Antiparasitic Activity of Isolated Fractions from Parthenium incanum Kunth against the Hemoflagellate Protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:622. [PMID: 39061304 PMCID: PMC11273898 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13070622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This study focused on isolating, identifying, and evaluating the trypanocidal potential against the hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi of compounds from Parthenium incanum (Mariola), a plant used in traditional Mexican medicine to treat stomach and liver disorders. P. incanum has a wide distribution in Mexico. This study found that methanolic extracts of P. incanum, obtained by static maceration and successive reflux, had promising results. The fractions were compared using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and those that showed similarities were mixed. A bioguided assay was performed with Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, using agar diffusion and bioautography techniques to determine the preliminary biological activity. The fractions with antimicrobial activity were purified using a preparative thin-layer chromatography (PTLC) plate, obtaining the bioactive bandages that were subjected to a trypanocidal evaluation against the Ninoa strain of T. cruzi in its epimastigote stage. This revealed an IC50 of up to 45 ± 2.5 µg/mL, in contrast to the values obtained from the crude extracts of less than 100 µg/mL. The TLC, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) techniques were used to identify the compounds, demonstrating the presence of sesquiterpene lactones, parthenin, and coronopolin. We concluded that these compounds have the potential to inhibit T. cruzi growth.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis, produced by Leishmania spp., and Chagas disease, produced by Trypanosoma cruzi, affect millions of people around the world. The treatments for these pathologies are not entirely effective and produce some side effects. For these reasons, it is necessary to develop new therapies that are more active and less toxic for patients. Some initiatives, such as the one carried out by the Medicines for Malaria Venture, allow for the screening of a large number of compounds of different origins to find alternatives to the lack of trypanocide treatments. In this work, 240 compounds were tested from the Global Health Priority Box (80 compounds with confirmed activity against drug-resistant malaria, 80 compounds for screening against neglected and zoonotic diseases and diseases at risk of drug resistance, and 80 compounds with activity against various vector species) against Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania amazonensis. Flucofuron, a compound with activity against vectors and with previous activity reported against Staphylococcus spp. and Schistosoma spp., demonstrates activity against L. amazonensis and T. cruzi and produces programmed cell death in the parasites. Flucofuron seems to be a good candidate for continuing study and proving its use as a trypanocidal agent.

Pal R, Teli G, Akhtar MJ, Matada GSP. The role of natural anti-parasitic guided development of synthetic drugs for leishmaniasis. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 258:115609. [PMID: 37421889 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease and categorised as a neglected tropical disease (NTD). Each year, between 70,0000 and 1 million new cases are believed to occur. There are approximately 90 sandfly species which can spread the Leishmania parasites (over 20 species) causing 20,000 to 30,000 death per year. Currently, leishmaniasis has no specific therapeutic treatment available. The prescribed drugs with several drawbacks including high cost, challenging administration, toxicity, and drug resistance led to search for the alternative treatment with less toxicity and selectivity. Introducing the molecular features like that of phytoconstituents for the search of compounds with less toxicity is another promising approach. The current review classifies the synthetic compounds according to the core rings present in the natural phytochemicals for the development of antileishmanial agents (2020-2022). Considering the toxicity and limitations of synthetic analogues, natural compounds are at the higher notch in terms of effectiveness and safety. Synthesized compounds of chalcones (Compound 8; IC50: 0.03 μM, 4.7 folds more potent than Amphotericin B; IC50: 0.14 μM), pyrimidine (compound 56; against L. tropica; 0.04 μM and L. infantum; 0.042 μM as compared to glucantime: L. tropica; 8.17 μM and L. infantum; 8.42 μM), quinazoline and (compound 72; 0.021 μM, 150 times more potent than miltefosine). The targeted delivery against DHFR have been demonstrated by one of the pyrimidine compounds 62 with an IC50 value of 0.10 μM against L. major as compared to the standard trimethoprim (IC50: 20 μM). The review covers the medicinal importance of antileishmanial agents from synthetic and natural sources such as chalcone, pyrazole, coumarins, steroids, and alkaloidal-containing drugs (indole, quinolines, pyridine, pyrimidine, carbolines, pyrrole, aurones, and quinazolines). The efforts of introducing the core rings present in the natural phytoconstituents as antileishmanial in the synthetic compounds are discussed with their structural activity relationship. The perspective will support the medicinal chemists in refining and directing the development of novel molecules phytochemicals-based antileishmanial agents.

Abstract
Artemisia divaricate belongs to the Artemisia genus of the family of Compositae, a sort of perennial herb endemic in most regions of China. For the first time, a phytochemical investigation was carried out on the whole plant of Artemisia divaricate, resulting in the identification of 39 sesquiterpenes, with 9 of them being new (1-9). The structures of the new compounds were fully established using extensive analysis of MS and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data and density functional theory (DFT) NMR calculations. Their structures involve germacrane, eudesmane, and bisabolane types. All the new isolates were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophages of RAW 264.7 cells. Compounds 2 and 8 showed a significant inhibition effect on NO production, with IC50 values of 5.35 ± 0.75 and 7.68 ± 0.54 µM, respectively.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis and Chagas disease, two of the most prevalent neglected tropical diseases, are a world health problem. The harsh reality of these infective diseases is the absence of effective and safe therapies. In this framework, natural products play an important role in overcoming the current need to development new antiparasitic agents. The present study reports the synthesis, antikinetoplastid screening, mechanism study of fourteen withaferin A derivatives (2-15). Nine of them (2-6, 8-10 and 12) showed a potent dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of Leishmania amazonensis and L. donovani promastigotes and Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes with IC50 values ranging from 0.19 to 24.01 µM. Outstandingly, the fully acetylated derivative 10 (4,27-diacetylwithaferin A) was the most potent compound showing IC50 values of 0.36, 2.82 and 0.19 µM against L. amazonensis, L. donovani and T. cruzi, respectively. Furthermore, analogue 10 exhibited approximately 18 and 36-fold greater antikinetoplastid activity, on L. amazonensis and T. cruzi, than the reference drugs. The activity was accompanied by significantly lower cytotoxicity on the murine macrophage cell line. Moreover, compounds 2, 3, 5-7, 9 and 10 showed more potent activity than the reference drug against the intracellular amastigotes forms of L. amazonensis and T.cruzi, with a good selectivity index on a mammalian cell line. In addition, withaferin A analogues 3, 5-7, 9 and 10 induce programmed cell death through a process of apoptosis-like and autophagy. These results strengthen the anti-parasitic potential of withaferin A-related steroids against neglected tropical diseases caused by Leishmania spp. and T. cruzi parasites.

Abstract
Current therapies of leishmaniasis and Chagas disease, two of the most widespread neglected tropical diseases, have limited efficacy and toxic side effects. In this regard, natural products play an important role in overcoming the current need for new antiparasitic agents. The present study reports the leishmanicidal and trypanocidal activities of twenty-four known silyl-ether derivatives of withaferin A. Eleven compounds from this series (4, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 20, 22 and 25) showed a potent dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes and Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes respectively, even higher than the references drugs, miltefosine and benznidazole. Among them, the most promising compound, derivative 10, exhibited approximately 34-fold higher leishmanicidal activity and 49-fold higher trypanocidal activity compared to the reference drugs, as well as lower cytotoxicity. Moreover, compounds 4, 7, 10, 12 and 15 were more active than the reference drugs against the amastigote forms of L. amazonensis, presenting a high selectivity index. Assays performed to study the ATP levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, plasma membrane permeability, chromatin condensation, reactive oxygen species and autophagy indicated that these withaferin A-silyl analogs appear to induce events characteristic of apoptosis-like and also autophagy leading to programmed cell death. These findings support the therapeutic potential of withaferin A-related steroids as anti-Leishmania and Trypanosoma agents.
