The use of plants for the treatment of many diseases comes from the knowledge of ancestors and propagates over the years, proving to be a good alternative, especially for those with low financial resources. Among the diseases treated are the parasitic diseases that are the cause of more than 200 thousand deaths per year. This systematic review search for in the literature plant species used by different communities of the world for the treatment of parasitoses. Were used primary databases: PubMed, SciELO e LILACS. The terms used in the search were found in the English language, associated with the Boolean operator AND: “parasitic diseases” AND “plants medicinal”. Finding 853 publications, after which inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, selecting of 9 articles. Were found 67 species of 42 families, in which the Leguminosae family was the most cited by the population, and the most used plant species were Azadirachta indica, Euphorbia abyssinica and Mangifera indica, with featured on the first. Malaria had a more number of medicinal plants for its treatment. Even with drug development, it can be observed that traditional medicine hasn`t fallen into disuse, encouraging scientific studies that ensure the therapeutic efficacy of these medicinal plants. O uso de plantas para tratamento de muitas enfermidades vem do conhecimento de antepassados e se propaga ao longo dos anos, mostrando ser uma boa alternativa, principalmente para aqueles que possuem poucos recursos financeiros. Dentre as doenças tratadas encontram-se as parasitoses que são a causa de mais de 200 mil mortes por ano. Esta revisão sistemática pesquisou, na literatura, quais espécies vegetais são usadas por diferentes comunidades do mundo para o tratamento de parasitoses. Para isso foram utilizados os bancos de dados primários: PubMed, SciELO e LILACS. Os termos usados na busca encontraram-se na língua inglesa, associados com o operador booleano AND: “parasitic diseases” AND “plants medicinal”. Encontrando-se 853 publicações, sendo posteriormente aplicados critérios de inclusão e exclusão, selecionando ao todo 9 artigos. Foram verificadas 67 espécies de 42 famílias, na qual a família Leguminosae foi a mais citada pela população, e as espécies vegetais mais usadas foram Azadirachta indicam, Euphorbia abyssinica e Mangifera indica, com destaque para a primeira. A malária foi a que teve maior número de plantas medicinais para o seu tratamento. Apesar do desenvolvimento de fármacos, observa-se que a medicina tradicional não caiu em desuso, buscando incentivar estudos científicos que garantam a eficácia terapêutica destas plantas medicinais.

- Abstract
The ethanolic extract of the leaves of Cissampelos sympodialis showed great pharmacological potential, with inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities, however, it showed some toxicological effects. Therefore, this study aims to verify the toxicological potential of alkaloids of the genus Cissampelos through in silico methodologies, to develop a method in LC-MS/MS verifying the presence of alkaloids in the infusion and to evaluate the toxicity of the infusion of the leaves of C. sympodialis when inhaled by Swiss mice. Results in silico showed that alkaloid 93 presented high toxicological potential along with the products of its metabolism. LC-MS/MS results showed that the infusion of the leaves of this plant contained the alkaloids warifteine and methylwarifteine. Finally, the in vivo toxicological analysis of the C. sympodialis infusion showed results, both in biochemistry, organ weights and histological analysis, that the infusion of C. sympodialis leaves presents a low toxicity.

