ABSTRACT

Digitalis purpurea L. es una de las principales fuentes de cardenólidos tales como digoxina y digitoxina. Estos fármacos son ampliamente usados en la disfunción cardíaca y para regular las arritmias del corazón. El presente trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de estudiar el efecto de tres elicitores en el cultivo de brotes de Digitalis purpurea var. Roter Berggold para incrementar la producción in vitro de cardenólidos. La elicitación es una estrategia para incrementar la producción de biomasa y metabolitos secundarios en el cultivo in vitro. Los elicitores evaluados fueron ChitoPlant (0,001; 0,01; 0,1 g.L-1); SilioPlant (0,01; 0,1; 1,0 g.L-1) y Jasmonato de metilo (60, 80 y 100 µM), descritos por primera vez para el incremento de cardenólidos. Se demostró que la elicitación es una estrategia viable para el incremento de cardenólidos en brotes de D. purpurea. El ChitoPlant®, redujo la altura sin afectación en el resto de las variables morfológicas evaluadas. Además indujo un incremento significativo en el contenido de cardenólidos. El SilioPlant® (0,01 g.L-1) no provocó afectaciones en la biomasa e incrementó significativamente la síntesis de cardenólidos en los brotes en 3,6 y 6,9 veces el contenido de digoxina y digitoxina respectivamente. La elicitación con el jasmonato de metilo provocó una reducción de la biomasa. Los contenidos de digoxina y digitoxina se incrementaron ligera y significativamente con 80 y 100 µM de jasmonato de metilo respectivamente. El mejor resultado integral se obtuvo con 0,01 g.L-1 de SilioPlant, el cual indujo la mayor producción neta de cardenólidos por frasco de cultivo (4,72 µg digoxina y 88,27 µg digitoxina).


Digitalis purpurea L. is one of the main sources of cardenolides such as digitoxin and digoxin. These drugs are widely used to strengthen cardiac diffusion and to regulate heart rhythm. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of three elicitors on shoots of Digitalis purpurea var. Roter Berggold in semisolid media in order to increase cardenolides biosynthesis. Elicitation is a strategy to increase biomass and secondary metabolites production on in vitro cultures. The elicitors evaluated were ChitoPlant (0,001; 0,01; 0,1 g.L-1); SilioPlant (0,01; 0,1; 1,0 g.L-1) and Methyl jasmonate (60, 80, 100 µM), which are reported here to induce cardenolide production for first time. Elicitation resulted an effective strategy to increase cardenolide production on D. purpurea shoot cultures. ChitoPlant induced a decrease in shoots length, but had no effect on the rest of morphological parameters evaluated. As well, ChitoPlant increased cardenolide content. SilioPlant (0,01 g.L-1) did not affect biomass production and at the same time, increased in 3,6-fold and 6,9-fold digoxin and digitoxin content respectively. Elicitation with Methyl jasmonate resulted in decreased biomass production. Digoxin and digitoxin content was slight and significantly increased by Methyl jasmonate 80 and 100 µM respectively. The best integral result was reached with 0,01 g.L-1 of SilioPlant, which induced the highest net yields per culture flask (4,72 µg of digoxin and 88,27 µg of digitoxin).

ABSTRACT

Este relato de caso aborda medicamento manipulado em farmácia magistral, que apresentou teor da substância ativa Digitoxina de 565% em relação ao declarado em sua rotulagem. A solicitação da análise do medicamento veio acompanhada de informe do médico e da autoridade sanitária, na qual o paciente apresentou quadro de intoxicação grave após uso. Este episódio ilustra a dificuldade da garantia da qualidade em estabelecimento de farmácias magistrais, no processo da manipulação de medicamentos de fármacos com índice terapêutico estreito como neste caso dos digitálicos

ABSTRACT

Two cardiac glycosides, namely digitoxin and digoxin when treated with goat blood, were found to alter the lipid constitution as measured by their phosphorus content, fatty acid composition and malonaldehyde content. There was significant increase in the poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and malonaldehyde contents in blood treated with these drugs. Possible correlation between the lipophilicity of the drugs and their biological activity is discussed.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo - Analisar a capacidade física de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (ICC), classes I e II da New York Heart Association (NYHA), submetidos à cicloergometria: 1) sob tratamento convencional com digital e diuréticos; 2) com um inibidor da enzima de conversão da angiotensina captopril, associado ao tratamento convencional; 3) usando captopril associado a digital e diurético. Métodos - Estudo randomizado e duplo cego utilizando 20 pacientes com ICC (I e II), submetidos ao teste cicloergométrico em diferentes fases terapêuticas. A carga inicial foi de 5 watts e aumentada progressivamente até o aparecimento de sintomas limitantes. Resultados - A introdução do captopril no esquema convencional de tratamento da ICC ou associado a digital e diurético promove significante aumento na duração do exercício físico, no consumo de oxigênio e na carga total desenvolvida, nos pacientes submetidos ao teste cicloergométrico. Conclusão - Nas formas iniciais de ICC, captopril melhorou a capacidade física dos pacientes em relação ao tratamento convencional e a terapêutica diurética pode ser substituída pelo inibidor da enzima de conversão da angiotensina com igual eficácia


