Resumo
Tuberculose (TB) é uma doença infecciosa e curável transmitida pelo ar. A taxa de mortalidade reduziu globalmente em 2007, entretanto, TB-MDR, XDR e a coinfecção TB/HIV têm sufocado as tentativas de controle da TB, causando sofrimento e morte em todo o mundo. Adicionalmente, um terço da população mundial está infectada com o Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) em estado de latência, o qual serve como reservatório para TB ativa. A rifampicina (RMP), descoberta há mais de 40 anos, representa a última classe de antibióticos introduzida como fármaco de primeira-linha no tratamento da TB. No esforço de sanar esta falha, é crescente a importância da Química Medicinal Inorgânica como um aliado na pesquisa de novos fármacos contra TB. É bem conhecido que alguns elementos metálicos desempenham papel fundamental nos seres vivos. Tem sido relatado desde 1970 que compostos de rutênio (Ru) exibem atividade anti-tumoral. Inclusive, alguns destes compostos se encontram na fase clínica de avaliação. Compostos de Ru foram avaliados também em nosso laboratório demonstrando atividade contra MTB. Os complexos com Ru(II) demonstraram ser mais ativos contra o MTB em relação a forma do ligante livre, em até 150 vezes, com baixa citotoxicidade e alta seletividade. Os resultados promissores inspiraram a procura de uma melhor abordagem para explorar o perfil pré-clínico in vitro e in vivo desses compostos. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver uma linha de pesquisa (pipeline) com ensaios fenotípicos rápidos, sensíveis, específicos e de baixo custo na pesquisa de um novo fármaco contra TB. Paralelamente, avaliou-se os melhores complexos heterolépticos de Ru(II) com fosfinas, diiminas e picolinato como ligantes, pré-selecionados, frente a esse pipeline. Os resultados obtidos com os complexos... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo

The mortality rates decreased globally in 2007, however, MDR and XDR TB, and co-infection TB/HIV have stifled attempts to control TB causing suffering and death worldwide. Additionally, a third of the world population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in state of latency, which serves as a reservoir for active TB. Rifampicin (RMP), discovered more than 40 years ago, represents the last class of antibiotics introduced as first-line drug to treat TB. In an effort to correct this failure is an increasingly importance of Inorganic Medicinal Chemistry as an ally in the search for new drugs against TB. It is well known that some metallic elements play a fundamental role in living organisms. It has been reported since 1970 that compounds of ruthenium (Ru) exhibit anti-tumor activity. Even some of these compounds are in clinical phase of evaluation. Ru compounds were evaluated in our laboratory showing activity against MTB. Complexes with Ru(II) showed activity against MTB in relation to the free ligand up to 150 higher, with low cytotoxicity and high selectivity. The promising results inspired the search for a better approach to explore the pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo profile of these compounds. So, the objective of this study was to develop a research line (pipeline) fast, sensitive, specific and low-cost phenotypic testing in the search for a new drug against TB. At the same time the best complexes of heteroleptic Ru(II) phosphine/diimines/picolinate, pre-selected, against several biological in vitro and in vivo assays.
