RESUMO

The cambuci is a native Brazilian fruit from the Atlantic Forest biome. A soft and astringent pulp, a green color, and a sweet aroma are its main characteristics. Classical food quality attributes (fresh fruit mass, fruit height, diameters, total soluble solid, titratable acidity, and ratio) and the metabolic profile from ten accessions from three different locations were analyzed herein by analytical methods (refractometry and neutralization titration) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Concerning sugar content, sucrose was the predominant compound, with glucose and fructose alternating in second, depending on the accession. Citric acid was the most relevant acid, followed by shikimic and quinic acids in quite variable amounts. These three main acids vary in amounts for each accession. Ascorbic acid content emerges as an important quality attribute and makes this fruit nutritionally attractive, due to values comparable to those contained in citric fruits. The main amino acids identified in cambuci were glutamic acid individually or in comprising the tripeptide glutathione (glutamic acid, cysteine, glycine). The quality diversity of the evaluated accessions suggests the potentiality of cambuci use in future breeding programs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Topotecan (TPT) is a water-soluble derivate of camptothecin, which undergoes ring-opening hydrolysis in neutral solutions, leading to stability loss and poor cellular uptake. Lipid nanoencapsulation can improve TPT stability, and polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (PLN) are interesting alternatives to improve TPT nanoencapsulation. OBJECTIVE: This study seeks to prepare complexes between the cationic TPT and the negatively charged dextran sulfate (DS) with a view of improving drug loading, chemical stability and release control. METHODS: The optimum ionic molar ratio in DS-TPT complexation was determined, and the selected complex was characterized by FTIR and solid-state 13C NMR. TPT solubility in the free and complexed forms was also assayed. TPT-PLN was then obtained via a microemulsion technique, and particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, drug loading and drug recovery were determined. Additionally, the TPT stability and in vitro release were determined from PLN and compared with free TPT, TPT-DS complex and TPT encapsulated in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) of similar composition. RESULTS: TPT-DS complexation was confirmed by FTIR and NMR. TPT solubility in the complex was drastically decreased when compared to free TPT. TPT-PLN had high encapsulation efficiency (97%) and drug loading capacity (5.5%). Additionally, TPT-PLN showed a mean diameter, polidispersivity index e zeta potential of 140 nm, 0.2 and -22 mV, respectively. The TPT chemical stability and release from PLN were observed to be superior when compared to NLC. CONCLUSION: PLN has shown to be a more effective nanosystem for TPT nanoencapsulation because TPT loading, stability and release were superior when compared to TPT-NLC.
