In vitroinhibitory effects of palmatine fromEnantia chloranthaonTrypanosoma cruziandLeishmania infantum
摘要:
In an attempt to establish the components responsible for the use of Enantia chlorantha against cutaneous leishmaniasis in local traditional medicine, a well-known palmatine has been isolated in substantial amounts from a methanolic bark extract of this plant species. Palmatine therein obtained exhibited a significant inhibitory activity on growth of both Trypanosoma cruzi (IC50 0.068 mu M) and Leishmania infantum (IC50 0.79 mu M).
