O diterpeno clerodano trans-desidrocrotonina (1), constituinte majoritário de Croton cajucara, tem sua ocorrência correlacionada com o uso dessa planta na medicina popular. Investigações fitoquímicas levaram ao isolamento dos metabólitos 1, cajucarinolida (6), isocajucarinolida (7), trans-crotonina (2), trans-cajucarina B (3), cis-cajucarina B (4), transcajucarina A (5), N-metiltirosina, ácido vanílico e ácido 4-hidróxi-benzóico. 6 e 7 foram sintetizados em bons rendimentos através da oxidação de 1 com oxigênio-singlete. Todos os clerodanos foram ensaiados frente a células da leucemia humana K562 e do carcinoma de Ehrlich. Os efeitos inibitórios do crescimento celular foram dependentes da dose para os ensaios com o carcinoma de Ehrlich com IC 50 = 166 μM (1), 164 μM (2), 65 μM (6) e 10 μM (7). Além disso, atividade citotóxica moderada foi observada contra as células da leucemia K562 com IC 50 = 38 μM (3), 33 μM (5), 36 μM (6) e 43 μM (7). Os 6 e 7 semi-sintéticos mostraram resultados semelhantes quando comparados com os correspondentes clerodanos naturais.The clerodane-type diterpene, trans-dehydrocrotonin (1) the major component of Croton cajucara has shown striking correlation with its therapeutic use in traditional folk medicine. Phytochemical investigations led to the isolation of the metabolites 1, cajucarinolide (6), isocajucarinolide (7), trans-crotonin (2), trans-cajucarin B (3), cis-cajucarin B (4), trans-cajucarin A (5), N-methyltyrosine, vanillic acid and 4-hydroxy-benzoic acid. 6 and 7 were synthesized in good yield by regiospecific oxidation of 1 using singlet-oxygen. All clerodanes were studied for their cytotoxic effects against human K562 leukemia and Ehrlich carcinoma cells. Ehrlich carcinoma assays with IC 50 = 166 μM (1), 164 μM (2), 65 μM (6) and 10 μM (7) related to cell growth inhibitory effects were dose dependent. Furthermore, moderate cytotoxic activity against K562 leukemia cells was observed with IC 50 = 38 μM (3), 33 μM (5), 36 μM (6) and 43 μM (7). The semi-synthetic 2, 6 and 7 showed similar results when compared to the corresponding natural clerodanes.

RESUMO:Croton cajucara Beth (Euphorbiaceae) uma espécie medicinal nativa da região Amazônica do Brasil, onde é vulgarmente conhecida como 'sacaca', representa um recurso terapêutico efi caz no tratamento e cura de várias doenças. O metabólito majoritário transdesidrocrotonina (DCTN), isolado das cascas do caule desta planta, encontra-se correlacionado com grande parte das propriedades medicinais da sacaca. Este artigo de revisão, descreve os resultados fi toquímicos e farmacológicos que foram realizados com o diterpeno do tipo clerodano DCTN, bem como seus derivados semi-sintéticos. Adicionalmente, apresenta perspectivas para a biodisponibilização deste protótipo de fármaco em nanosistemas. Unitermos:Croton cajucara, trans-desidrocrotonina, DCTN, fi toquímica, atividade biológica, nanobiotecnologia.ABSTRACT: "A review of the biologic activities of trans-dehydrocrotonin, a natural product obtained from Croton cajucara". Croton cajucara Beth (Euphorbiaceae) is a plant found in the Amazonian Region of North Brazil, where it is popularly known as sacaca. The major secondary metabolite, trans-dehydrocrotonin (DCTN) a clerodane-type diterpene, isolated from the stem bark is a chief bioactive compound of Croton cajucara. This review describes results of extensive pharmacological studies of DCTN, as well as its semi-synthetic derivatives, and also presents insights into the use of DCTN as a therapeutic agent and some potential advantages of its incorporation in drug delivery systems.
