Citotoxicidade do extrato alcaloidal das vagens de Prosopis juliflora Swartz. D.C. (Algaroba) em células gliais

Abstract: A Prosopis juliflora é amplamente utilizada na alimentação humana e de várias espécies animais, especialmente bovinos. Quadros de intoxicação por esta planta, nesta espécie, têm sido relatados, principalmente quando a mesma é oferecida como única fonte alimentar, desencadeando uma doença de sintomatologia nervosa. Neste estudo, objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos in vitro da fração de alcalóides totais (FA) extraída das vagens da Prosopis juliflora utilizando cultura primária de astrócitos obtidos do córtex cerebr… Show more

“…Our previous study, developed in astrocyte primary cultures, also showed that, after a 24 h exposure, a crude extract containing alkaloids, obtained from P. julif lora pods, induced only cytotoxicity related to reducing succinate dehydrogenase activity and induction of membrane damage when administered at 30 μg/mL. 12 However, in another study, conducted in astrocyte primary cultures enriched with microglia, significant reductions in mitochondrial activity and a loss of membrane integrity were observed after exposure to 3 μg/mL TAE or F32 obtained from P. julif lora leaves. 13 In the central nervous system, astrocytes are the cells that respond to insults and metabolize xenobiotics as a mechanism of neuronal protection and stand out by having enzymatic machinery that allows them to develop both the phase I metabolism enzyme isoforms by system cytochrome P450 metabolism and phase II by glutathione transferase isoforms.…”

“…9,11 In vitro studies have shown that alkaloids from P. julif lora pods and leaves have a direct action in central nervous system cells, causing toxic and inflammatory effects and suggesting that some alkaloids or one alkaloidal fraction (F32) is the most effective in inducing cytotoxicity and reactivity in glial cells. 12,13 However, little is known about which alkaloids are present in this toxic fraction, and it is unknown whether these alkaloids have potential to induce mitochondrial disorders or vacuole formation on neuronal perikaryon that are the main neurohistologic and ultrastructural lesions visualized in intoxicated animals. 9−11 Neuronal vacuolization is not a specific finding of intoxication by P. julif lora and occurs in other diseases caused by eating herbivores plants of the genera Solanum, 14−17 Swainsona, Oxytropis, Astragalus, 18 and Ipomoea.…”
