Abstract in Portuguese
INTRODUÇÃO: A leishmaniose visceral (LV), pertence ao grupo de endemias consideradas prioritárias no mundo. É uma doença grave e com poucas opções de tratamento e, mesmo quando adequadamente tratada, possui um nível de letalidade de 5 a 7%. Apesar da expansão da doença, o tratamento para leishmaniose visceral não obteve avanços. O tratamento da leishmaniose possui apenas dois grupos de medicamentos utilizados: os antimonoiais e os não-antimoniais. Os compostos nitroheterocíclicos foram utilizados pois acredita-se que a eficácia desta classe de compostos está na habilidade desses compostos inibirem a tripanotiona redutase. Os compostos foram obtidos por via sintética e refinados pelo método QSAR por remodelagem molecular. Foram obtidos séries de compostos nitroheterocíclicos, onde a série BSF (derivados 5-nitro-2-furfurilideno - azometínicos) foi utilizada para avaliar a bioatividade in vitro destes compostos frente à Leishmania. Para avaliação da atividade anti-Leishmania foram usadas formas promastigotas de Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum. Os métodos utilizados para determinar a atividade anti-Leishmania dos compostos da série BSF foram os métodos colorimétrico 3-[4,5-dimetiltiazol-2-il] 2,5 brometo de difeniltetrazólio (MTT), apoptose por Anexina V e reação de Griess (dosagem de NO). Ao comparar os resultados com os respectivos controles positivos e com a Anfotericina B, foi observado que a atividade anti-Leishmania em formas promastigotas de L. L. infantum dos compostos foi menos significativa quando comparado com anfotericina B. Porém, ao comparar os resultados de macrófagos infectados e citotoxicidade com a anfotericina B, os compostos mostraram resultados expressivos, ao apresentarem baixa taxa de citotoxicidade e significativa diminuição da proliferação intracelular. A expressiva produção de nitrito pelos macrófagos infectados tratados com os compostos da série BSF sugere-se que estes compostos possuam uma ação indireta de potencialização de produção de NO nas células hospedeiras. Os resultados in vitro utilizando derivados nitroheterocíclicos mostraram atividade destes sobre formas promastigotas e amastigotas intracelulares, e são compostos em potencial para avaliação de efeito in vivo contra leishmaniose visceral

Abstract in English
INTRODUCTION: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) belongs to the group of endemics prioritized worldwide. It is a serious disease with few treatment options, and even when adequately treated, it has a lethality level of 5 to 7%. Despite the expansion of the disease, treatment for visceral leishmaniasis has not made progress. Treatment of leishmaniasis has used only two groups of drugs: antimonial and non-antimonial. Nitro-heterocyclic compounds were used in this study because it is believed that the effectiveness of this class of compounds is the ability to inhibit trypanothione reductase. The compounds were obtained synthetically and refined by QSAR method molecular remodeling. Nitro-heterocyclic series of compounds were obtained, where the BSF series (derived from 5-nitro-2-furfurylidene - azometínicos) was used to evaluate the in vitro bioactivity of these compounds against the Leishmania. To evaluate the anti-Leishmania activity, promastigotes of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum were used. The methods used to determine the anti-Leishmania activity of the BSF series compounds were colorimetric methods 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl] 2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), apoptosis by Annexin V, and Griess reaction (IN dosage). By comparing the results with the respective positive controls and with amphotericin B, it was observed that the anti-Leishmania activity of L. L. infantum promastigotes of the compounds was less significant when compared with amphotericin B. However, comparing the results of infected macrophages and cytotoxicity with amphotericin B, compounds showed significant results, presenting low cytotoxicity rate and significant decrease in intracellular proliferation. The significant nitrite production by infected macrophages treated with the BSF series compounds suggested that these compounds have an indirect potentiation action in the NO production in the host cells. In vitro results using nitro-heterocyclic derivatives showed their activity on these promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes, and presented them as potential compounds for in vivo effect evaluation against visceral leishmaniasis
