El Filo placozoa es un grupo de animales primitivos y con gran interés evolutivo y farmacológico. Está representado por pocos géneros, de los que Trichoplax y su especie representativa T. adhaerens es el más estudiado. En este trabajo se ha hecho una revisión bibliográfica del conocimiento actual de esta especie, tanto desde el punto de vista evolutivo como desde el punto de vista de su interés farmacológico. Experimentalmente, se han realizado los protocolos para el aislamiento de la especie en uno de los hábitats costeros más previsible de Canarias así como la identificación física de los especímenes candidatos recolectados. Los resultados obtenidos indican, por un lado, la falta de estudio sobre esta recientemente descubierta especie, y por otro lado, la importancia potencial de Trichoplax en investigaciones que impliquen un modelo ancestral animal para el estudio de fármacos. Incluyendo la búsqueda de dianas bioquímicas y mecanismos de respuesta diferentes a los descritos en modelos más evolucionados. Finalmente, se han aislado por primera vez especímenes candidatos de Trichoplax en aguas someras de Tenerife y se han propuesto las condiciones óptimas de crecimiento de esta especie.
The phylum placozoa is a group of primitive animals with great evolutionary and pharmacological interest. It is represented by a few genus, when Trichoplax and its representative species T. adhaerens are most studied. In this work, the knowledge of this species has been bibliographically reviewed, both from an evolutionary point of view and relative to its pharmacological interest. Experimentally, protocols have been developed for the isolation of the species in the most predictable coastal habitat for this species in the Canary Islands and for the physical identification of the specimens obtained. The results obtained indicate, on the one hand, the lack of study on this recently discovered species, as well as the potential importance of Trichoplax sp. in studies involving an ancestral animal model for the study of drugs. Including the search for biochemical targets and response mechanisms different from those described in more evolutionarily recent models. Candidate specimens have been isolated in shallow waters of Tenerife and optimal isolation conditions for this species have been established.
