Photoprotective activity of geopropolis produced by Melipona subnitida (Apidae, Meliponinae) in the semiarid of the Brazilian Northeast

Aunque el geopropoleo ha sido objeto de muchos estudios quimicos y farmacologicos, existen pocos estudios que investiguen la actividad fotoprotectora de formulaciones que contienen propoleos. Asi, investigamos in vivo la eficacia fotoprotectora de la crema que contiene extracto de geopropoleo mediante evaluacion macroscopica e histologica de la piel de ratas Wistar sometidas a radiacion ultravioleta (UVB). Tambien evaluamos la composicion quimica del extracto hidroetanolico mediante la tecnica HPLC-DADESI-MS / MS, asi como la actividad antioxidante por el metodo fotocolorimetrico del radical libre DPPH (2.2-difenil-1-picrilhidrazina) y la actividad citotoxica por el MTT in vitro metodo cuantitativo [brometo de 3- (4,5-dimetiltiazol-2-il) -2,5-difeniltetrazolio]. El extracto tuvo una composicion quimica variada, detectandose 29 compuestos fenolicos diferentes, distribuidos entre fenoles y flavonoides, estos ultimos representados por chalconas, flavonas y flavonoles. Los porcentajes mas altos de inhibicion de DPPH e o baixo valor de IC50 indicaram que o extrato apresentou alta atividade antioxidante. El extracto hidroetanolico no ejercio efectos citotoxicos ya que se observaron altos porcentajes de viabilidad de los fibroblastos L929 despues de la incubacion durante 72 horas a diferentes concentraciones del extracto. Sobre la piel sometida a la aplicacion de una crema que contenia extracto de geopropoleo y la irradiacion con UVB no se produjeron lesiones macroscopicas e histologicas. Asi, concluimos que la crema que contiene extracto de geopropoleo producida por Melipona subnitida fue capaz de proteger la piel de las lesiones inducidas por la irradiacion UVB, demostrando asi un efecto fotoprotector.
