A anemia falciforme (AF) é a doença hematológica hereditária crônica de maior prevalência no Brasil, causada por uma mutação pontual no gene da β-globina, levando as hemácias a adquirirem formato de foice quando em estado desoxigenado. Essa alteração estrutural causa aumento da adesão celular, hipóxia local, vaso-oclusão e alterações na coagulação. O quadro clínico dos pacientes é diversificado, predominando a dor causada pelo processo inflamatório agudo e crônico, além de complicações que podem ocasionar infarto de tecidos e órgãos, levando à morte. O único fármaco aprovado pelo FDA disponível para o tratamento da doença é a hidroxiuréia (HU), mas, devido a sua toxicidade, têm sido intensificadas as buscas por novas possibilidades terapêuticas. O fator de necrose tumoral alfa (TNF-α) é uma citocina pró-inflamatória presente em grande quantidade nos pacientes portadores da doença, e o óxido nítrico pode contribuir para vasodilatação e proteção vascular. Assim, propôs-se a síntese e avaliação farmacológica de candidatos a fármacos para o tratamento da AF, desenhados com o propósito de apresentar propriedades inibidoras do TNF-α e doadoras de óxido nítrico (NO). Foi avaliada a estabilidade química dos compostos sintetizados, em água, pH 1,2 e pH 7,4, sendo o Composto II o mais estável tanto em pH ácido como em água. Em pH básico, todos os compostos se mostraram instáveis. Os compostos III e VI apresentaram uma maior inibição da agregação plaquetária, atividade também atribuída à capacidade de doação de NO. O composto III foi o único a mostrar-se inibidor de TNF-α e IL-1β, em todas as concentrações avaliadas, e, também, mostrou-se inibidor de NO, no teste induzido por LPS. Diante de todos os ensaios realizados, o composto III é o mais promissor candidato a fármaco, entre os compostos sintetizados, para o tratamento dos sintomas da anemia falciforme.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by accumulation of lipid and fibrous components in arterial vessels, giving rise to atheromas. Development of Atheromatou plaques leads to arterial steatosis, triggering ischemic events. Atherotrombosis has a strong correlation with atherosclerosis, where rupture of atheromatous plaques cause release of vessel wall's pro-thrombotic components, activating platelet aggregation and thromosis. Due to the major role played by platelets on thrombus-embolic conditions, drugs that inhibit platelet aggregation demonstrate great relevance for atherothrombosis prevention, reducing patient mortality. Currently, there are a variety of drugs acting on several different targets, preventing platelet activation. However, these therapies demosntrate side effects such as thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, hemorrhage and low oral availability. Thus, the application of molecular modifications such as hybridization can produce novel, more efficient antiplatelet aggregation inhibitors. In this project we describe the synthesis and characterization of novel N-acilhydrazone compounds, acting through multiple mechanisms such as platelet calcium chelation and nitric oxide donation by furoxanic subunits. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such compounds exhibit biological activity in in vivo bleeding time, in vitro antiplatelet aggregation and in vivo antinociceptive assays. Therefore, novel N-acilhydrazone compounds demonstrate potential as antiplatelet drugs for atherothrombosis prevention.

There are several possibilities to understand the importance of school education, so this literature review article is to show through the sociological theory of Pierre Bourdieu that the school is not defined as a social concept of equalization, but a collaboration for the reproduction of structural society. And to be consistent with this action, the school tends to emphasize the hegemonic concepts, so that acts consciously or unconsciously on the aggregation of cultural heritage, imposed by the ruling class, ie, the layers of the corporate elite.

Oeceoclades aculate (Lindl.) Lindl., an invasive orchid, was analyzed as to its reproductive phenology and spatial distribution, correlation between abundance of mature and immature individuals, and verifying these with microclimate patterns in the Cerrado (savanna-like vegetation) of Mogi Guacu, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. For the reproductive phenology 100 plants were followed and the distribution pattern was identified by the Morisita Index (MI) and the Variance Ratio/Average (R) in 20 plots of 20x10m, reduced to 10x10m afterwards. The phenology presented seasonality, with flowering from November to February, fructification from February to June, and dehiscence from June to July. Mature and immature individuals aggregated and correlated to each other, indicating dependence between the ontogenetic stages. The luminosity was the preponderant microclimatic factor in the allocation of plants. Seasonal climatic changes and intensity of anthropogenic disturbances seem to be more important for the establishment of the species than microclimate.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical gas, inorganic, which has seven electrons of nitrogen and oxygen eight, possessing an unpaired electron. This radical is produced from L-arginine by a reaction mediated by the enzyme NO synthase. NO it is about a radical of who acts abundant on a variety of biological processes, particularly when produced by endothelial cells plays a significant role in cardiovascular control, as a modulator of peripheral vascular resistance and platelet aggregation. This free radical has also a neurotransmitter and mediator of the immune system. NO kidney function has been considered in many physiological functions such as: (a) regulation of hemodynamics and glomerular function tubuloglomerular, (b) participation in pressure natriuresis (c) maintaining medullar perfusion (d) inhibiting sodium reabsorption tubular, and (e) acting as a modulator of the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Given these functions, the occurrence of its deficiency is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in vasoconstriction and consequently glomerular hypertension, high blood pressure (HBP), proteinuria and progression of renal dysfunction. This work has the scope to describe the role of NO in renal physiology and pathophysiology of CKD.
