The anti-malarials quinine and artemisinin were isolated from traditionally used plants (Cinchona spp. Artemisia annua, respectively). synthetic quinoline (e.g. chloroquine) semi-synthetic derivatives artesunate) developed based on these natural products. Malaria is endemic to the Amazon region where Plasmodium falciparum vivax drug-resistance of concern. There an urgent need for new anti-malarials. Traditionally Amazonian may provide treatments drug-resistant P. falciparum. Herein, in vitro...

Indole alkaloids ellipticine (1), cryptolepine triflate (2a), rationally designed 11-(4-piperidinamino)cryptolepine hydrogen dichloride (2b) and olivacine (3) (an isomer of 1) were evaluated in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum vivo berghei-infected mice. 1-3 inhibited P. (IC₅₀≤1.4 μM, order activity: 2b>1>2a>3). In toxicity to murine macrophages was revealed selectivity indices (SI) 10-12 for 2a SI>2.8×10² 1, 2b 3. 1 administered orally at 50mg/kg/day highly active berghei (in inhibition...

Picrolemma sprucei Hook. f. (Simaroubaceae) is a medicinal plant that used throughout the Amazon region in treatment of malaria. No previous report has been published on biological activity or chemical composition fruit this species. In present study, antimalarial effects from P. was evaluated. Furthermore, rapid and simple thin-layer chromatography-photodensitometry (TLC-PD) analytical method utilized for semi-quantitative determination quassinoids isobrucein B (1) neosergeolide (2) fruit....
