A descoberta de agentes hipoglicemiantes constitui ainda um grande desafio no tratamento do diabetes, devido ao elevado índice de efeitos adversos e à baixa eficácia dos fármacos existentes. As alfa-glicosidases, enzimas essenciais ao metabolismo dos açúcares, são alvos terapêuticos estratégicos para a descoberta e desenvolvimento de fármacos antidiabéticos. Na busca de novos modelos estruturais com atividade antidiabética, o presente projeto teve como objetivo a síntese de aminochalconas e nitrochalconas como inibidores potenciais de alfaglicosidases. Para atingir o objetivo delineado foi planejada a síntese de 4’-nitrochalconas através da condensação de Claisen-Schmidt, que conduziriam à obtenção das respectivas 4’- aminochalconas na presença de cloreto de estanho II como agente redutor. Ao todo foram sintetizadas 14 substâncias, sendo 6 nitrochalconas e 8 aminochalconas que foram purificadas utilizando-se técnicas cromatográficas tais como Cromatografia em Coluna e Cromatografia em Camada Delgada Preparativa. A identificação espectroscópica foi realizada por Ressonância Magnética Nuclear de 13C e 1H. As chalconas sintetizadas foram avaliadas por meio de ensaios de inibição de alfa-glicosidases de Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As substâncias 10 e 14 apresentaram valores de CI50 (concentração capaz de inibir em 50% a atividade enzimática) de 1,23 e 1,88 μM respectivamente, mostrando-se mais potentes que a acarbose (CI50 4,90 μM), a qual foi empregada como controle positivo. Os dados de CI50 revelaram que a presença de hidroxilas no anel B, bem como a posição e o número desses substituintes é de fundamental importância para a inibição da atividade enzimática. Em contrapartida, a presença de grupos doadores ou receptores de elétrons no anel A é pouco significativa para a inibição de

Medical Physics has been reaching an important role among several lines in Science, providing means for the improvement of several theories and procedures. Currently, its main application is related with the use of ionizing radiations, specially, in treatment procedures such as Radiotherapy. Radiosurgery is a Radiotherapy technique which consists in administering a single tumoricidal dose of radiation exclusively to the tumorous lesion. It becomes then an interesting alternative to surgical treatment, mainly in cerebral metastases, which are the most frequent cerebral tumors in the central nervous system. The radio neurosurgical team works out a planning for the Radiosurgery treatment, aiming for obtaining an appropriate ideal treatment for each case. For the working out of this treatment planning, Computed Tomography images of the region to be treated are obtained, digitalized and later, fused with nuclear magnetic resonance images. Through these images, critical structures, organs at risk and lesions are localized. After this, calculations are made to determine three-dimensional positions of isocenters, isodose curves, prescribed dose, collimators sizes, position, numbers and respective weight of isocentric conformal fields, and others. The treatment planning is commonly based in desired levels of dose for specific types of tumors and organs at risk concerning the irradiated region. Theses levels of dose are chosen in a way that a high probability of cure may be achieved and meanwhile, that the probability of complications, in whichever organ at risk, may be minimal. Thus, many researches have been carried out, showing that mathematical techniques may help to obtain an optimal planning for the treatment of cerebral metastases. Among the methods of optimization in the study...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Using the sol-gel process, organic-inorganic hybrid coatings were synthesized by incorporation of different concentrations of functionalized carbon nanotubes, to improve their mechanical strength and thermal resistance without changing its passivation character. The siloxane-PMMA hybrids were prepared by radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with 3-methacryloxipropiltrimethoxisilane (MPTS) using the thermal initiator benzoyl peroxide (BPO), followed by acid catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The analysis of pristine and functionalized carbon nanotubes was carried out using Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Raman Spectroscopy. Structural analysis of hybrids was performed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Atomic Force Microscopy and Raman Spectroscopy. For analysis of mechanical strength and thermal stability were performed mechanical compression tests and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy was used to evaluate the corrosion resistance in saline environment. The results showed an effective functionalization of carbon nanotubes with carboxyl groups and conservation of its structure. The hybrids showed high siloxane network connectivity and roughness of approximately 0.3 nm. The incorporation of carbon nanotubes in the hybrid matrix did not change significantly their thermal stability. Samples containing carbon nanotubes exhibit good corrosion resistance (on the order of MΩ in saline environment), but the lack of complete dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the hybrid, resulted in a loss of mechanical and corrosion resistance compared to hybrid matrix.
