Resumo
A explosão respiratória está fortemente associada ao processo inflamatório, uma vez que diversos compostos antioxidantes estão envolvidos na potencialização ou neutralização deste processo. Diversos peróxidos inorgânicos e orgânicos são produzidos durante esse processo, como os hidroperóxidos de lipídio. Hidroperóxidos de lipídio são estáveis, extremamente reativos e podem induzir a apoptose celular. Tais lipídios modificados podem ser produzidos durante o processo inflamatório induzido pelas fosfolipases A2 (PLA2) que constituem o veneno de serpentes, que possui como consequência de sua atividade catalítica a produção de ácido araquidônico pela quebra de fosfolipídios de membrana, e estes então seriam oxidados por espécies reativas de oxigênio (ROS), formando os hidroperóxidos araquidônicos, que agravam o quadro inflamatório. Deste modo, nesse trabalho avaliamos o efeito protetor de compostos polifenólicos e extratos ricos em tais compostos de diferentes espécies vegetais no curso da inflamação e miotoxidade e no efeito inflamatório pró-oxidante induzido pela PLA2 purificada de veneno crotálico e botrópico. Nossos resultados mostraram que diversos compostos polifenólicos são capazes de diminuir os efeitos provocados pela PLA2, interagindo diretamente, inibindo a enzima e possivelmente atuando na captura de ROS.
Respiratory burst is strongly associated with inflammatory process, since several antioxidant compounds are involved in potentiation or neutralization of this process. Various inorganic and organic peroxides are produced during this process such as lipid hydroperoxides. Lipid hydroperoxides are stable, highly reactive and can induce cellular apoptosis. Such modified lipids can be produced during the inflammatory process induced by phospholipases A2 (PLA2) which are present in snake venom, and produces, because of its catalytic activity, arachidonic acid by the breakdown of membrane phospholipids, and these would then be oxidized by reactive oxygen species (ROS), forming the arachidonic hydroperoxides, which aggravates inflammation. Thus, in this work we evaluated the protective effect of polyphenolic compounds and extracts rich in such compounds of different plant species throughout the inflammation and myotoxicity and in pro-oxidant effect induced by PLA2 purified from bothrops and crotalus venom. Our results showed that polyphenolic compounds can decrease effects caused by PLA2, by directly interaction, inhibiting the enzyme and possible acting to capture ROS.
