In vitro and Quantitative and Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) evaluation of the antifungal activity of terpenoid constituents of essential oils against Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum
Abstract
Introducción. Los géneros Alternaria y Fusarium contienen especies patógenas para los humanos y los cultivos. Para su control, se han utilizado diversos antifúngicos. Sin embargo, su uso desmedido ha contribuido al desarrollo de agentes patógenos resistentes. Una alternativa para buscar y desarrollar nuevos agentes antimicóticos son los aceites esenciales y sus componentes principales, los cuales poseen diversas actividades biológicas de interés para la medicina y en la preservación de alimentos.
Objetivo. Evaluar in vitro e in silico las actividades antifúngicas de terpenoides contra Alternaria alternata y Fusarium oxysporum.
Materiales y métodos. Se evaluaron in vitro las concentraciones inhibitorias mínimas y las concentraciones fungicidas mínimas de 27 constituyentes de aceites esenciales
contra A. alternata y F. oxysporum. Además, mediante algoritmos genéticos, se crearon modelos cuantitativos de la relación estructura-actividad para determinar las propiedades estructurales y fisicoquímicas relacionadas con la actividad antifúngica.
Resultados. Los compuestos evaluados mostraron ser antifúngicos activos. El timol fue el compuesto con mayor actividad, con un valor de concentración inhibitoria mínima de 91.6 ± 28.8 μg/ml, tanto para Alternaria alternata como para Fusarium oxysporum. Los modelos cuantitativos de la relación estructura-actividad incluyeron la avidez por los lípidos y los fenoles como los principales grupos funcionales que contribuyen en la actividad antifúngica.
Conclusión. Los terpenoides poseen actividades antifúngicas relevantes para ser incorporados en el estudio de la química medicinal. La inclusión de pruebas in silico a la evaluación in vitro es una herramienta útil para la búsqueda y el diseño racional de derivados terpénicos como posibles agentes antifúngicos.