Medicinal plants are widely used by human to treat their ailments since the dawn of civilization. Among the most diverse plant species have attracted some interest from researchers, as is the case of "Aromatic Plants" whose activity has been attributed to essential oils. The R-(+)-limonene is a monoterpene found in several species of herbs. Studies have shown that this compound has several pharmacological activities among them, gastroprotective and antitumor. The present study aims to investigate the anxiolytic effect and inhalation toxicity in two phases: psychopharmacological and toxicological evaluation. Initially, a case of inhalation has been standardized to obtain concentration values ideal for application of the substance. After this, it was evaluated the anxiolytic activity of R-(+)-limonene in the elevated plus maze (EPM). Results showed that the substance does not have anxiolytic effects at the concentrations and at times determined. Then the animals were exposed to a daily the substance, being evaluated psychopharmacological activity through the LCE, and toxicity through biochemical and hematologic tests. The results of the EPM showed a characteristic anxiogenic possibly related to irritation that limonene causes olfactory pathways. In hematological examinations, there was a decrease in hematocrit and red blood cell hemolysis caused by continuous use of R (+) limonene inhalation. The high values of MCV, MCH and MCHC suggest changes in metabolism in the hippocampus antagonize the anxiolytic effect of the test substance. In biochemical tests there was an increase in blood glucose, creatinine, AST and lactate dehydrogenase. Increased AST is suggestive of hemolytic anemia, whereas the increase of lactate dehydrogenase is suggestive of folate deficiency or vitamin B12. Therefore, the R (+) limonene in exposure performed with cytotoxic characteristics at a concentration of 5% when administered daily for 30 days. Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES As plantas medicinais são largamente utilizadas pelo homem no tratamento dos seus males desde os primórdios da civilização. Entre as mais diversas espécies vegetais algumas têm despertado interesse dos pesquisadores, como é o caso das Plantas Aromáticas cuja atividade tem sido atribuída aos óleos essenciais. O R-(+)-limoneno é um monoterpeno encontrado em várias espécies de plantas aromáticas. Estudos demonstraram que esse composto apresenta atividades farmacológicas (ansiolítica, gastroprotetora, antitumorais) possuindo um baixo perfil de toxicidade. O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar o efeito ansiolítico e a toxicidade por via inalatória. Para tanto, uma caixa de inalação foi padronizada afim de obter valores de concentrações ideais para aplicação da substância. Após, foi avaliado a atividade ansiolítica do R-(+)-limoneno no labirinto em cruz elevado (LCE). Resultados mostraram que a substancia não possui efeitos ansiolíticas para as concentrações e tempos determinados. Em seguida, os animais foram expostos a uma exposição diária (30 dias) à substância sendo avaliados a atividade psicofarmacológica, através do LCE, e a toxicidade, através de exames bioquímicos e hematológicos. Os resultados do LCE mostraram uma característica ansiogênica possivelmente relacionada à irritação que o limoneno causa nas vias olfatórias. Nos exames hematológicos houve uma diminuição no eritrócitos e hematócrito devido a hemólise causada por uso contínuo de R-(+)-limoneno por via inalatória. Os valores elevados de VCM, HCM e CHCM sugerem alterações no metabolismo no hipocampo antagonizando o efeito ansiolítico da substância em estudo. Nos exames bioquímicos houve um aumento na glicemia, creatinina, AST e lacato desidrogenase. O aumento da AST é sugestivo de anemia hemolítica; já o aumento do lactato desidrogenase é sugestivo para deficiência de folatos ou vitamina B12. Portanto, o R-(+)-limoneno em exposição prolongada se apresentou com características tóxicas em uma concentração de 5%.

- Abstract
This review presents an survey to the biological importance of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) in the fight against four infectious neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)--leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, Chagas disease, and sleeping sickness--as alternatives to the current chemotherapies that display several problems such as low effectiveness, resistance, and high toxicity. Several studies have demonstrated the great potential of some SLs as therapeutic agents for these NTDs and the relationship between the protozoal activities with their chemical structure. Recently, Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) studies have helped increase the knowledge of SLs regarding their mechanisms, the discovery of new lead molecules, the identification of pharmacophore groups and increase the biological activity by employing in silico tools such as molecular docking, virtual screening and Quantitative-Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) studies.

