Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae), popularly known as ‘mangabeira’, has been used in folk medicine to treat inflammatory disorders, hypertension, dermatitis, diabetes, liver diseases and stomach disorders. Regarding the Hancornia speciosa fruits, the ethnobotany indicates its use especially for treating inflammation and tuberculosis. However, no study has been done so far to prove such biological activities. The objective was evaluation anti-inflammatory activity from the fruits of Hancornia speciosa Gomes (mangabeira). Aqueous extract was prepared by decoction, subsequently submitted the liquid-liquid fractionation. The secondary metabolites were identified by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with detector diode array (HPLC-DAD) and liquid chromatography diode array detector coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-DAD-MS). The anti-inflammatory properties of the aqueous extract, dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and n-butanol (n-BuOH) fractions of the fruits from H. speciosa, as well as rutin and chlorogenic acid were investigated using in vitro and in vivo models. In vivo tests comprised the xylene-induced ear edema that was measured the formation of edema, carrageenan-induced peritonitis was evaluated the total leukocytes at 4h and zymosan-induced air pouch was measured the total leukocytes and differential cell count at 6, 24 and 48 hours, whereas in vitro tests were evaluated levels of cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α using ELISA obtained of carrageenan-induced peritonitis model. The results showed the presence of rutin and chlorogenic acid were detected in the aqueous extract from H. speciosa fruits by HPLC-DAD and LC-DAD-ME. Furthermore, the aqueous extracts and fractions, as well as rutin and chlorogenic acid significantly inhibited the xilol-induced ear edema and reduced cell migration in the animal models such as carrageenan-induced peritonitis and zymosan-induced air pouch. In addition, reduced levels of cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α were observed. This is the first study that demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effect of aqueous extract from Hancornia speciosa fruits against different inflammatory agents in animal models, suggesting that their bioactive molecules, especially rutin and chlorogenic acid contributing, at least in part, to the anti-inflammatory effect of aqueous extract. These findings support the widespread use of Hancornia speciosa in popular medicine and demonstrate that this aqueous extract has therapeutic potential for the development of a herbal drugs with anti-inflammatory properties.

The monoaromatic compounds are toxic substances present in petroleum derivades and used broadly in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Those compounds are continuously released into the environment, contaminating the soil and water sources, leading to the possible unfeasibility of those hydrous resources due to their highly carcinogenic and mutagenic potentiality, since even in low concentrations, the BTEX may cause serious health issues. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop and search for new methodologies that assist and enable the treatment of BTEX-contaminated matrix. The bioremediation consists on the utilization of microbial groups capable of degrading hydrocarbons, promoting mineralization, or in other words, the permanent destruction of residues, eliminating the risks of future contaminations. This work investigated the biodegradation kinetics of water-soluble monoaromatic compounds (benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene), based on the evaluation of its consummation by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, for concentrations varying from 40 to 200 mg/L. To do so, the performances of Monod kinetic model for microbial growth were evaluated and the material balance equations for a batch operation were discretized and numerically solved by the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The kinetic parameters obtained using the method of least squares as statistical criteria were coherent when compared to those obtained from the literature. They also showed that, the microorganism has greater affinity for ethylbenzene. That way, it was possible to observe that Monod model can predict the experimental data for the individual biodegradation of the BTEX substrates and it can be applied to the optimization of the biodegradation processes of toxic compounds for different types of bioreactors and for different operational conditions.

