Abstract
Biocatalytic processes play a crucial role in the valorization of lignin; therefore, methods enabling the monitoring of enzymes such as β-etherases, capable of breaking β-O-4 aryl-ether bonds, are of significant biotechnological interest. A novel method for quantifying β-etherase activity was developed based on the β-ester bond formation between a chromophore and acetovainillone. The chromogenic substrate β-(ρ-nitrophenoxy)-α-acetovanillone (PNPAV), was chemically synthesized. Kintetic monitoring of ρ-nitrophenolate release at 410 nm over 10 min, using recombinant LigF from Sphingobium sp SYK-6, LigF-AB and LigE-AB from Althererytrobacter sp B11, yielded enzimatic activities of 404. 3 mU/mg, 72 mU/mg, and 50 mU/mg, respectively. This method is applicable in a pH range of 7.0-9.0, with a sensitivity of up to 50 ng of enzyme, exhibiting no interference with lipolytic, glycolytic, proteolytic, and oxidoreductase enzymes.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious public health issue affecting thousands of people worldwide. CKD diagnosis is usually made by Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and albuminuria, which limit the knowledge of the mechanisms behind CKD progression. The aim of the present study was to identify changes in the metabolomic profile that occur as CKD advances. In this sense, 77 plasma samples from patients with CDK were evaluated by 1D and 2D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR). The NMR data showed significant changes in the metabolomic profile of CKD patients and the control group. Principal component analysis (PCA) clustered CKD and control patients into three distinct groups, control, stage 1 (G1)-stage 4 (G4) and stage 5 (G5). Lactate, glucose, acetate and creatinine were responsible for discriminating the control group from all the others CKD stages. Valine, alanine, glucose, creatinine, glutamate and lactate were responsible for the clustering of G1-G4 stages. G5 was discriminated by calcium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, magnesium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, creatinine, betaine/choline/trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), lactate and acetate. CKD G5 plasma pool which was submitted in MetaboAnalyst 4.0 platform (MetPA) analysis and showed 13 metabolic pathways involved in CKD physiopathology. Metabolic changes associated with glycolysis and gluconeogenesis allowed discriminating between CKD and control patients. The determination of involved molecules in TMAO generation in G5 suggests an important role in this uremic toxin linked to CKD and cardiovascular diseases. The aforementioned results propose the feasibility of metabolic assessment of CKD by NMR during treatment and disease progression.

Abstract
Antinutrients (ANs) interact with proteins changing its behavior and may affect Maillard reaction (MR). This work aimed to study the effect of phytic acid, tannic acid, and saponin on asparagine-glucose MR. The effect of AN concentration (0-1 mM) and reaction time (3-30 min at 150 °C) on the formation of melanoidins and acrylamide was determined. Other MR compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance. The ANs effect on asparagine-glucose thermal behavior was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Results showed that ANs increase the melanoidins formation. Acrylamide content increased in saponin and phytic acid presence. The volatile profile was similar among the samples and formed mainly by pyrazines (>50%). ANs affect glucose's melting point, however, only phytic acid and saponin affect asparagine and glucose thermal behavior. The results presented in this work are important for food science and the industry to control MR in processed foods.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The species Euphorbia umbellata (leitosinha) has been traditionally used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and cancer. AIM OF THE STUDY Evaluation the effect of E. umbellata latex extracts obtained with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol on the activation of the complement pathways and neutrophil chemotaxis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The latex was partitioned using Soxhlet apparatus and hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol as solvents. The classical and alternative pathway activity were performed by hemolytic assays with sensitized sheep or rabbit erythrocytes, respectively; the lectin pathway activity was quantified by ELISA, through the measurement of C4 molecules and the chemotaxis of human neutrophils was performed using 1% casein as the chemotactic inducer and Boyden's chamber. GC-Q-ToF and NMR analyses were applied to evaluate the chemical composition of E. umbellata latex extracts. RESULTS All E. umbellata latex extracts exhibited an inhibitory effect on the activation of the alternative pathway. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts inhibited the classical pathway while chloroform extract activated this pathway. Ethyl acetate and hexane extracts inhibited lectin activation. All E. umbellata extracts inhibited casein-induced neutrophil chemotaxis. Terpenes and phenolic compounds have been suggested to be present in the E. umbellta latex extracts. CONCLUSION The E. umbellata latex was able to modulate the functions of the immune system. Thus, it is possible to infer that the terpenes and phenolic compounds of the phytocomplex of E. umbellata latex can contribute for the activity on the complement pathways.

Abstract
The current study was carried out by a bioguided fractionation of a hexane extract of the latex of Euphorbia umbellata against leukemic cells. Samples were analyzed by NMR, GC/MS, triterpenes quantification, and MTT reduction assay. Morphological, cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential and caspases 3/7 analyses were performed for the dichloromethane and ethanol fractions, and selectivity index for the dichloromethane fraction. NMR analysis presented characteristic signals of terpenes and steroids, data were confirmed by the quantification of triterpenes and GC/MS analysis. MTT reduction assay demonstrated that HL-60 was the most sensitive cell lineage against dichloromethane and ethanol fractions. Compounds of these matrices caused morphological changes compatible with apoptosis induction, altered cell cycle, increment of depolarized population cells and activation of caspases 3/7. Selectivity indices were higher than 22.44. Bioguided-fractionation study showed that samples of the latex of E. umbellata raised the activity of the phytocomplex against leukemic cells, and the cytotoxicity can be associated with an apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some research studies have shown that Lippia pedunculosa essential oil (EOLP) has interesting biological activities. However, its low water solubility is the main challenge to achieve its therapeutic potential. In this context, Cyclodextrins (CDs) have been widely used in order to overcome this problem due to your capability to improve the physicochemical properties of drugs. OBJECTIVE In this perspective, the main goal of this study was to investigate how the improvement of the physicochemical properties of inclusion complexes (EOLP and β-CD) enhance the antinociceptive effect in mice. METHODS To achieve that, we prepared samples by Physical Mixture (PM), Paste Complexation (PC) and Slurry Complexation (SC) methods, followed by their physicochemical characterization. In addition, it was evaluated if the use of β-CD enhances the antinociceptive effect of EOLP in mice. RESULTS The analysis showed that rotundifolone (72.02%) was the major compound of EOLP and we found out based on DSC results that β-CD protected it from oxidation. In addition, TG techniques demonstrated that the best inclusion methods were PC and SC, due to their greater weight loss (10.8 and 11.6%, respectively) in the second stage (171-312°C), indicating that more complexed oil was released at the higher temperature than oil free. Other characteristics, such as changes in the typical crystalline form, and reduced particle size were observed by SEM and laser diffraction, respectively. The SC was the most effective complexation method, once the presence of rotundifolone was detected by FTIR. Based on that, SC method was used in all mice tests. In this regard, the number of paw licks was reduced for both compounds (all doses), but EOLP was more effective in reducing the nociceptive behavior. CONCLUSION Therefore, CDs seem not to be a good tool to enhance the pharmacological properties of EOs rich in peroxide compounds such as rotundifolone.

Abstract
1H HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy was used to track the metabolic changes throughout the whole development of astringent ('Giombo') and non-astringent ('Fuyu') cultivars of persimmon (Diospyros kaki). The NMR data revealed the low concentration of amino acids (threonine, alanine, citrulline and GABA) and organic acids (malic acid). In addition, the signals of carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose and fructose) seemed to play the most important role in the fruit development. In both cultivars, the growth was characterized by fluctuating sucrose concentration along with a constant increase in both glucose and fructose. In the initial growth stage, the polyphenol composition was quite different between the cultivars. Gallic acid was detected throughout the growth of 'Giombo', while for 'Fuyu', signals of polyphenols disappeared over time. Additional multivariate analysis suggested that these cultivars share many metabolic similarities during development. These findings might help the comprehension of fruit development, which in turn, impacts the quality of the fruits.

Abstract
In order to find new alternatives for vector control and personal protection, we evaluated the larvicidal and repellent activity of essentials oils from plants found in the Northeast of Brazil against Aedes aegypti Linnaeus mosquitoes. The plants tested include Xylopia laevigata, Xylopia frutescens, and Lippia pedunculosa and their major compounds, piperitenone oxide, and (R)-limonene. The essential oil of L. pedunculosa and its major volatile compounds were shown to be toxic for Ae. aegypti larvae with a LC50 lower than 60 ppm. The essential oil of plants from the Xylopia genus, on the other hand, showed no activity against Ae. aegypti, proving to be toxic to mosquito larvae only when concentrations were higher than 1000 ppm. All plants tested provided some degree of protection against mosquitoes landing, but only the essential oil of L. pedunculosa and the volatile compound piperitenone oxide suppressed 100% of mosquitoes landing on human skin, in concentrations lower than 1%. Among the plants studied, the essential oil of L. pedunculosa and its volatiles compounds have shown the potential for the development of safe alternative for mosquito larvae control and protection against Ae. aegypti mosquito bites.

Abstract
Investigation by GC-FID and GC-MS of the essential oil (LPOE) from the leaves of Lippia pedunculosa revealed, as the major compounds, the monoterpenes rotundifolone (71.7%) and ( R)-limonene (21.8%). These two compounds and the minor constituent piperitenone (1.2%) were also isolated from the leaves and identified by spectrometric analysis. LPOE and isolated compounds were evaluated for their trypanocidal activity against epimastigote and trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. Significant results with IC50 values lower than 34.0 μg.mL−1 were observed against these forms of T. cruzi for LPOE and isolated compounds. Rotundifolone was the most active compound with an IC50 lower than 10.0 μg.mL–1 for both forms of T. cruzi. The effects of LPOE and isolated compounds were also evaluated in cultures of macrophages infected with T. cruzi. Treatment with ( R)-limonene and rotundifolone caused a moderate reduction in the percentage of macrophages infected by T. cruzi and in the number of intracellular parasites at concentrations non-toxic to macrophages.

Abstract
Investigation by GC-FID and GC-MS of the essential oil (LPOE) from the leaves of Lippia pedunculosa revealed, as the major compounds, the monoterpenes rotundifolone (71.7%) and (R)-limonene (21.8%). These two compounds and the minor constituent piperitenone (1.2%) were also isolated from the leaves and identified by spectrometric analysis. LPOE and isolated compounds were evaluated for their trypanocidal activity against epimastigote and trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. Significant results with IC50 values lower than 34.0 microg.mL(-1) were observed against these forms of T. cruzi for LPOE and isolated compounds. Rotundifolone was the most active compound with an ICso lower than 10.0 ig.mL"' for both forms of T. cruzi. The effects of LPOE and isolated compounds were also evaluated in cultures of macrophages infected with T. cruzi. Treatment with (R)-limonene and rotundifolone caused a moderate reduction in the percentage of macrophages infected by T. cruzi and in the number of intracellular parasites at concentrations non-toxic to macrophages.

Abstract
Essential oils from leaves of Xylopia frutescens (XFMJ) and two specimens of Xylopia laevigata (XLMC and XLSI) were obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus, and analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. Sesquiterpenes dominated the essential oils. The main constituents of XFMJ were (E)-caryophyllene (24.8%), bicyclogermacrene (20.8%), germacrene D (17.0%), beta-elemene (7.9%), and (E)-beta-ocimene (6.8%). XLMC contained significant quantities of germacrene D (18.9%), bicyclogermacrene (18.4%), beta-elemene (9.5%), delta-selinene (9.2%), (E)-caryophyllene (8.5%), germacrene B (5.7%) and gamma-muurolene (5.7%), while germacrene D (27.0%), bicyclogermacrene (12.8%), (E)-caryophyllene (8.6%), gamma-muurolene (8.6%), delta-cadinene (6.8%), and germacrene B (6.0%) were the main components of XLSI. The essential oils had trypanocidal activity against the Y strain of Trypanosoma cruzi, with IC50 values lower than 30 microg x mL(-1) and 15 microg x mL(-1) against epimastigote and trypomastigote forms of T. cruzi, respectively, and were also able to reduce the percentage in vitro of T. cruzi-infected macrophages and the intracellular number of amastigotes at concentrations that were non-cytotoxic to macrophages.