Leishmaniasis and American trypanosomiasis are the neglected diseases that affect a large percentage of the Brazil and Colombia population. Some of the difficulties for the control and elimination of these diseases are the limitation and inefficacy of the current treatments mainly in the chronic phases. Natural products are potential sources of new and selective agents for the treatment of tropical diseases caused by protozoa and other parasites. Asteraceae family has allowed the isolation of a great variety of substances that exhibit diverses biological activities, among them, sesquiterpenes lactones, which have not been studied yet deepth, but present a great potential of antiprotozoal activity. Computational methods have emerged, as an important tool in the field of medicinal chemistry, improving the effectiveness of processes to develop of new treatments, reducing costs and resources. Therefore, this study aims use, create and combine several methodologies of virtual screening of a natural products database through molecular docking, and machine learning algorithms using molecular descriptors, in order to find sesquiterpenes lactones with potential trypanocidal and leishmanicidal activity. In Chapter 2, is presented a review of the biological importance of sesquiterpenes lactones in the fight against neglected diseases including some investigations performed with in silico tools in the search of new molecules with leishmanicidal and antichagasic activity. Chapter 3 presents a modern and innovative web tool for database managing of secondary metabolites, called SISTEMATX, which was developed in the cheminformatics laboratory of the Federal University of Paraíba. The last two chapters, present computational studies aimed at finding structures with potential antichagasic and leishmanicidal multitarget activity, using an in-house databank (SISTEMATX) consisting of 1,306 sesquiterpenes lactones. Random forest classificatory models built for each one of the parasitic forms of T. cruzi and L. donovani reached a predictive power above of 75,4% of accuracy. By ligand-based virtual screening, the number of structures classified as active were: 34, 17 and 420 for amastigotes, trypomastigotes and epimastigotes of T. cruzi, as well as, 741 and 11 for amastigotes and promastigotes of L. donovani. Likewise, structure-based virtual screening was performed by molecular docking of the same set of molecules using eight target enzymes of T. cruzi and four proteins of L. donovani, including a homology model of Pteridine reductase 1 (LdPTR1). Finally, by means of a consensus analysis of the two techniques, it was sought to normalize the probability values, to verify potentially active compounds against these two neglected diseases and to establish their possible mechanism of action. Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq A leishmaniose e a tripanossomíase americana são as doenças negligenciadas que afetam em maior percentagem à população do Brasil e da Colômbia. Algumas das principais dificuldades para o controle e eliminação destas doenças são a limitação e ineficácia dos atuais tratamentos usados, principalmente nas fases crónicas. Os produtos naturais são potenciais fontes de novos e seletivos agentes para o tratamento de doenças tropicais causados por protozoários e outros parasitos. A família Asteraceae tem permitido o isolamento de uma grande variedade de substâncias que exibem diversas atividades biológicas entre estes, sesquiterpenos lactonizados que ainda não têm sido estudados com profundidade, mas apresentam um grande potencial de atividade antiprotozoária. Os métodos computacionais, têm emergido, como uma importante ferramenta na área da química medicinal, melhorando a eficiência de múltiplos processos para o desenvolvimento de novos tratamentos, reduzindo custos e recursos. Portanto, este estudo tem como objetivo, utilizar, criar e combinar diversas metodologias de triagem virtual de banco de dados de produtos naturais através de docking molecular e aprendizado de máquina utilizando descritores moleculares para propor sesquiterpenos lactonizados com potencial atividade leishmanicida e tripanocida multialvo. No capítulo 2, apresenta-se uma revisão da importância biológica dos sesquiterpenos lactonizados na luta contra as doenças negligenciadas incluindo algumas investigações desenvolvidas com ferramentas in silico na busca de novas moléculas com atividade leishmanicida e antichagásica. O capitulo 3, apresenta uma moderna e inovadora ferramenta web para o gerenciamento do banco de dados de metabolitos secundários, chamada SISTEMATX a qual foi desenvolvida no laboratório de quimioinformática da Universidade federal da Paraíba. Os últimos dois capítulos, mostram estudos computacionais dirigidos a busca de estruturas com potencial atividade antichagásica e leishmanicida multialvo, usando um banco de dados próprio (SISTEMATX) constituído por 1,306 SLs. Os modelos classificatórios Random forest construídos para cada uma das formas parasitarias de T. cruzi e L. donovani alcançaram um poder preditivo acima de 75,4% de acurácia. Mediante a triagem virtual baseada na estrutura do ligante, o número de estruturas classificadas como ativas foram: 34, 17 e 420 para amastigotas, tripomastigotas e epimastigotas de T. cruzi, assim como, 741 e 11 para amastigotas e promastigotas de L. donovani. Estudos de triagem virtual baseado na estrutura do receptor foram realizados mediante docking molecular do mesmo banco de moléculas usando 8 enzimas alvos do T. cruzi e 4 proteínas de L. donovani, incluindo um modelo de homologia de Redutase de pteridina 1 (LdPTR1). Finalmente, mediante uma análise de consenso das duas técnicas, buscou-se normalizar os valores de probabilidades, para verificar compostos potencialmente ativos contra estas duas doenças negligenciadas e estabelecer o possível mecanismo de ação destes.

- Abstract
Asthma is an inflammatory disease which affects millions of people worldwide. Therefore, it is necessary to search for new sources of therapies for the treatment of these patients in order to improve their quality of life. From content analysis of literature of new therapeutic targets, there are various targets and drugs reported to be promising for the treatment of asthma. Interleukins involved in inflammatory processes are often presented as candidate targets for new drugs. The action of such therapeutics would not only affect interleukins, but also their receptors. Small molecules (e.g. ligustrazine and SP600125) and large molecule antibodies (e.g. lebrikizumab, benralizumab, dupilumab) are being considered as novel agents for the pharmacotherapy of asthma. Therefore, through this research, we can see advances in the search for new targets and promising drugs to treat asthma. It is expected that these new drug candidates will eventually be approved and marketed so that asthma patients can use them to enhance their quality of life., (Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.org.)
