ABSTRACT

Resumen En el ensayo de migración global para empaques plásticos destinados a alimentos grasos se emplea triheptadecanoato de glicerilo (GTM) como patrón interno para la cuantificación de los ésteres metílicos de ácidos grasos (FAMEs) por cromatografía de gases. En este trabajo se evaluaron 3-fenil propanoato de etilo (EFP) y ácido tetradecanóico (AM) como patrones internos alternativos. El uso de AM presentó comportamiento lineal (r > 0,99 y %Sb < 5%), buena precisión intermedia (HORRATr % 0,9) y exactitud (%R % 100,6%). En contraste, la evaluación del EFP, demostró que este no es un patrón interno adecuado para la cuantificación de FAMEs. De otra parte, se evaluó estadísticamente que no hay diferencias significativas en el cálculo de la migración global a partir de FAMEs cuantificados usando como patrón interno GTM o AM, mientras que el uso de EFP sí presenta diferencias significativas.


Abstract In the global migration test for plastic packaging intended for fatty foods, glyceryl triheptadecanoate (GTM) is used as the internal standard for the quantification of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by gas chromatography. In this work, ethyl 3-phenyl propanoate (EFP) and tetradecanoic acid (AM) were evaluated as alternative internal standards The use of AM presented linear behavior (r > 0.99 and %Sb < 5%), good intermediate precision (HORRATr % 0.9), and accuracy (%R % 100.6%). In contrast, the evaluation of EFP demonstrated that this is not an adequate internal standard for the quantification of FAMEs In addition, it was statistically evaluated that there are no significant differences in the calculation of the global migration from FAMEs quantified using either GTM or AM as internal standards, but the use of EFP presents significant differences.


Resumo No ensaio de migração global para embalagens plásticas destinadas aos alimentos gordurosos, é usado o triheptadecanoato de glicerina (GTM) como padrão interno para a quantificação dos ésteres metílicos de ácidos gordos (FAMEs) mediante cromatografia em fase gasosa. Neste papel foram avaliados 3-fenil propanoato de etilo (EFP) e ácido tetradecanóico (AM) como padrões internos alternativos O (AM) apresentou comportamento linear (r > 0,99 e %Sb < 5%), boa precisão intermédia (HORRATr % 0,9) e precisão (%R % 100,6%). Em contraste, a avaliação do (EFP), mostrou que este não é um padrão interno adequado para a quantificação de FAMEs Por outro lado, uma avaliação estatística indicou que não há diferenças significativas no cálculo da migração global de FAMEs quantificadas utilizando como padrão interno GTM ou AM, em contrapartida o uso do EFP apresenta diferenças significativas.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were obtained from vegetable oils of soybean, corn and sunflower. The current study was focused on evaluating the antifungal activity of FAMEs mainly against Paracoccidioides spp., as well as testing the interaction of these compounds with commercial antifungal drugs and also their antioxidant potential. FAMEs presented small IC50 values (1.86-9.42 μg/mL). All three FAMEs tested showed antifungal activity against isolates of Paracoccidioides spp. with MIC values ranging from 15.6-500 µg/mL. Sunflower FAMEs exhibited antifungal activity that extended also to other genera, with an MIC of 15.6 μg/mL against Candida glabrata and C. krusei and 31.2 μg/mL against C. parapsilosis. FAMEs exhibited a synergetic effect with itraconazole. The antifungal activity of the FAMEs against isolates of Paracoccidioides spp. is likely due to the presence of methyl linoleate, the major compound present in all three FAMEs. The results obtained indicate the potential of FAMEs as sources for antifungal and antioxidant activity.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Fatty acids are abundant in vegetable oils. They are known to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. METHODS: Antifungal susceptibility was evaluated by broth microdilution assay following CLSI (formerly the NCCLS) guidelines against 16 fungal strains of clinical interest. RESULTS: In this work, fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) was able to inhibit 12 clinical strains of the pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and were also active in the bioautographic assay against Cladosporium sphaerospermum. CONCLUSIONS: FAME was a more potent antifungal than trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole against P. brasiliensis under the experimental conditions tested.


INTRODUÇÃO: Os ácidos graxos são abundantes em óleos vegetais. Eles são conhecidos por suas propriedades antibacterianas e antifúngicas. MÉTODOS: A suscetibilidade a antifúngicos foi avaliada pelo ensaio de microdiluição em caldo de acordo com CLSI (anteriormente NCCLS) sobre 16 isolados de interesse clínico. RESULTADOS: Nesse trabalho, os ésteres metílicos de ácidos graxos (FAME) inibiram doze isolados clínicos do fungo patogênico Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, e também foi muito ativo no ensaio de bioautografia sobre o fungo Cladosporium sphaerospermum. CONCLUSÕES: FAME foi um antifúngico mais potente do que sulfametoxazol-trimetoprim contra P. brasiliensis, nas condições utilizadas no presente trabalho.

ABSTRACT

Fatty acids are widely occurring in natural fats and dietary oils and they are known to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. However, little is known on the antibacterial and antifungal properties of the blind-your-eye mangrove (Excoecaria agallocha) and this study for the first time determines the fatty acid composition and the antibacterial and antifungal activities of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) of the blind-your-eye mangrove plant found along the coastal areas of south India.


Gorduras naturais e óleos são abundantes em ácidos graxos que apresentam atividade antibacteriana e antifúngica. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre a atividade antibacteriana e antifúngica de ésteres metílicos de ácidos graxos de mangue "blind-your-eye" (Excoecaria agallocha). Esse estudo relata, pela primeira vez, a composição em ácidos graxos e a atividade antibacteriana e antifúngica de ésteres metílicos de ácidos graxos (FAME) de mangue "blind-your-eye" encontrado ao longo de áreas costeiras do sul da India.