Purpose - To analyze the physical performance of the patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), grades I and II of the New York Heart Association (NYHA), submitted to ergometric test: 1) under conventional treatment with digitalis and diuretic; 2) with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, associate with conventional treatment; 3) using captopril associated with digitalis or diuretic. Methods - A randomized double blind study was performed in 20 patients with CHF (I and II - NYHA) submitted to ergometric test in differents therapeutic phases. The initial workload was 5 watts and load was increased until the appearance of limiting symptoms. Results - The introduction of captopril to the conventional treatment for CFH or associated with digitalis or diuretic promotes significant increase in the duration of the physical exercise, in the oxygen consumption and in the total workload during the ergometric test. Conclusion - In the initial forms of CHF, captopril provides better physical performance when compared with conventional treatment and the diuretic treatment can be changed for the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor with equal efficacy

ABSTRACT

The liquid membrane phenomenon in the actions of digitalis glycosides (digitoxin, digoxin and ouabain) has been studied. Formation of liquid membranes, in series with a supporting membrane, by digitalis alone and by digitalis in association with lecithin and cholesterol has been demonstrated. The results obtained on the transport of relevant permeants, viz. sodium, potassium and calcium ions and dopamine, adrenaline, noradrenaline and serotonin, in the presence of the liquid membrane generated by digitalis in association with lecithin and cholesterol indicate that the liquid membrane barrier to transport may have a relevance with the biological actions of digitalis.

ABSTRACT

As concentraçöes séricas (CS) de digitoxina foram medidas através do método ELISA, após o uso de diferentes doses únicas, aplicadas por via i.v. ou oral, em cäes sadios. Determinaram-se, também, os níveis séricos desse glicosídio na fase platô de um tratamento por via oral e na fase de eliminaçäo, após a suspensäo da terapia. A CS média no platô foi de 20,7 ng/mlñ5,36. A meia-vida sérica do fármaco, calculada a partir das concentraçöes platô, foi de 8,2 horas. Os eletrocardiogramas realizadas durante o tratamento com digitoxina mostraram como única alteraçäo em relaçäo aos ECG controle um prolongamento do intervalo PQ, sendo que um dos animais tratados apresentou bloqueio atrioventricular de 1§ grau (PQ>0,14 seg.) associado a CS de digitoxina de 22,5 ng/ml

ABSTRACT

Nineteen male rabbits were included in the present study and classified into three groups to study the effect of repeated oral daily administration of digitoxin [10 mug/kg body wt.] or digoxin [50 mug/kg body wt.] for four weeks on some liver functions [SGPT, SGOT, total serum bilirubin, total serum proteins, serum alkaline phosphatase and prothrombin activity], ferrokinetic parameters [basal plasma iron, post absorption plasma iron tolerance curve, TIBC, UIBC and percent saturation of transferrin], hematological parameters [red cell count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit value and red cell indices] and histochemical parameters [iron contents and peroxidase enzyme activity in both the liver and kidney]. The results showed that digoxin produced significant decrease of basal plasma iron, post absorption curve and percentage of saturation of transferrin with significant increase of UIBC. Digoxin produced also mild reduction of iron contents and peroxidase enzyme activity in both the liver and kidney. Digitoxin produced insignificant changes in all the studied parameters. The findings of the present study may suggest that oral administration of digoxin interferes with some ferrokinetics, mainly the intestinal absorption of iron. The effect of digoxin on ferrokinetics seems to affect the cellular iron containing enzymes. The addition of iron therapy was recommended, whenever possible, to patients receiving digoxin for a long time

ABSTRACT

The binding of digitoxin [DG] and frusemide [FR], each alone and in combination, to bovine serum albumin [BSA] was investigated by ultrafiltration technique. The results obtained were used to construct Scatchard plots revealing that there are marked differences in the binding characteristics of both drugs. In the presence of FR, the extent of binding of DG to BSA was significantly reduced with the appearance or a secondary class of binding sites for DG, in addition to the primary class, but with lower affinities and capacities. On the other h and, DG had insignificant effect on the binding characteristics of FR. The results indicated that the interactions between FR and DG for binding sites on BSA are competitive

ABSTRACT

Foi estudada em caes a acao antiarritmica de metoclopramida (Plasil) em arritmias experimentais causadas por doses toxicas de desacetil-lanatosideo C e de digitoxina Foi realizada comparacao entre a metoclopramida e a fenil-hidantoina em arritmias causadas pela digitoxina. Os resultados mostram que a metoclopramida antagonizou com eficacia as arritmias causadas pelo desacetil-lanatosideo C e reverteu temporariamente, na maioria das experienicas, aquelas decorrentes da administracao de digitoxinas. Ja a definil-hidantoina nao exerceu acao antiarritmica na maioria dos caes estudados
