1. Isolation and characterization of sesquiterpene lactones from Calea uniflora Less. and their leishmanicidal and trypanocidal activities
Calea uniflora Less., commonly known in Brazil as “erva-de-lagarto” and “arnica-da-praia”, is used in folk medicine to treat internal and external bruises and as anti-inflammatory. However, despite the popular use there is a lack of information in terms of isolation and biological evaluation of its secondary metabolites. Thus, the aims of this study

2. Trypanocidal Activity and Increased Solubility of Benznidazole Incorporated in PEG 4000 and Its Derivatives
Selecting a polymer depends on its characteristics, the properties of the drug and of the remaining ingredients in the formulation. The drug, when incorporated into a polymeric matrix, can show several advantages when compared with its conventional form. In this context, this work describes the preparation and characterization of polyethylene glycol (PEG 400

3. Design, Synthesis, Trypanocidal Activity, and Studies on Human Album in Interaction of Novel S-Alkyl-1,2,4-triazoles
Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the hemoflagellated parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida). The only available drug to treat chagasic patients in Brazil, the nitroheterocycle benznidazole, is effective solely during the acute phase of the infection. There is accordingly a need to develop new therapeutic tools for the treatment o

4. In vitro genotoxicity of nitroimidazoles as a tool in the search of new trypanocidal agents
BACKGROUND Only benznidazole (Bnz) (1) and nifurtimox (Nfx) (2) are licensed for the treatment of Chagas disease although their safety and efficacy profile are far from ideal. Farmanguinhos from Fiocruz has developed seven nitroimidazole compounds (4-10) analogs of megazol (3). OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the genotoxic effect of 3 was abolished in the

5. Biosynthetic Insights into p-Hydroxybenzoic Acid-Derived Benzopyrans in Piper gaudichaudianum
Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth (Piperaceae) accumulates gaudichaudianic acid, a prenylated benzopyran, as its major component. Interestingly, this trypanocidal compound occurs as a racemic mixture. Herein, transcriptomic investigations of Piper gaudichaudianum using the RNA-seq approach are reported, and from the analysis of the transcripts expressed it was pos

6. Synthesis of 3,5-Diarylisoxazole Derivatives and Evaluation of in vitro Trypanocidal Activity
Chagas disease is included in the neglected tropical diseases list and is endemic to 21 Latin American countries. The two drugs currently available for treating Chagas disease are nifurtimox and benznidazole and both result in many significant side effects. The study describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles. Isoxazole

7. Anti-Trypanosoma Activity and Synergistic Effects of Natural and Semi-Synthetic Triterpenes and Predominant Cell Death through Autophagy in Amastigote Forms
Chagas' disease is a parasitic disease with unsatisfactory treatment, mainly in chronic stage. This study aimed to evaluate the trypanocidal activity and action mechanisms of α/β-amyrin and its semi-synthetic derivatives, together with four isolated natural triterpenes, tested against trypomastigote and amastigote forms. The structure-activity relationship

8. Dipyridamole potentiated the trypanocidal effect of nifurtimox and improved the cardiac function in NMRI mice with acute chagasic myocarditis
BACKGROUND As chronic Chagas disease does not have a definitive treatment, the development of alternative therapeutic protocols is a priority. Dipyridamole (DPY) is an alternative to counteract the pathophysiological phenomena involved in Chagas cardiomyopathy. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of DPY associated with nifurtimox (Nfx) in epim

9. Development and validation of a stability indicating method for quantification of the sesquiterpene lactone eremantholide C from Lychnophora trichocarpha (Brazilian arnica)
ABSTRACT Pharmacological activities as anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperuricemic, anti-gouty arthritis, antitumor and trypanocidal activities of the aerial parts from Lychnophora trichocarpha (Spreng.) Spreng. ex Sch.Bip., Asteraceae (Brazilian arnica) have already been proved. Eremantholide C is a sesquiterpene lactone and one of the active chemical constituent

10. Trichilia catigua: therapeutic and cosmetic values
ABSTRACT Medicinal plants play an important role in human health care. It is estimated that about 25–30% of all drugs are evaluated as therapeutic agents derived from natural products. Research in the pharmaceutical industry has demonstrated that for complex diseases, natural products still represent a valuable source for the production of new chemical com

11. Differential expression on mitochondrial tryparedoxin peroxidase (mTcTXNPx) in Trypanosoma cruzi after ferrocenyl diamine hydrochlorides treatments
Abstract Resistance to benznidazole in certain strains of Trypanosoma cruzi may be caused by the increased production of enzymes that act on the oxidative metabolism, such as mitochondrial tryparedoxin peroxidase which catalyses the reduction of peroxides. This work presents cytotoxicity assays performed with ferrocenyl diamine hydrochlorides in six differen

12. A New Furanoheliangolide Sesquiterpene Lactone from Calea pinnatifida (R. Br.) Less. (Asteraceae) and Evaluation of Its Trypanocidal and Leishmanicidal Activities
Calea pinnatifida (R. Br.) Less. is commonly known in Brazil as "cipó-cruz", "quebra-tudo" or "aruca". This species is employed in folk medicine as giardicidal, amoebicidal and to treat digestive disorders. The present paper describes the isolation and structure determination of a new furanoheliangolide sesquiterpene lactone named 11,13-dihydroxy-calaxin, i
