Química e farmacologia de quimioterápicos antineoplásicos derivados de plantas

Abstract: Recebido em 11/9/09; aceito em 2/2/10; publicado na web em 18/6/10 CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGY OF ANTINEOPLASIC CHEMOTERAPEUTICAL DERIVATIVES FROM PLANTS. This review demonstrates the importance of plants as sources of molecules used in anticancer therapies. The approach is performed by relating the active molecules to their origins, details, mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationship and chemical characteristics of chemotherapeutical medicines. It was also described the development of anticancer age… Show more

“…Altogether, these results indicate that the effect of ASL on S. aureus was predominantly bactericidal, with similar percentages of both dead cells (26%) and reduced bacterial numbers (25%), while its effect on K. pneumoniae and E. faecalis is probably both bacteriostatic and bactericidal, corroborating the data showed in table III. organisms and microorganisms (Newman and Cragg 2012, Brandão et al 2010, Mendes et al 2010.…”

“…A classical example of an emergent microorganism is methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is virtually resistant to all antibiotics, except for vancomycin (Rossi 2011). Not less important, cancer, caused by disorders on cell proliferation, is the second leading cause of death in the world, the first in developed countries, and its mortality will probably continue to increase in the next years (Brandão et al 2010, Jemal et al 2011. However, the drugs currently available to treat those conditions present a variety of side effects and are not effective in many situations.…”

“…More than two thirds of the drugs used in cancer treatment come directly from natural products or are developed using knowledge gained from the activity of their ingredients [4]. A variety of such natural products are, for example, vincristine, vinblastine, paclitaxel, docetaxel, etoposide, doxorubicin, among others [5]. Many mono-and sesquiterpenes, widely found in essential oils isolated from different species, are also known in the literature for their potent antitumor effects [6].…”

“…The search for new anti-cancer drugs is one of the most prominent research areas in natural product chemistry (Brandão et al, 2010). Numerous active compounds that have been isolated from Brazilian Bioma plant species have been studied, with promising results (Mesquita et al, 2009).…”
