Resumo
O protozoário hemoflagelado, Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitido principalmente pelo inseto triatomíneo, por infecção congênita ou por transfusão sanguínea, causa a tripanossomíase americana ou doença de Chagas, como é mais conhecida. Essa é uma séria doença parasitária que ocorre na América Latina, com considerável impacto social e econômico. Dois fármacos, nifurtimox e benzonidazol, são indicados no tratamento de pessoas infectadas, mas são pouco eficientes na fase aguda e praticamente ineficientes na fase crônica da doença. Devido a esses fatores, é de extrema importância que se encontre agentes quimioterápicos e/ou quimiopreventivos mais eficientes e eficazes. O presente trabalhou objetivou avaliar a influência no proteoma de T. cruzi de três substâncias extraídas de plantas da família Piperaceae, peperobtusina A e B de Peperomia obtusifolia e piplartina de Piper tuberculatum, através da eletroforese bidimensional (2D) – DIGE (Difference Gel Electrophoresis - GE Healthcare) associada à espectrometria de massas. O tratamento realizado com peperobtusina A de Peperomia obtusifolia em cepa Y de T. cruzi identificou proteínas de interesse, como proteína do bastão paraflagelar e triparedoxina peroxidase, importantes na composição flagelar e proteção natural do parasito ao estresse oxidativo, respectivamente. Os resultados obtidos com peperobtusina B de Peperomia obtusifolia na mesma cepa de T. cruzi mostraram proteínas que podem servir como interessantes alvos potenciais para futuro desenvolvimento de fármacos. São elas: calmodulina, tirosina aminotransferase e arginina quinase. Os resultados obtidos com o tratamento das cepas Y e Bol de T. cruzi pela piplartina de Piper tuberculatum demonstraram que apesar das diferenças de suscetibilidade dessas cepas em relação ao benzonidazol...

This is a serious parasitic illness that occurs in Latin America, with considerable social and economic impact.

Because of these factors, it is of extreme importance find efficient chemopreventive and/or chemotherapic agents. This work aims to evaluate the T. cruzi proteome influence of three substances extracted of plants belonging to Piperaceae family, being peperobtusine A and B of Peperomia obtusifolia and piplartine of Piper tuberculatum, through two dimensional electrophoresis (2D) - DIGE (Difference Gel Electrophoresis - GE Healthcare) and mass spectrometry. The treatment carried with peperobtusine A of P. obtusifolia in Y strain of T. cruzi identified interest proteins, as paraflagelar rod protein and triparedoxin peroxidase, important in the flagella composition and natural protection of oxidative stress, respectively. The results using peperobtusine B of the P. obtusifolia in Y strain of T. cruzi showed proteins that can be interesting potential targets for future development of drug. They are: calmodulin, tyrosine aminotransferase and arginine kinase. The results with the treatment of Y and Bol strains of T. cruzi with piplartine of P. tuberculatum demonstrated that although to the differences of susceptibility of these strains related to benznidazol, the piplartine was active for both strains as a similar way and modified the expression of enzymes involved in the protection of the parasitic to the...