Vegetable oils are characterized as important raw materials in the supplying of natural substances of interest pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industry. Sunflower oil stands out for its important composition present in unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid (C18:1) and linoleic (C18:2), responsible for many health benefits. The main objective of this study is obtain enriched fractions in unsaturated compounds from refined sunflower oil. The oil used in this study was characterized by the determination of some properties, like iodine number, acid number and viscosity. A transesterification was done to transform the triglycerides into their corresponding methyl esters of fatty acids. These was submitted the molecular distillation process, for present as an efficient alternative to separation and purification of these substances, using high vacuum and low temperatures. Of the esters fractions that was obtained, were analyzed by gas chromatography. The experimental design technique was used to evaluate the influence of the temperature variation of evaporation and condensation system on the percentage obtained residue. The evaporator temperature proved to be the most influential variable on the studied response. The optimized conditions for the answer was studied at 100 °C for evaporator temperature and 10 °C for the condenser temperature. The graph of "split ratio" showed that for the lowest flow feed (1 mL/min) and higher evaporator temperature (110 °C) was obtained in the largest fraction of distillate. It also used the study of the influence of evaporator temperature on the concentration of unsaturated compounds. The best operating conditions for temperature was 90 °C reached 82.21 % of unsaturated compounds. Elimination curves of the unsaturated compounds present in the distillate stream were obtained. The simulation results of the molecular distillation process of sunflower oil showed the concentration profiles for three different feed flow rates. The speed, temperature and thickness profiles of the liquid film were obtained. The speed of the film increases as the fluid flows through the walls of the evaporator, reaching a maximum on length of 0.075 m. The film thickness decreases on the route, since many compounds are volatilized. The result of the temperature profile had to be consistent with the literature reproduced, being constant after reaching the maximum operating temperature in the length of 0.15 m. This study allowed characterizing and focusing, through experimental analysis, unsaturated compounds and observing the sunflower oil´s behavior through process simulation.

We present the results of electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and x-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements in Tb1−xYxRhIn5 (x = 0.00, 0.15, 0.4.0, 0.50 e 0.70) single crystals. Tb1−xYxRhIn5 is an antiferromagnetic AFM compound with ordering temperature TN ≈ 46 K, the higher TN within the RRhIn5 serie (R : rare earth). We evaluate the physical properties evolution and the supression of the AFM state considering doping and Crystalline Electric Field (CEF) effects on magnetic exchange interaction between Tb3+ magnetic ions. CEF acts like a perturbation potential, breaking the (2J + 1) multiplet s degeneracy. Also, we studied linear-polarization-dependent soft x-ray absorption at Tb M4 and M5 edges to validate X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy as a complementary technique in determining the rare earth CEF ground state. Samples were grown by the indium excess flux and the experimental data (magnetic susceptibility and specific heat) were adjusted with a mean field model that takes account magnetic exchange interaction between first neighbors and CEF effects. XAS experiments were carried on Total Electron Yield mode at Laborat´onio Nacional de Luz S´ıncrotron, Campinas. We measured X-ray absorption at Tb M4,5 edges with incident polarized X-ray beam parallel and perpendicular to c-axis (E || c e E ⊥ c). The mean field model simulates the mean behavior of the whole system and, due to many independent parameters, gives a non unique CEF scheme. XAS is site- and elemental- specific technique and gained the scientific community s attention as complementary technique in determining CEF ground state in rare earth based compounds. In this work we wil discuss the non conclusive results of XAS technique in TbRhIn5 compounds.

