ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis control is a high priority for the Ministry of Health from Peru. In the present work the inhibitory effect of both metanolic (MeOH) and ethyl acetate (AcOEt) crude extracts and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of both wild plants and in vitro plantlets of Plumbago scandens L. -Plumbaginaceae- against multidrug-resistance (MDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were determined. The plant material was constituted by roots and seeds, collected in the Motupe (Lambayeque) area. The in vitro plantlets were obtained from seedlings and micropropagated by shoot tips and nodal segments in Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture medium. The microbiological material consisting of one control strain and two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) was cultivated using the Lowenstein–Jensen culture medium. The MIC values varied from 0,65 to 1,3 mg/mL. Bacterial strains showed more sensitivite to the AcOEt crude extract. The GC analysis of the plant material showed the presence of the naphtoquinone plumbagin and other aromatic compounds. In conclusion, the MeOH y AcOEt crude extracts from roots of the wild plants and MeOH crude extract of in vitro plantlets of P. scandens showed a strong inhibitory activity against MDR strains of M. tuberculosis.


El control de la tuberculosis es un objetivo de alta prioridad para el Ministerio de Salud del Perú. En el presente trabajo se determinó el efecto inhibitorio de los extractos crudos metanólico (MeOH) y de acetato de etilo (AcOEt), expresados como concentración mínima inhibitoria (CMI) de plantas silvestres y plántulas in vitro de Plumbago scandens L. (Plumbaginaceae) sobre cepas multidrogoresistente (MDR) de Mycobacterium tuberculosis. El material vegetal estuvo constituido por raíces de plantas silvestres, en tanto que las plántulas in vitro fueron obtenidas de semillas y micropropagadas en medio de cultivo Murashige y Skoog (MS). El material microbiológico, constituido por una cepa control y dos cepas resistentes a isoniacida (INH) y rifampicina (RIF), fue cultivado en medio de cultivo Lowenstein-Jensen. Los valores CMI variaron entre 0,65 y 1,3 mg/mL, mostrándose más sensibles las cepas bacterianas frente al extracto crudo de AcOEt de plantas silvestres. El análisis cromatografía de gases (GC) determinó la presencia de la naftoquinona plumbagina y otros compuestos aromáticos. En conclusión, los extractos crudos de MeOH y AcOEt de raíces de plantas silvestres y extracto crudo de MeOH de plántulas in vitro de P. scandens ejercieron una fuerte acción inhibitoria sobre cepas MDR de M. tuberculosis.
