The aim of this study was to test the effects of temperature on phenolic content of the brown seaweed Cystoseira amentacea. Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites involved in different protection mechanisms as, for example, against grazers, epiphytes and UV radiation. Seasonal variations of phenolic content in C. amentacea were analysed and laboratory experiments, in which C. amentacea was exposed to an increase of temperature (258C and 308C), were performed. Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined colorimetrically with the Folin -Ciocalteu reagent. In C. amentacea, a seasonal pattern in TPC was observed, with a maximum value in winter-spring. C. amentacea responded significantly to the temperature treatments with a consistent decrease in TPC after 48 h.

Petiveria alliacea L. is a plant used in traditional medicine harboring pharmacological properties with anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, hypoglycemiant and anesthetic activities. This study assessed the potential cytotoxic, genotoxic and mutagenic effects of ethanolic extract of P. alliacea on Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. S. cerevisiae FF18733 (wild type) and CD138 (ogg1) strains were exposed to fractioned ethanolic extracts of P. alliacea in different concentrations. Three experimental assays were performed: cellular inactivation, mutagenesis (canavanine resistance system) and loss of mitochondrial function (petites colonies). The chemical analyses revealed a rich extract with phenolic compounds such as protocatechuic acid, cinnamic and catechin epicatechin. A decreased cell viability in wild-type and ogg1 strains was demonstrated. All fractions of the extract exerted a mutagenic effect on the ogg1 strain. Only ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions increased the rate of petites colonies in the ogg1 strain, but not in the wild-type strain. The results indicate that fractions of mid-polarity of the ethanolic extract, at the studied concentrations, can induce mutagenicity mediated by oxidative lesions in the mitochondrial and genomic genomes of the ogg1-deficient S. cerevisiae strain. These findings indicate that the lesions caused by the fractions of P. alliacea ethanolic extract can be mediated by reactive oxygen species and can reach multiple molecular targets to exert their toxicity.

“…The antioxidant and antineoplastic activity of P. alliacea could result from the presence of different substances, including the flavonoids already reported in the species (DelleMonache and Suarez, 1992;Delle-Monache et al, 1996;Okada et al, 2008;Soares et al, 2013). Characterization of the arrays and the possibility of applying different methods of eliciting and monitoring the material produced in culture can guarantee the safe in vitro production of this material, making possible the therapeutic application of herbal and natural remedies.…”

“…22 m). Botanical characterization of these samples was previously reported (Soares et al, 2013) and the plants were classified as P. alliacea L. based on the morphological characteristics, as well as the herbaceous habit and garlic odor. However, plants collected from MH, VI, and NT were identified as belonging to the variety P. alliacea alliacea.…”

Petiveria alliacea L. is a native herbaceous species from the Amazon region traditionally used in folk medicine for its various pharmacological activities. This study aimed to perform a comparative assessment of genotoxic and antigenotoxic potential of field-and in vitro-grown plants. Specimens from different populations from Rio de Janeiro State were used as donor plants for in vitro culture on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Aqueous extracts from field and in vitro plants were evaluated by analyzing their effect on the integrity of pUC 9.1 plasmid. DNA genotoxic potential was assessed after treatment of plasmid DNA with increasing concentrations of aqueous extracts (1.0, 5.0 t o 10.0 mg/ml) from the populations studied and the in vitro plants originated from them. The electrophoretic analysis showed changes in the structural conformation of plasmid DNA, indicating the occurrence of single-and double-strand breaks caused by the extracts, demonstrating the genotoxic potential at higher concentrations. The antigenotoxic potential was assessed based on plasmid protection induced by the extracts after DNA treatment with stannous chloride. Thus, data also pointed to a antigenotoxic effect of extracts against oxidative damage. In addition, the intensity of the effect of extracts on plasmid DNA varied according to origin of plants.
