• | Anti-inflammatory profile under acute phase cytokines of TSH fraction. |
Abstract |
Background and purpose |
Antibiotic resistance is now a worldwide public health problem. A potential alternative source in the search for new antibiotics is the bioactive molecules obtained from marine products, as the halistanol trisulfate, obtained from Petromica citrina, and herein investigated from its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Experimental approach |
The antimicrobial activity of the fractionation products (TSH fraction, halistanol sulfate (HS) and halistanol sulfate C (HS-C)) of the marine sponge Petromica citrina was evaluated against twenty bacteria and two fungi strains by the disk diffusion and microdilution methods. After initial in vitro tests, an in vivo assay was proposed, to evaluate survival and inflammatory parameters in an animal model of peritonitis mediated by MRSA. The animals are treated with TSH fraction (1, 2.5 and 5 mg kg−1) or Vancomycin (30 mg kg−1) twice (6 and 18 h after induction) until organ removal for evaluation of the inflammatory profile, or for 3 days, 12 h each (6 h, 18 h, 30 h, 42 h, 54 h and 66 h after induction) in animals which were followed-up for by five days, for the evaluation of survival.
Key results |
The BF fraction, TSH fraction, HS and HS-Cinhibited, in vitro, the Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans growth. Moreover, these samples were effective against S. aureus (MSSA), MRSA and Vancomycin-Resistence Enterococcus (VRE). The in vivo results demonstrated that TSH fraction reduced mortality when compared to the saline group. To evaluate the role of inflammation in outcomes of peritonitis, cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) and MPO activity were measured. In general, anti-inflammatory activity was detected in animals treated with TSH in different doses.
Conclusion and implications |
These data suggest that TSH may be an interesting alternative for the treatment infections by Gram-positive resistant bacteria, due to its antimicrobial profile associated with its anti-inflammatory properties.
