ABSTRACT

O presente estudo investigou as atividades antinociceptiva e antiedematogênica do extrato etanólico das folhas de J. princeps através dos testes de contorções abdominais, formalina, placa quente e edema de pata induzido por carragenina. O extrato etanólico reduziu (p < 0,05) as contorções abdominais (100 mg/kg = 55,75±1,29 e 200 mg/kg = 47,75±1,35) quando comparado ao grupo controle (67,25±1,51). Ambas as fases do teste de formalina foram inibidas (p < 0,05): 1ª fase (50 mg/kg = 79,50±1,12; 100 mg/kg = 69,37±1,03 e 200 mg/kg = 56,75±1,95) e 2ª fase (50 mg/kg = 86,50±1,22; 100 mg/kg = 69,62±1,66 e 200 mg/kg = 49,37±1,50). Após 90 min de tratamento, o limiar nociceptivo dos animais quando avaliados no modelo de placa quente foi aumentado de forma significativa com o extrato nas doses de 100 mg/kg (8,12±0,48) e 200 mg/kg (10,25±0,45) quando comparados com o grupo controle (6,62±0,46). Após 3 h de aplicação da carragenina, a dose de 200 mg/kg (0,43±0,02) reduziu o edema de pata em relação ao grupo controle (0,55±0,04). Este efeito também foi observado nas doses de 100 mg/kg (0,52±0,04) e 200 mg/kg (0,45±0,02) após 4 h de experimento (controle = 0,63±0,03). Estes resultados sugerem que J. princeps pode constituir uma fonte de substâncias ativas com atividades antinociceptiva e antiedematogênica.


The antinociceptive and anti-edematogenic activities of ethanol extract of Joannesia princeps leaves were investigated in male rats. The responses tested were acetic acid writhing, paw licking induced by formalin, hot plate and carrageenan-induced paw edema. The ethanol extract reduced (p<0.05) the abdominal contortions (100 mg/kg = 55.75±1.29 and 200 mg/kg = 47.75±1.35) in comparison with the control group (67.25±1.51). Both phases of paw lick were inhibited (p < 0.05): 1st phase (50 mg/kg = 79.50±1.12; 100 mg/kg = 69.37±1.03; 200 mg/kg = 56.75±1.95; controls 84.37±1.91) and 2nd phase (50 mg/kg = 86.50±1.22; 100 mg/kg = 69.62±1.66; 200 mg/kg = 49.37±1.50; controls 91.87±1.31). After 90 min of treatment, the reaction time on the hot plate increased at the doses 100 mg/kg (8.12±0.48) and 200 mg/kg (10.25±0.45), compared to the control group (6.62±0.46). After 3 h of application of carrageenan, a dose of 200 mg/kg (0.43±0.02) inhibited the paw edema, compared to the control group (0.55 ± 0.04). This effect was also observed at doses of 100 mg/kg (0.52±0.04) and 200 mg/kg (0.45±0.02) after 4 h of the experiment (control = 0.63 ± 0.03). These results suggest that the Brazilian arara-nut tree, J. princeps, could constitute a source of active substances with antinociceptive and anti-edematogenic activities and, after further tests, may help to validate the use of this plant in popular medicine.
