| Riassunto: | Lipopeptides are biosurfactants, substances with a high surfactant potential
where each family corresponds to a group of isoforms that differs in the peptide's
composition and the length of the lipid chain. Among them, iturine and surfactin, lipopeptides
with high surfactant and antibiotic potential, stand out. As a lipopeptide, they are a set of
isoforms, biosynthesized or engineered, where the relationship between their structures and
properties helps choose and direct the product to the final application. That can range from
the surface cleaning and disinfection industry to crude oil recovery, in addition to being the
subject of studies in medical and pharmacological applications. In the context of COVID-19,
the present study aims to produce surfactin and iturin through the cultivation of Bacillus
subtilis UFPEDA 438, using sugarcane molasses as a substrate, as well as to evaluate his
biological activity in vitro, including his antiviral potential through in silico analysis of the
extract produced, against the 4 main target proteins of SARS-CoV 2. The results showed that
8 isoforms of surfactin and 2 of iturin were present in the samples, obtaining a maximum
productivity of 148.548 ± 4.672 mg/L of surfactin. The extracts produced in both steps
showed satisfactory levels and emulsification activities and promoted a reduction in the
surface tension of water by up to 55.24%. Against free radicals (ROS), the samples also
managed to block about 41.95% of them. Regarding the in silico evaluation, the greatest
interaction of the studied biosurfactants was with the Spyke protein, which is crucial for the
binding of the virus with the host human cell. The achieved results points to the extract
produced as a promising constituent in the elaboration of products with high antioxidant and
surfactant potential; and, in addition, moves future trials of his antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. |
