Antiprotozoal activity of major constituents from the bioactive fraction of Verbesina encelioides

Listed in DataCite

The bioactive petroleum ether fraction of Verbesina encelioides , previously studied by the authors, was chosen for the isolation of antiprotozoal metabolites.

Description

Pseudotaraxasterol-3β-acetate ( 1 ), benzyl 2,6-dimethoxy benzoate ( 2 ), 16β-hydroxy-pseudotaraxasterol-3β-palmitate ( 3 ) and pseudotaraxasterol ( 4 ), in addition to β -sitosterol glucoside ( 5 ) and β -sitosterol galactoside ( 6) were isolated and identified based on one-dimensional and two-dimensional spectral analysis.

This is the first report describing (3) and (6) in genus Verbesina . The isolated compounds were tested in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum , Trypanosoma brucei , Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infantum . Cytotoxicity was evaluated on MRC-5 cells.

Compound 1 showed moderate to weak activity against L. infantum T. brucei and P. falciparum and was inactive against T. cruzi. Compound 3 showed moderate activity against L. infantum , compound 4 revealed weak activity against T. cruzi , while 5 and 6 were inactive against all tested protozoa. All compounds were non-cytotoxic.

The isolated constituents showed less antiprotozoal activity than the crude fraction.
