Leishmanicidal activity of Brosimum glaziovii (Moraceae) and chemical compositi...
Coqueiro,Aline; Regasini,Luis O.; Leme,Gabriel M.; Polese,Luciana; Nogueira,Camila T.; Del Cistia,Mayara L.; Graminha,Marcia A. S.As part of our ongoing SisBiota CNPq/FAPESP and Biota-FAPESP bioprospecting programs, this paper deals with the leishmanicidal properties of Brosimum glaziovii (Moraceae), and used gas chromatography analysis to determine the chemical composition of these fractions. The extracts and fractions from the leaves and branches of B. glaziovii were screened against Leishmania amazonensis. The hexane fractions from the...