The current scenario of the Brazilian poultry production is defined by high productivity motivated by exports to markets with elevated levels of sanitary requirement. The work aimed to evaluate the efficacy of chlorinated compounds (chlorine dioxide, dichloro and trichloro) and organic acids (citric, lactic and peracetic acids) in reducing the contamination of poultry by Salmonella spp., mesophiles and enterobacteriaceae. Were isolated 102 strains Salmonella spp. poultry carcass from June to September 2014. Strains were identified by PCR. Was determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial compounds for the standard strains of S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis and S. Heidelberg. MIC of lactic acid and peracetic acid (20 to 10 g/L) was applied in strains of Salmonella spp. isolated from the slaughter. The MIC of the compounds lactic acid and sodium dichloro was applied in contaminated chiller water with Salmonella (109 CFU/mL) and this was determined Salmonella count in water. Thighs and drumsticks poultry were contaminated with S. Heidelberg (109 UFC/mL) and were applied dichloro (60 mg/L), lactic acid (20 g/L) and sodium hypochlorite (5,0 and 0,5 mg/L) compounds. In the identification by PCR, 93,1% of the strains were identified as Salmonella. For sodium dichloro the MIC was 60 mg/L for 15 minutes to S. Heidelberg and 60 mg/L for 20 minutes for S. Enteritidis. Lactic acid presented MIC of the 5 g/L for 10 minutes to S. Enteritidis 10 g/L for 15 minutes to S. Typhimurium and 20 g/L for 20 minutes to S. Heidelberg. For peracetic acid, MICs were 10 g/L for 10 minutes to S. Typhimurium and S. Heidelberg and 10 g/L for 20 minutes to S. Enteritidis. To citric acid, MICs were 10 g/L for 10 minutes to S. Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis and 25 g/L for 20 minutes to S. Heidelberg. In the isolated Salmonella strains, lactic acid inhibited 97,89% of the strains and peracetic inhibited 100% of the strains. In contaminated chiller water, the compounds reduced the growth of standards strains. When applied to contaminated poultry meat, there was a reduction of Salmonella spp. 1,06 log10 CFU/g relative to the positive control with the use of sodium hypochlorite at 5,0 mg/L, 0,97 log10 CFU/g with dichloro and 0,56 log10 CFU/g with sodium hypochlorite 0,5 mg/L. For mesophiles reduction observed was 0,90 log10 CFU/g relative to the positive control with the use of sodium hypochlorite at 5,0 mg/L, 0,83 log10 CFU/g with dichloro and there isn´t reduction with hypochlorite with sodium 0,5 mg/L. For enterobacteriaceae reduction was 1,0 log10 CFU/g relative to the positive control with the use of sodium hypochlorite at 5,0 mg/L, 0,79 log10 CFU/g with dichloro and 0,22 log10 CFU/g with sodium hypochlorite at 0,5 mg/L. Lactic acid inhibit growth of the microorganisms tested. The data supports the discussions to regulate the use of the technology coadjuvants in the slaughter of poultry.

Nesta tese descreve-se a síntese de compostos multiporfirínicos covalentes bem como a avaliação da potencial utilização destes compostos como quimiossensores de iões metálicos e para a construção de estruturas supramoleculares com fulerenos. No capítulo 1 desta tese é feita uma introdução à química, propriedades e aplicações das porfirinas e sistemas multiporfirínicos. Relativamente aos sistemas multiporfirínicos é feita uma revisão bibliográfica acerca das estratégias de síntese e abordagem geral à química supramolecular de sistemas porfirina-fulereno. No capítulo 2 são apresentados os resultados referentes à síntese e caracterização dos vários sistemas multiporfirínicos desenvolvidos neste trabalho. De um modo geral, a síntese desses compostos envolveu reações de substituição aromática nucleofílica. Para esse efeito foi necessário preparar porfirinas de partida contendo grupos nucleofílicos nas posições meso (-C6H4OH e -C6H4NH2). Os sistemas multiporfirínicos foram obtidos por reações entre as porfirinas de partida e hexafluorobenzeno ou 5,10,15,20tetraquis(pentafluorofenil)porfirina. Descreve-se também a síntese de uma díade porfirina-C60 e de uma pentíade contendo quatro unidades de porfirina e uma de C60, envolvendo reações de cicloadição 1,3-dipolar e de substituição aromática nucleofílica. Os estudos efetuados ao nível da aplicação de alguns dos novos sistemas multiporfirínicos sintetizados e de um dos seus precursores, a 5-[4(pentafluorofeniloxi)fenil]-10,15,20-trifenilporfirina, como sensores de iões metálicos encontram-se descritos no capítulo 3. Neste capítulo, a título introdutório, é feita uma breve abordagem aos quimiossensores colorimétricos e de fluorescência, apresentando também alguns exemplos de porfirinas como quimiossensores