Résumé

Le but du présent de travail est d’investiguer par spectrophotométrie UV/VIS la répartition de la L-dopa, précurseur bien connu de la dopamine utilisée dans le traitement de la maladie de Parkinson, dans les fèves (Vicia faba) (Vf) et les pois chiche (Cicer aritinum L) (CA). Dans le cas de Vf, les différents organes ont été analysés séparément: 1) d’abord à l’état frais (F): la gousse (GF), les cotylédons (CF), l’enveloppe de la graine (EF) et le placenta (PF) qui est l’organe par lequel la graine se fixe à la gousse, 2) ensuite à l’état sec (S): l’enveloppe de la graine (ES) et les cotylédones (CS), et enfin 3) à l’état germé (Ge): enveloppe (EGe), cotylédones (CGe) et germe (GeVf). Les résultats obtenus montrent que la teneur en L-dopa est inégalement répartie entre les différentes parties de Vf à l’état frais. Mais le point le plus important à souligner est la prédominance de la L-dopa dans le PF avec une teneur (~ 60 mg/g de masse humide, mh) parfois 7 fois plus élevée (p≤0.05) que celle des autres parties considérées de Vf germés et non germés. Dans le cas de CA, La concentration de L-dopa dans les grains secs germés est supérieure à celles trouvées dans tous les organes de Vf analysés à l’exception de PF.

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate, by UV/VIS spectrophotometry, the distribution of L-dopa, known as precursor of dopamine which is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, in broad beans (Vicia faba) (Vf) and chickpea (Cicer aritinum L.) (CA). In the case of Vf, the different organs were analyzed separately: 1) First, in the fresh state: pod (GF), cotyledons (CF), green shell (EF) and placenta (PF) which is the organ through which the seed is attached to the pod, 2) in the dry state (S): peel of the dry seed (ES) and cotyledons (CS), and 3) in the germinated state: peel (EGe), cotyledons (CGe) and germ (GeVf). Results showed that the content of L-dopa is unevenly distributed between different parts of fresh Vf. But the most important result concerns the predominance of L-dopa in placenta with an L-dopa content (~ 60 mg/g of wet weight, ww) sometimes 7-fold higher (p≤0.05) than those of other considered parts of fresh Vf. In the case of CA, the L-dopa concentration in germinated gains was higher than those found in all analyzed Vf organs, excepted PF.
