Plants of the araceae family for malaria and related diseases: A review
Frausin, Gina; Lima, Renata Braga Souza; Hidalgo, Ari de Freitas; Ming, Linchau; Pohlit, Adrian MartinIn the current work we performed a review of the Araceae family species traditionally used to treat malaria and its symptoms. The aim is to reveal the large number of antimalarial Araceae species used worldwide and their great unexplored potential as sources of antimalarial natural products. The SciFinder Scholar, Scielo, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google books search engines were consulted. Forty-three records ...
Amazonian plant natural products: Perspectives for discovery of new antimalaria...
Pohlit, Adrian Martin; Lima, Renata Braga Souza; Frausin, Gina; Silva, Luiz Francisco Rocha e; Lopes, Stefanie C. P.; Moraes, Carolina BorsoiPlasmodium falciparum and P. vivax malaria parasites are now resistant, or showing signs of resistance, to most drugs used in therapy. Novel chemical entities that exhibit new mechanisms of antiplasmodial action are needed. New antimalarials that block transmission of Plasmodium spp. from humans to Anopheles mosquito vectors are key to malaria eradication efforts. Although P. vivax causes a considerable number ...
Plants of the annonaceae traditionally used as antimalarials: A review
Frausin, Gina; Lima, Renata Braga Souza; Hidalgo, Ari de Freitas; Maas, Paul J.M.; Pohlit, Adrian MartinSpecies of the Annonaceae family are used all over the tropics in traditional medicine in tropical regions for the treatment of malaria and other illnesses. Phytochemical studies of this family have revealed chemical components which could offer new alternatives for the treatment and control of malaria.
