Evaluation of some Iranian plants for in vitro antiplasmodial activitie
Authors
Abstract:
Fourteen plant species collected in Iran and selected mainly on the basis of their antimicrobial and/or antifungal activities were evaluated for in vitro antiplasmodial and cytotoxic effects in a study designed to screen plant extracts with selective activity against Plasmodium falciparum. The methanol extracts of nine of the species tested exhibit activity against Plasmodium falciparum (MIC values

In vitro Anti-epimastigote Activity of some Iranian Medicinal Plants
Some medicinal plants are a potential source of new drugs, in order to improve the treatment of Chagas disease whose treatment is still a challenge. In this study, the in vitro anti-epimastigote activity of certain fractions of Achillea biebersteinii, A. millefolium, Satureja mutica and S. macrantha was evaluated. Diethyl ether fractions of Achillea species and acetone fractions of Satureja spe...

full textSynthesis and in vitro antiplasmodial evaluation of some isoquine analogues
Isoquine is the regioisomer of amodiaquine that can not form hepato and haematotoxic active metabolites by biotransformation unlike amodiaquine. In present investigation, five new isoquine analogues were synthesized by a two-step method, characterized by spectral analyses and subsequently evaluated in vitro against the chloroquine sensitive RKL-2 strain of Plasmodium falciparum by JSB staining ...
full textIn vitro antiplasmodial activity and toxicity assessment of some plants from Nigerian ethnomedicine.
CONTEXT The emergence and spread of Plasmodium falciparum-resistant parasites to nearly all available antimalarial drugs pose a threat to malaria control and necessitates the need to continue the search for new effective and affordable drugs. Ethnomedicine has been shown to be a potential source of antimalarial compounds or source of template for the synthesis of novel antimalarial molecules. ...

BACKGROUND Resistance of malaria parasites to existing drugs complicates treatment, but an antimalarial vaccine that could protect against this disease is not yet available. It is therefore necessary to find new effective and affordable medicines. Medicinal plants could be a potential source of antimalarial agents. Some medicinal plants from Burkina Faso were evaluated for their antiplasmodial ...
