Resumo
Exopolissacarídeos do tipo β-glucanas são polímeros produzidos por uma grande variedade de microrganismos e podem possuir diferentes propriedades físicas, químicas e aspectos estruturais. Esses biopolímeros apresentam atividades biológicas interessantes (antitumor, antiviral, anticoagulante) e aplicações comerciais como produtos em alimentos, cosméticos e farmacêuticos. Entretanto, para a aplicação dessas moléculas, é necessário primeiramente o conhecimento de suas estruturas químicas. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi a produção, caracterização química de quatro exopolissacarideos (EPSGRAVIOLA, EPSMANGA, EPSPINHA e EPSLARANJA) de isolados de Botryosphaeria obtidos de frutas tropicais em decomposição e crescidos em sacarose como única fonte de carbono, determinando o melhor EPS para realizar testes de atividade anticoagulante. A homogeneidade de cada EPS foi determinada por cromatografia de filtração em gel, os quais eluíram como um único pico. Hidrólise ácida total e análise por HPAEC/PAD mostrou glucose como constituinte básico. Dados de metilação e RMN de 13C indicaram que os EPSMANGA, EPSPINHA e EPSLARANJA são glucanas lineares unidas por ligações do tipo β(1®6) e o EPSGRAVIOLA é uma glucana com ligações β(1®3) e com ramificações em C-6 de resíduos glucopiranosídicos. O espectro de FT-IR mostrou uma banda em 891 cm-1, e a espectroscopia de 13C NMR mostrou que todas as ligações eram do tipo β. Estudos realizados com o corante Vermelho Congo indicaram que os EPS possuem conformação em tripla hélice. O EPSLARANJA, uma b- D-(1®6)-glucana, foi submetido a sulfatação visando induzir a atividade anticoagulante e melhorar a solubilidade da molécula em solução, importante para a atividade biológica. Espectros de FT-IR mostraram bandas em 808 and 1252 cm-1, indicando a entrada dos grupos sulfato e as análises de RMN de 13C mostraram...
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) as β-glucans are polymers produced by a great variety of microorganisms and can possess different physical and chemical properties, and structural features. These biopolymers having interesting biological activities (antitumor, anti-viral, anticoagulant), and commercial applications in foods, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. However, for the applications of these macromolecules, it is first necessary to understand their chemical structures. Therefore the goal of that study was the production, chemical characterization and biological activity of four exopolysaccharides (EPSGRAVIOLA, EPSMANGO, EPSPINHA and EPSORANGE) obtained from Botryosphaeria strains isolated from rotting tropical fruit grown on sucrose as carbon and the best EPS was used for the anticoagulant activity The homogeneity of each EPS was determined by gel filtration chromatography, which was eluted as a single peak. Total acid hydrolysis and HPAEC/PAD analysis of each EPS yielded only glucose. Data from methylation analysis and 13C NMR spectroscopy indicated that the EPSMANGO, EPSPINHA and EPSORANGE consisted of a linear chain of (1-6)- linked glucopyranosyl residues and EPSGRAVIOLA consisted of a main chain of glucopyranosyl (1-3) linkages substituted at O-6. FTIR spectra showed one band at 891 cm-1, and 13C NMR spectroscopy showed that all glucosidic linkages were of the β-configuration. Dye-inclusion studies with Congo Red indicated that each EPS existed in a triple-helix conformational state. The EPSORANGE, a β-(1®6)- D-glucan was submitted to a sulfation to induce anticoagulant activity and also to make this EPS more soluble, which is in favor to its biological action. The FT-IR spectrum showed bands at 808 and 1252 cm-1 indicating insertion of sulfonyl groups and the 13C NMR analysis showed that the sulfonyl groups were inserted mainly in C-4 of the b(1®6)-D-glucan...