de iões metálicos já descritos na literatura científica. A caracterização fotofísica dos compostos em estudo também é descrita neste capítulo. Os compostos estudados mostraram capacidade de interagir com vários iões metálicos, verificando-se um aumento da seletividade para o ião Hg2+ com o aumento do número de unidades porfirínicas constituintes dos sistemas multiporfirínicos. Os resultados referentes aos estudos de complexação de alguns dos sistemas multiporfirínicos sintetizados com fulerenos encontram-se descritos no capítulo 4. Neste capítulo descreve-se também a caracterização fotofísica dos compostos em estudo. Os estudos realizados com os sistemas multiporfirínicos mostraram uma fraca interação com os fulerenos C60 e C70. No entanto, os valores das constantes de afinidade obtidos com 1-metil-2-(4piridil)[60]fulero[c]pirrolidina mostraram que os sistemas multiporfirínicos apresentam capacidade para formar complexos com este derivado de C60 por coordenação axial e por interações π-π. No capítulo 5 é discutido o trabalho que envolveu o desenvolvimento de novos métodos na síntese de derivados tetrapirrólicos do tipo pirrolo[3,4-b]porfirinas contendo um grupo NH livre no anel exocíclico. A estratégia de síntese requereu a preparação de uma clorina fundida com um anel pirrolina seguida da redução do anel pirrolina. Deste modo obteve-se uma nova clorina fundida com um anel pirrolidina contendo um grupo NH livre. Esta nova clorina foi usada na preparação de uma díade clorina-porfirina por reação de N-arilação com 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(pentafluorofenil)porfirina. A estrutura cristalina da nova díade foi resolvida por difração de raios-X de cristal único. A estrutura dos compostos sintetizados foi estabelecida recorrendo a diversas técnicas espectroscópicas nomeadamente ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN de 1H, 13C e 19F), espectrometria de massa e espectrofotometria de UVvis. No último capítulo desta tese descrevem-se, pormenorizadamente, todas as experiências efetuadas, incluindo os métodos de síntese, purificação e caracterização estrutural dos diversos compostos sintetizados bem como as medições espectrofotométricas e espectrofluorimétricas.

Esta dissertação reporta a síntese de novos derivados de 4-quinolonas com potencial atividade biológica e está dividida em 3 capítulos. No primeiro capítulo é feita uma breve introdução aos compostos do tipo 4quinolona, azepina e indol, focando a nomenclatura, atividade biológica e métodos de síntese mais comuns deste tipo de compostos, e é apresentada a nomenclatura dos compostos sintetizados ao longo deste trabalho. No segundo capítulo são descritas as metodologias desenvolvidas para obtenção dos compostos pretendidos. Foram sintetizados novos derivados de 4-quinolonas via reações de N-metilação seguida de ciclização in situ da (E)-N(2-acetilfenil)-3-(2-nitrofenil)acrilamida, via reações de redução da 1-metil-2-[2(2-nitrofenil)vinil]quinolin-4(1H)-ona e reações de halogenação da 1-metil-2-[2(2-nitrofenil)vinil]quinolin-4(1H)-ona e da 2-[2-(2-aminofenil)vinil]-1metilquinolin-4(1H)-ona. Posteriormente, fizeram-se estudos de reatividade da 1-metil-2-[2-(2-nitrofenil)vinil]quinolin-4(1H)-ona e da 2-[2-(2-aminofenil)vinil]-3bromo-1-metilquinolin-4(1H)-ona. Na reação de redução in situ seguida de ciclização intramolecular da 1-metil-2-[2-(2-nitrofenil)vinil]quinolin-4(1H)-ona obteve-se a 2-(1H-indol-2-il)-1-metilquinolin-4(1H)-ona. Partindo da 2-[2-(2aminofenil)vinil]-3-bromo-1-metilquinolin-4(1H)-ona via reações de BuchwaldHartwig obteve-se a 11-metil-5H-benzo[6,7]azepino[3,2-b]quinolin-6(11H)-ona. Novas N-[2-(2-(3-bromo-1-metil-4-oxo-1,4-di-hidroquinolin-2il)vinil)fenil]alquilamidas foram obtidas via reações de acilação da 2-[2-(2aminofenil)vinil]-3-bromo-1-metilquinolin-4(1H)-ona em piridina seca usando diferentes cloretos de acilo. Numa tentativa de ciclização intramolecular da N[2-(2-(3-bromo-1-metil-4-oxo-1,4-di-hidroquinolin-2-il)vinil)fenil]-hexanamida via reação de Ullmann intramolecular foi obtida a 2-(1-hexanoil-1H-indol-2-il)-1metilquinolin-4(1H)-ona. Após a descrição detalhada das metodologias de síntese são apresentadas as principais conclusões deste trabalho e perspectivas futuras. Por último, no terceiro capítulo, são apresentados os procedimentos experimentais usados para obtenção dos compostos sintetizados e os dados relativos à sua caracterização estrutural, que foi sendo discutida ao longo do segundo capítulo. Os compostos sintetizados foram caracterizados por espetroscopia de ressonância magnética nuclear monodimensional (1H e 13C) e bidimensional (HSQC, HMBC) e por espetrometria de massa e sempre que possível por espetrometria de massa de alta resolução.

