Antiamoebic and antiplasmodial activities of alkaloids isolated from <strong>Strychnos</strong> us<br />

1991<br />

Planta Medica<br />

57(4): 337-340<br />

Abstract<br />

Seven alkaloids isolated from <strong>Strychnos</strong> usambarensis have been assessed <strong>for</strong> in vitro activities<br />

against Entamoeba histolytica and Plasmodium falciparum and <strong>for</strong> in vivo activity against<br />

Plasmodium berghei in mice. Strychnopentamine and 3',4'-dihydrousambarensine were highly active<br />

against P. falciparum in vitro, but were inactive and non-toxic against P. berghei in vivo.<br />

Usambarensine, usambarine, and 18,19-dihydrousambarine were highly active against E. histolytica<br />

in vitro, but were less active against P. falciparum in vitro. N(b)-Methylusambarensine was less<br />

active against both protozoa than was usambarensine, and akagerine possessed little antiprotozoal<br />

activity. Structure-activity relationships are discussed in <strong>the</strong> context of <strong>the</strong> reported cytotoxic and<br />

p harmacological properties of <strong>the</strong>se alkaloids.<br />
