          Abstract

          RESUMEN Thalassia testudinum es la planta marina de mayor abundancia en el litoral de La Habana y del Caribe en general, conocida comúnmente como praderas submarinas o hierba de tortuga. Entre los compuestos de interés que se pueden encontrar en esta especie sobresalen los polifenoles, los cuales son componentes estructurales de su pared celular y poseen propiedades funcionales y bioactivas como antioxidante, anti-inflamatorio, neuroprotector y hepatoprotector. Investigaciones previas evaluaron diversos métodos de extracción de compuestos bioactivos para esta especie, por lo que este trabajo tuvo como objetivo optimizar las condiciones de extracción del contenido de polifenoles totales. Para ello se utilizó el método de Box y Hunter y se evaluó el efecto de tres factores influyentes en la extracción de compuestos fenólicos (velocidad de agitación, relación material vegetal/% alcohol y concentración de etanol). Como variable respuesta se empleó el contenido de polifenoles totales determinada por el método de Folin-Ciocalteu. Los resultados del diseño proporcionaron como condiciones óptimas en las variables estudiadas las siguientes: 1/11.5 p:v, 60% de EtOH y 800 r.p.m., alcanzando rendimiento de polifenoles totales, igual a 25.60 mg/g de extracto seco; superior a las restantes condiciones de extracción para un extracto bioactivo con potencialidades de uso en la industria farmacéutica o nutracéutica.

          ABSTRACT Thalassia testudinum is the marine plant of greatest abundance along the coast of Havana and the Caribbean in general, commonly known as seagrass meadows or turtle grass. Among the compounds of interest that can be found in this species there are polyphenols, which are structural components of its cell wall and have functional and bioactive properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and hepatoprotective. Previous research evaluated different methods of extracting bioactive compounds from this species, and this work aimed to optimize the extraction conditions of the total polyphenol content. For this, the Box and Hunter method was used and the effect of three influential factors in the extraction of phenolic compounds (agitation speed, vegetal material / solvent ratio and ethanol concentration) was evaluated. The total polyphenol content determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method was used as a response variable. The design results provided as optimal conditions in the studied variables the following: 1/11.5 w: v, 60% EtOH and 800 r.p.m., reaching a total polyphenol yield of 25.60 mg/g of dry extract; which contributes to the obtaining of a better content of total phenols in a bioactive extract with potentialities of use in the pharmaceutical or nutraceutical industries.

          Thalassiolins A-C: new marine-derived inhibitors of HIV cDNA integrase.

          Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication requires integration of viral cDNA into the host genome, a process mediated by the viral enzyme integrase. We describe a new series of HIV integrase inhibitors, thalassiolins A-C (1-3), isolated from the Caribbean sea grass Thalassia testudinum. The thalassiolins are distinguished from other flavones previously studied by the substitution of a sulfated beta-D-glucose at the 7-position, a substituent that imparts increased potency against integrase in biochemical assays. The most active of these molecules, thalassiolin A (1), displays in vitro inhibition of the integrase catalyzed strand transfer reaction (IC50=0.4 microM) and an antiviral IC50 of 30 microM. Molecular modeling studies indicate a favorable binding mode is probable at the catalytic core domain of HIV-1 integrase.

            Dietary antioxidants and the risk of ischemic stroke: the Rotterdam Study.

            In the Rotterdam Study, the authors investigated whether high intake of antioxidants from food is associated with the risk of stroke. Among 5,197 participants who were followed on average for 6.4 years, 227 ischemic strokes occurred. Higher intake of antioxidants was associated with a lower risk of stroke. The relationship was dose-dependent, significant for vitamin C, and most pronounced in smokers. These results agree with the view that high dietary intake of antioxidants, in particular vitamin C and--in smokers--vitamin E, reduces the risk of stroke.

              Improvement of biodiesel production by lipozyme TL IM-catalyzed methanolysis using response surface methodology and acyl migration enhancer.

              The process of biodiesel production from corn oil catalyzed by lipozyme TL IM, an inexpensive 1,3-position specific lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) and a central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used to study the effects of enzyme dosage, ratio of t-butanol to oil (v/v) and ratio of methanol to oil (mol/mol) on the methyl esters (ME) yield of the methanolysis. The optimum combinations for the reaction were 25.9U/goil of enzyme, 0.58 volume ratio of t-butanol to oil and 0.5, 0.5, 2.8 molar equivalent of methanol to oil added at the reaction time of 0, 2, and 4h, respectively, by which a ME yield of 85.6%, which was very close to the predicted value of 85.0%, could be obtained after reaction for 12h. Waste oil was found to be more suitable feedstock, and could give 93.7% ME yield under the optimum conditions described above. Adding triethylamine (TEA), an acyl migration enhancer, could efficiently improve the ME yield of the methanolysis of corn oil, giving a ME yield of 92.0%.