Quando produtos alimentícios e especiarias são contaminados por micotoxinas é quase impossível detoxificar utilizando processos usuais da indústria de alimentos ou durante o preparo doméstico. Por isso, controlar o crescimento do fungo e a produção de toxinas é uma demanda para garantir a segurança alimentar. Os agrotóxicos são rotineiramente utilizados como estratégia para proteger as plantas de doenças provocadas pela contaminação fúngica. No entanto, eles estão associados a efeitos adversos ao sistema nervoso central e periférico, têm ação imunodepressora e são cancerígenos. Em virtude disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a inibição do desenvolvimento, do potencial toxigênico e da expressão gênica de linhagens do Complexo Fusarium graminearum por compostos naturais comparativamente aos fungicidas azoxistrobina e trifloxistrobina. Do farelo de arroz, foram extraídos o γ-orizanol e os ácidos fenólicos (EFF). Das sementes de nim foram extraídos os ácidos fenólicos (EFN), totalizando três extratos naturais. A capacidade antioxidante dos extratos foi verificada pelo consumo do radical livre DPPH• , capacidade de captura do radical ABTS●+, redução do ferro e inibição da oxidação enzimática. Os mecanismos de inibição de três linhagens de F. graminearum foram avaliados através da determinação de compostos estruturais (glicosamina e ergosterol) e da atividade de enzimas do metabolismo primário (α- amilase e proteases). Foram determinadas as micotoxinas de Fusarium: deoxinivalenol (DON), 15 acetildeoxinivalenol (15AcDON), 3 acetildeoxinivalenol (3AcDON), nivalenol (NIV) e zearalenona (ZEA). A expressão dos genes Tri1 e Tri5 foi determinada a fim de verificar se ocorria modificação da expressão gênica nas linhagens do Complexo F. graminearum ocasionada pela presença dos antifúngicos. O EFF apresenta atividade antioxidante destacada em relação aos demais extratos naturais para inibir a iniciação do processo, a propagação do radical livre e a catálise enzimática. A presença dos compostos naturais mostrou efeito promissor como antifúngico para as linhagens, sendo que a concentração necessária para inibir 50% do crescimento radial das colônias (MIC50) foi 0,9 g/kg para γ-orizanol; 0,032 g/kg para EFF e 0,037 g/kg para EFN, portanto, os extratos fenólicos são mais eficazes para inibição de F. graminearum do que o γ-orizanol. Os extratos naturais afetaram as atividades das enzimas α-amilase e proteases. Também ocorreu a redução da formação de componentes estruturais (glicosamina e ergosterol). Os extratos naturais se destacaram pela capacidade de inibição de micotoxinas produzidas pela biomassa fúngica, com destaque para o EFN sobre a produção de DON, 15AcDON, 3AcDON e ZEA. Sendo assim, é possível dizer que há uma relação direta entre a atividade antioxidante na inibição do fungo e na manifestação do seu potencial toxigênico. Além disso, esse estudo contribuiu com a elucidação do mecanismo de ação dos antifúngicos naturais estudados. Ocorre modificação na expressão gênica quando a linhagem é submetida ao tratamento com antifúngico, havendo uma relação direta entre a expressão do gene Tri5 e a produção de DON.

