Modificações estruturais em compostos triterpenóides

Abstract

O ácido asiático é um triterpenóide pentacíclico da família ursano com elevado potencial terapêutico. Estudos recentes evidenciam a sua eficácia, bem como a de alguns derivados semi-sintéticos, no tratamento de várias patologias. A compreensão da relação estrutura-atividade (REA) destes compostos, isto é, o conhecimento das zonas dos núcleos cuja modificação estrutural leva ao aumento da bioatividade, tem vindo a ser essencial no desenvolvimento de derivados semi-sintéticos mais ativos. Reações simples de hidrogenação, hidroxilação, metilação e acetilação, por exemplo, podem dar origem a pequenas modificações estruturais que levem ao aumento da bioatividade do composto. No presente trabalho procedeu-se à preparação de alguns derivados semi-sintéticos do ácido asiático tendo como objetivo a formação de ligações amina a partir da reação de grupos carboxílicos com aminas primárias e ésteres metílicos de aminoácidos. Posteriormente recorreu-se à ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) – 1H, 13C e 135DEPT – e à espetrometria de massa (EM) tendo como objetivo a elucidação estrutural dos compostos sintetizados.

Asiatic acid is a member of the ursane family of pentacyclic triterpenoids with high therapeutic potential. Recent studies show its effectiveness, as well as of some semi-synthetic derivatives, in the treatment of several diseases. The understanding of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of this compounds, meaning, the knowledge of the areas where core structural modification leads to an increase in bioactivity, has been important in the development of more active semi-synthetic derivatives. Simple hydrogenation, hydroxylation, methylation and acetylation reactions, for instance, may lead to small structural modifications that increase bioactivity. In the present work we proceeded to the preparation of some semi-synthetic derivatives of asiatic acid aiming amine bonds formation from the reaction of carboxylic groups with primary amines and amino acids methyl esters. Then we used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) – 1H, 13C e 135DEPT – and mass spectrometry (MS) to elucidate the structure of the synthesized compounds.
