Abstract
Annona cornifolia, popularly known as “araticum das caatingas” and “araticum mirim,” is native to the Brazilian Cerrado and used to treat chronic ulcers. Seeds of this species were investigated by our group, yielding annonaceous acetogenins that displayed several biological activities, such as larvicidal, cytotoxic, and antioxidant properties. This work aimed to characterize two mixtures of sugars obtained from seeds using 1H and 13C NMR and evaluate their antioxidant and Artemia salina larvicidal activities. The hydromethanolic fraction from the ethanolic extract after solvent partition was fractionated on a silica gel preparative plate and on a Sephadex LH-20 column, yielding a brown solid. Another part of this fraction was acetylated with pyridine and acetic anhydride, and the resultant material was fractionated on a silica gel column, yielding other solids. Two solids were characterized as mixtures of sugars, identified as β-d-fructopyranose, β-d-fructofuranose, 1,2,3,4,6-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranose, 1,2,3,4,6-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranose, 1,2,3,4,6-O-acetyl-α-d-fructofuranose, and 1,2,3,4,6-O-acetyl-β-d-fructofuranose. The samples showed antioxidant potential in DPPH and FRAP assays. The mixture of acetylated sugars exhibited high toxicity on A. salina at all concentrations tested, with an LC50 value of 0.311 µg/mL. This is the first report of the characterization of these sugars with these biological activities for this species.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Data Collections (CDC) provides a publication outlet for the increasing need to make research material and data easy to share and re-use. Publication of research data with CDC will allow scientists to: -Make their data easy to find and access -Benefit from the fast publication process -Contribute to proper data citation and attribution -Publish their intermediate and null/negative results -Receive recognition for the work that does not fit traditional article format. The research data will be published as ''data articles'' that support fast and easy submission and quick peer-review processes. Data articles introduced by CDC are short self-contained publications about research materials and data. They must provide the scientific context of the described work and contain the following elements: a title, list of authors (plus affiliations), abstract, keywords, graphical abstract, metadata table, main text and at least three references. The journal welcomes submissions focusing on (but not limited to) the following categories of research output: spectral data, syntheses, crystallographic data, computational simulations, molecular dynamics and models, physicochemical data, etc.