El objetivo es identificar las acciones técnicas de las karatekas que consiguen puntuar en competición y explorar si el comportamiento técnico puede discriminar entre diferentes niveles competitivos. Se ha registrado el comportamiento técnico de 35 karatekas, modalidad de kumite femenino, en un total de 40 combates (18 de nivel regional/nacional y 22 de nivel internacional). Se ha utilizado un diseño observacional situado en el cuarto de cuadrante de carácter nomotético y de seguimiento multidimensional. El registro se ha realizado con el programa Lince y una herramienta de observación "ad hoc" formada por un sistema mixto de formatos de campo y un sistema de categorías denominado FCSCSHIAIKUMITE. Se ha utilizado la prueba de Chi-cuadrado (p< 0,05) y se ha realizado un análisis de coordenadas polares, escogiendo como conductas focales aquellas relativas a la puntuación y como conductas condicionadas todas aquellas relativas a los demás criterios. Los resultados muestran que solo el criterio puntuación discrimina entre ambos niveles de rendimiento, sumando 152 puntos en nivel internacional frente a 78 en nivel nacional (p= 0,002). El Yuko es la forma de obtener punto más frecuentada en ambos niveles (76,4% vs 86,8%), no obstante, el Ippon es eficiente y frecuentado a nivel internacional (21,7%), y solo representa un 4,4% en combates de nivel nacional. En conclusión, hay dos aspectos que podrían ser de especial atención, el perfeccionamiento de las acciones técnicas de punto más habituales y de las acciones defensivas a esas técnicas, así como la eficacia para obtener más puntuación al utilizarlas.

The southern region of Brazil, especially the states of Parana and Santa Catarina stand out for growing grapes and apples for fresh consumption and in order to add value to these products, process the material for the production of wine, juices and jellies . As a result large quantities of by-products, such as peels, seeds and pulp are produced becoming environmental problems. Studies reuse of these by-products have attracted interest because they have shown a high biological potential, due to the presence of high levels of phenolic compounds, which are associated with a lower incidence of disease caused by oxidative stress, due to its antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antibacterial properties. Currently, few studies are presented on the phenolic composition and biological potential of waste grape variety Bordô (Vitis labrusca) and apple (Malus domestica) Gala variety, cultivated in southern Brazil. Within this context, the objectives of this study were: compare the efficiency of solidliquid and liquid-liquid extraction, perform the optimization and validation of analytical methodology by HPLC-DAD for the separation, identification and quantification of multiclass phenolic compounds, evaluate the activity antioxidant by sequestering methods of free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1 picrilhidrazina (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis (3- ethyl-benzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) solution, reduction of Fe3+ in Fe2+ method (FRAP), ORAC, RP-HPLC-ABTS online, Rancimat and determination of total phenolics three agro-industrial byproducts, pomace and stems grape Bordô produced in Paraná Southwest region and Gala apple pomace coming from the Santa Catarina West. Optimization and validation of chromatographic method showed satisfactory quality parameters for the compounds of interest and the solidliquid extraction was more efficient in extracting phenolic evaluated. The three byproducts evaluated showed significant levels of phenolic compounds when analyzed by HPLC, especially flavonoids, catechin and epicatechin besides that showed significant antioxidant capacity. The grape stems extract had the highest sequestration capacity of DPPH and ABTS radical and reduced iron, and high content of phenolic compounds. The apple pomace extract showed the best response to the Rancimat method, which indicates a high potential to protect the oil from lipid oxidation, was no significant difference when compared to synthetic antioxidant TBHQ. The results of this study showed that the agro-industrial coproducts analyzed are rich in phenolic compounds of high antioxidant capacity and therefore must be better explored by the food and pharmaceutical industries.
