| Abstract: | The activity of jatrogrossidione, the main diterpene of Jatropha grossidentata and jatrophone from Jatropha isabellii was determined against Leishmania and Trypanosoma cruzi strains in vitro as well as against Leishmania amazonensis in vivo. Jatrogrossidione showed a strong in vitro leishmanicidal and trypanocidal activity with IC100 of 0.75 and 1.5-5.0 g/mL, respectively. Under similar conditions, the IC100 of glucantime, ketoconazole and pentamidine towards Leishmania strains were >100, 50-100 and 1 g/mL, respectively. The IC50 of jatrogrossidione was <0.25 g/mL against amastigote forms of Leishmania infecting macrophages, with toxicity at concentrations higher than 0.5 g/mL. |
