Abstract
The ethanol extract of Zhumeria majdae showed potent antileishmanial and antiplasmodial activity in vitro. Bioactivity guided fractionation of the extract led to the isolation of 12,16-dideoxy aegyptinone B. This compound exhibited potent in vitro antileishmanial activity with an IC(50) of 0.75 microg/mL and a strong antiplasmodial activity with IC(50) values of 1.3 and 1.4 microg/mL against chloroquine sensitive and resistant strains, respectively. This compound was further found to have mild cytotoxicity towards cancer cell lines.Entities:
