Objective: The chemical composition and expectorant activity of the purple bracts of B. glabra were evaluated. Methods: The concentrations of alkaloids and saponins were determined spectrophotometrically and the chemical compounds dissolved in chloroform of the dry extract of B. glabra bracts were identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). CD1 mice were used to evaluate the expectorant activity, which were divided into 3 groups: Two groups to which, respectively, the doses of the solution (500 mg/kg) of the dry extract of the purple bracts of B. glabra and that of the bromhexine syrup (25 mg/kg) as a positive control, were administered by orally and one control group. The expectorant activity of each treatment was analyzed by the spectrophotometric method for the quantification of phenol red in tracheobronchial secretion of mice. Results: The compounds identified by GC-MS in the dry extract dissolved in chloroform were: 4-hydroxy- 4-methyl-2-pentanone, 2,2-diethoxy-propane, hexadecanoic acid and ethyl ester of hexadecanoic acid. The solutions of the dry extract of the purple bracts of B. glabra and that of bromhexine, administered orally to the mice, produced significantly (P<0.05) higher release of phenol red in the tracheobronchial secretion, respectively, in comparison with the negative control. Conclusions: The dry extract of the purple bracts of B. glabra had therapeutic action as an expectorant agent. It could be inferred that, due to the synergistic effect, the chemical compounds identified by GC-MS and the content of alkaloids and saponins enhance the expectorant activity of purple bracts of B. glabra.
Objetivo: Se evaluó la composición química y la actividad expectorante de las brácteas moradas de B. glabra. Métodos: Las concentraciones de alcaloides y saponinas se determinaron espectrofotométricamente y los compuestos químicos disueltos en cloroformo del extracto seco de las brácteas de B. glabra fueron identificados por cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas (CG-EM). Para el estudio biológico, se usaron ratones CD1, divididos en 3 grupos: Dos grupos a los cuales, respectivamente, las dosis de la solución (500 mg/kg) del extracto seco de las brácteas moradas de B. glabra y la del jarabe de bromhexina (25 mg/kg) como control positivo, se les administraron por vía oral y un grupo control. La actividad expectorante de cada tratamiento fue evaluada usando el método espectrofotométrico de cuantificación del rojo fenol en la secreción traqueobronquial de los ratones. Resultados: Los compuestos identificados, por CG-EM en el extracto seco disuelto en cloroformo fueron: la 4-hidroxi-4-metil-2-pentanona, el 2,2-dietoxi-propano, el ácido hexadecanoico y el éster etílico del ácido hexadecanoico. Las soluciones del extracto seco de las brácteas moradas de B. glabra y de bromhexina, respectivamente, produjeron significativamente (P<0,05) mayor liberación de rojo fenol en la secreción traqueobronquial de los ratones, en comparación con el control negativo. Conclusiones: La solución del extracto seco de las brácteas moradas de B. glabra tuvo acción terapéutica como agente expectorante. Además, se puede inferir que, por efecto sinérgico, los compuestos químicos identificados por CG-EM y el contenido de alcaloides y saponinas potencian la actividad expectorante de las brácteas moradas de B. glabra.
Objetivo: Avaliar a composição química e a atividade expectorante das brácteas moradas de B. glabra. Métodos: As concentrações de alcalóides e saponinas são determinadas espectrofotometricamente e os compostos químicos dissolvidos em clorofórmio do extrato seco das brácteas de B. glabra são identificados por cromatografia de gases acoplada a espectrometria de massas (CG-EM). Para o estúdio biológico, use ratos CD1, divididos em 3 grupos: Dos grupos aos quais, respectivamente, as doses da solução (500 mg/kg) do extrato seco das brácteas moradas de B. glabra e do jarabe de bromexina (25 mg/kg) como controle positivo, é administrado por via oral e um controle de grupo. A atividade expectorante de cada tratamento foi avaliada usando o método espectrofotométrico de quantificação do fenol vermelho na secreção traqueobrônquica dos ratos. Resultados: Os compostos identificados, por CG-EM no extrato seco disuelto em cloroformo forte: la 4-hidroxi-4-metil- -2-pentanona, o 2,2-dietoxi-propano, o ácido hexadecanoico e o éster etílico do ácido hexadecanoico. As soluções do extrato seco das brácteas moradas de B. glabra e de bromexina, respectivamente, produziram significativamente (P<0,05) maior liberação de fenol vermelho na secreção traqueobrônquica dos ratos, em comparação com o controle negativo. Conclusões: A solução do extrato seco das brácteas moradas de B. glabra tem sua ação terapêutica como agente expectorante. Além disso, pode-se inferir que, por efeito sinérgico, os compostos químicos identificados por CG-EM e o conteúdo de alcalóides e saponinas potencializam a atividade expectorante das brácteas moradas de B. glabra.
