The objective was to analyse the anti-inflammatory potential of the invasive coral species Tubastraea coccinea and Tubastraea tagusensis.
Methanolic extracts, fractions and synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory ability, and their composition was elucidated through chemical analysis.
The genus Tubastraea (Order Scleractinia, Family Dendrophylliidae) (known as sun corals) presents compounds with pharmacological value. The introduction of these azooxanthellate hard corals into Brazil, initially in Rio de Janeiro state, occurred through their fouling of oil and gas platforms from the Campos oil Basin. The two invasive species have successfully expanded along the Brazilian coast and threaten endemic species and biodiversity. The HPLC-MS and GC-MS data suggest the presence of aplysinopsin analogues (alkaloids). Anti-inflammatory activity was observed in all samples tested in in-vivo assays, especially in T. coccinea. The ethyl acetate fraction from this sample was more effective in in-vitro assays for anti-inflammatory activity. Depending on the concentration, this fraction showed cytotoxic responses.
These species have potential pharmacological use, and considering their invasive nature, this study presents a potential alternative use, which may enhance the management of this biological invasion.
本研究的目标是分析入侵珊瑚物种红管珊瑚(Tubastraea coccinea)和泰格斯红管珊瑚(Tubastraea tagusensis)的抗炎潜力。
评估了甲醇提取物、分馏物和合成化合物的抗炎能力,并通过化学分析阐明了它们的成分。
管珊瑚属(硬珊瑚目,树状珊瑚科)(被称为太阳珊瑚)具有药理价值的化合物。这些无共生硬珊瑚被引入巴西,最初是在里约热内卢州,通过康普斯油田的油气平台的污垢。这两种入侵物种已成功扩展到巴西海岸,并威胁到特有物种和生物多样性。高效液相色谱-质谱和气相色谱-质谱数据表明存在阿普利西诺普信类似物(生物碱)。在所有经过体内实验测试的样品中观察到抗炎活性,特别是在红管珊瑚中。来自这个样品的乙酸乙酯分馏物在体外抗炎活性实验中更为有效。根据浓度不同,这个分馏物显示出细胞毒性反应。
这些物种具有潜在的药理用途,考虑到它们的入侵性质,这项研究提出了一个潜在的替代用途,可能增强对这种生物入侵的管理。
