 580 nm. The inverse peaks caused by metamizol samples were measured and there was a direct relationship between absorbance decreasing and metamizol concentration from 1.4 x 10-4 to 7.0 x 10-4 mol L-1. The RSD was 0.45 % for a metamizol solution 4.2 x 10-4 mol L-1 (n = 10) with a detection limit (three-fold blank standard deviation/slope) of 6.0 x 10-5 mol L-1 The feasibility of the system was demonstrated for the determination of metamizol in commercial samples with sixty results obtained per hour. The results obtained for metamizol in pharmaceutical formulations using the proposed flow procedure and those obtained using an iodimetric procedure are in agreement at the 95% confidence level and within an acceptable range of error.
