Report of in vitro antileishmanial properties of Iberian macroalgae
Bruno De Sousa, Carolina; Lago, Joao Henrique G.; Macridachis, Jorge; Oliveira, Marta; Fonseca Brito, Luis; Vizetto-Duarte, Catarina; Florindo, ClaudiaHere is reported the anti Leishmania infantum activity of 48 hexane, CH2Cl2 and MeOH extracts from 16 macroalgae collected on the Iberian Coast. Seven hexane and CH2Cl2 Cystoseira baccata, Cystoseira barbata, Cystoseira tamariscifolia, Cystoseira usneoides, Dictyota spiralis and Plocamium cartilagineum extracts were active towards promastigotes (IC50 29.8-101.8 mu g/mL) inducing strong morphological alterations...

Cystoseira algae (Fucaceae): update on their chemical entities and biological a...
Bruno De Sousa, Carolina; Gangadhar N. Katkam, Dr.; Macridachis, Jorge; Pavao, Madalena; Morais, Thiago R.; Campino, LeneaCystoseira (Sargassaceae) is a genus of marine brown algae composed of about 40 species, which is distributed along the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. The biological potential of the Cystoseira genus has been investigated and several activities have been reported. Chemically, this genus contains a wide variety of secondary metabolites, such as terpenoids, steroids, phlorotannins and phenolic compoun...
