The Galipea genus species classifications has been confuse since genus classification. Showing no agreement among taxonomists in several classification systems since 1823. However, Kallunki & Pirani corrected errors exist in the ancient botanical classification reclassify several species of Galipeas like Conchocarpus or Angostura. Thus, it was chosen a specie of Galipea (G. carinata) and one Angostura (A.bracteata) which previously belonged to Galipea in order to evaluate a possible parallelism between the classification proposed by Kallunki & Pirani with the chemical profile of the species studied. The phytochemical studies of the A. bracteata and G. carinata no led to the isolation of the secondary metabolites, though the research literature shows a relation of parallelism between the botanical classification based on morphology of species of the genus with the same chemical this one, but this relationship was only apparent when you compare the already isolated Conchocarpus s alkaloids with those of Angostura, where it was discovered that the alkyl and alquilarilquinolinicos alkaloids present in Angostura, are absent in Conchocarpus. In turn, the acridones and indolquinazolínicos alkaloids found in Conchocarpus were not observed in Angostura. The comparison of the aforementioned genres with Galipea was not discussed due to the few reported alkaloid (2-quinolone) for the species of this genus can not be classified as this specific. The Swinglea glutinosa, a species native to Asia, possesses many reports acridones alkaloids and coumarins isolated from its fruit, stem and roots, but these metabolites are reported from polar extracts, thus having no knowledge whatsoever of metabolites of low polarity. This work is also aimed at expanding the knowledge of the chemical profile of this species. The phytochemical study of S. glutinosa led to the isolation of two triterpenes: 3α-Hidroxiglutin-5-ene (08) and friedelin (09), a diterpene (2Z)-2-methyl-[2,5,5,8 a-tetrametildecaidronaftalen-1-yl] but-2-en-1-ol (07), two steroids, sitosterol (10) and stigmasterol (11), a flavanone: pinostrobine (07) and three amides: N-benzoiltiramida (01), N-{2 - [4 - (3-oxobutoxyl) phenyl] ethyl} benzamide (02), 2 (E) N-methyl-fenilacrilamide (05), the latter being new in the literature. The amide N-{2 - [4 - (2,3-dihydroxy-3-methyl-4-oxobutoxyl) phenyl] ethyl} benzamide (03) and carboxylic acid (04) acid 4 - {4 - [2 - (benzoilamino ) ethyl] phenoxyl} -2.3-dihydroxy-2-methylbutanoic was identified by GC-MS, where these two metabolites enhance the biogenesis of novel amide via O-prenylation then the loss due to carbon dioxide in several oxidations methyl terminal. Some of the compounds have their biological activity by testing tested against the Guignardia citricarpa of growth either in vitro mycelial where only the substance (08) showed an inhibition of about 50% and substance (07) stimulated the growth of the fungus. In the inhibition test of germination and appressorium formation, which evaluates the inhibition of fungal reproductive structure that is the main way of infection, the substance (08) showed an inhibition of 93.5% and 96.5% germination and training appressoria, respectively. The substance (02) inhibited 90.5% and 94.5% germination in appressorium formation. Thus, this work took place some fungicidal compounds with potential to control the fungus G. citricarpa.
Ecologia trófica e ecomorfologia da ictiofauna de igarapés maranhenses (Alcântara-MA)

The trophic ecology is one of the most important aspects to understand the role of a species in the community and in the ecosystem functioning. Studies regarding the feeding of fishes coupled to the ecomorphology of a species become important tools in understanding their ecological role and position in the environment. The present study aimed to analyze the types and amount of food consumed by eleven species of fishes collected in six streams of Alcântara, Maranhão state, and assess their possible interspecific interactions. The specimens were collected in the rainy season, in January, and in the dry season, in November 2008. The analysis of morphology of the fish species was performed by measuring 17 characteristics and calculating 16 ecomorphological attributes. Analysis of the contents of the digestive tract was performed quantitatively and qualitatively. In order to determine the feeding habits of each species the frequency of occurrence, volume and alimentary index of each food item consumed were calculated. The majority of individuals analyzed was collected in the streams Igarapé do Camarajó and Igarapé do Brito. The trophic structure of fish assemblages of these two streams was diversified in both, rainy and dry seasons. The habit of the benthivore species Micropoecilia cf. parae and Apistogramma cf. piauienses was corroborated by their morphology. In the rainy season, there was a higher niche overlap in the diet of insectivorous species in the stream Igarapé do Camarajó, but the morphology of these species showed distinct spatial occupation of the habitat, thus allowing their coexistence. In the dry season most species had food overlap due to the consumption of organic detritus in the Igarapé do Camarajó stream and due to the consumption of chironomid larvae in the Igarapé do Brito stream. Fishes of Camarajó and Brito streams were more likely to feeding specialization in the rainy season and increased diversification of the items consumed during the dry season, indicated, respectively, by larger and smaller niche breadth. The changes in the trophic structure, in the niche overlap and in the niche breadth of fish community in the six streams studied indicate that fluctuations on the hydrological cycle in these streams are an important factor in the throphic dynamics of these fish communities.
