RESUMO
Piperine (1- piperoyl piperidine) main black pepper (Pipper nigrum Linn.) and long pepper (Piper longum Linn.) alkaloid presents several pharmacological and biochemical effects as enzymes inhibition from hepatic metabolism interfering on xenobiotics and pro-carcinogenic substances biotransformation activated by P-450 cytochromo cycle. According to the scientific bibliography reports, piperine has been able in vitro for decreasing cytotoxicity as well as aflatoxin B1 genotoxicity on mice cells through the competition by P-450 cytochromo. Due to the importance of grains contamination by aflatoxinas, this survey had as proposal to verify piperine ability for decreasing in vivo some damages caused by these toxins. On first, at different piperine doses (1,12; 2,25 and 4,50 mg/Kg) Lou-M strain rats groups were inoculated by oral administrated to evaluated this amide toxicity on animal pattern. Parameters as: weight grain, anatomopathological and histopathological analyses beyond changes on hematological values have been researched. Piperine doses (1,12 mg/Kg) has showed to be appropriate as well as safe on biological assays and it has been used on rats experimental intoxication assays by aflatoxins. Three rats groups were inoculated with piperine (1,12 mg/Kg), aflatoxins (72 μg/ 100 g) as well as piperine + aflatoxins according to the same parameters above described. Piperine has been able for interfering in vivo on aflatoxins toxicity, conspicuously decreasing histopathological injuries on intoxicated animals and significantly returning immunosupression mediated by aflatoxins.
