Age determination on monazite from Forefinger Point granulites, East Antarctica (Table 2.6-1)

Electron microprobe (EMP) dating on monazite in granulite- facies rocks from Forefinger Point, East Antarctica, yielded dominant ages of 500 Ma on matrix monazites.They are associated with secondary cordierite, biotite and sapphirine, formed during nearly isothermal decompression after the high P-T assemblages involving garnet, orthopyroxene and sillimanite. Older ages around 750-1000 Ma are detected in monazite cores and in monazite inclusions in garnet porphyroblast. Combining the available age data and the reaction textures, it becomes evident that the Forefinger Point granulites have been overprinted by a granulite-facies decompressional event of Pan-African age. Moreover, EMP monazite dating imply that the Forefinger Point granulites have experienced at least two stages of metamorphic evolution.

Obtenção de álcool alílico (PROP-2-EN-1-OL) a partir da glicerina derivada do biodiesel de óleo de mamona

In this work, biodiesel was produced from castor oil that was a byproduct glycerin. The molar ratio between oil and alcohol, as well as the use of (KOH) catalyst to provide the chemical reaction is based on literature. The best results were obtained using 1 mol of castor oil (260g) to 3 moles of methyl alcohol (138g), using 1.0% KOH as catalyst at a temperature of 260 ° C and shaken at 120 rpm. The oil used was commercially available, the process involves the reaction of transesterification of a vegetable oil with methyl alcohol. The product of this reaction is an ester, biodiesel being the main product and the glycerin by-product which has undergone treatment for use as raw material for the production of allyl alcohol. The great advantage of the use of glycerin to obtain allyl alcohol is that its use eliminates the large amount of waste of the biodiesel and various forms of insult to the environment. The reactions for the formation of allyl alcohol was conducted from formic acid and glycerin in a ratio 1/1, at a temperature of 260oC in a heater blanket, being sprayed by a spiral condenser for a period of 2 hours and the product obtained contains mostly the allylic alcohol .. The monitoring of reactions was performed by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer: FTIR Fourier transform, the analysis showed that these changes occur spectrometer indicating the formation of the product allylic alcohol (prop-2-en-1-ol) in the presence of water, This alcohol was appointed Alcohol GL. The absorption bands confirms that the reaction was observed in (υ C = C) 1470 -1600 cm -1 and (υ CO), 3610-3670 attributed to C = C groups and OH respectively. The thermal analysis was carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer SDT Q600, where the mass and temperature are displayed against time, that allows checking the approximate rate of heating. The innovative methodology developed in the laboratory (LABTAM, UFRN), was able to treat the glycerine produced by transesterification of castor oil and used as raw material for production of allyl alcohol, with a yield of 80%, of alcohol, the same is of great importance in the manufacture of polymers, pharmaceuticals, organic compounds, herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals

Estudio de las modificaciones conformacionales y su influencia en la actividad inmunológica de péptidos derivados de las familias de las proteínas spect-1 y -2, siap-1 y -2 de plasmodium falciparum

SPECT-1 y -2 y SIAP-1 y -2 son proteínas pertenecientes al esporozoíto de Plasmodium falciparum causante de la malaria más agresiva en los humanos. Estas proteínas están involucradas en el paso del parásito a través de las células del hospedero humano y en la invasión del hepatocito, haciéndolas blancos atractivos para ser estudiadas. Péptidos conservados de alta capacidad de unión (cHABPs) a células HeLa y HepG2 derivados de estas moléculas son no inmunogénicos porque son incapaces de generar una respuesta inmunitaria, pero son claves para el parásito porque cumplen una función importante durante la infección del hospedero humano. En este trabajo se encontró que algunos cHABPs pertenecientes a las proteínas SPECT-1 y -2, están posiblemente involucrados con la unión y formación de poros sobre la membrana de las células hospederas, ayudando al esporozoíto a abrirse paso través de las células del hospedero. Por otro lado, con el fin de cambiar el comportamiento inmunológico de cHABPs derivados de SPECT-1 y -2 y SIAP-1 y -2, se obtuvieron nuevos péptidos mediante el reemplazo de aminoácidos críticos por otros residuos cuya masa molecular sea similar, pero diferente en su polaridad. En este trabajo se reporta que dichas modificaciones promovieron cambios en la estructura secundaria (determinada por DC o 1H-RMN) de los péptidos modificados (mHABPs) cuando se comparó con la estructura de los cHABPs nativos; adicionalmente, estos mHABPs invirtieron su comportamiento inmunológico convirtiéndose en péptidos inmunogénicos inductores de anticuerpos. Lo que permite establecer la existencia de una relación entre la estructura que adoptan estos mHABPs con su actividad inmunológica. Además, algunos de los mHABPs estudiados aquí, pueden ser candidatos a ser incluidos en la vacuna contra la malaria químicamente sintetizada multi-epitope y multi-estadio que se está desarrollando en la Fundación Instituto de Inmunología de Colombia (FIDIC).

Evaluation of natural and synthetic compounds according to their antioxidant activity using a multivariate approach

The antioxidant activity of natural and synthetic compounds was evaluated using five in vitro methods: ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydradzyl (DPPH), oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAL), oxidation of an aqueous dispersion of linoleic acid accelerated by azo-initiators (LAOX), and oxidation of a meat homogenate submitted to a thermal treatment (TBARS). All results were expressed as Trolox equivalents. The application of multivariate statistical techniques suggested that the phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, carnosic acid, genistein and resveratrol), beyond their high antioxidant activity measured by the DPPH, FRAP and TBARS methods, showed the highest ability to react with the radicals in the ORAC methodology, compared to the other compounds evaluated in this study (ascorbic acid, erythorbate, tocopherol, BHT, Trolox, tryptophan, citric acid, EDTA, glutathione, lecithin, methionine and tyrosine). This property was significantly correlated with the number of phenolic rings and catecholic structure present in the molecule. Based on a multivariate analysis, it is possible to select compounds from different clusters and explore their antioxidant activity interactions in food products.
