Antiplasmodial activity of aspidosperma indole alkaloids<br />

2002<br />

Phytomedicine<br />

9(2): 142-145<br />

Abstract<br />

The antiplasmodial activity of twelve alkaloids with an aspidospermane skeleton was estimated in<br />

vitro on chloroquine-resistant and sensitive strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Seven tetracyclic<br />

alkaloids possessing a free ethyl chain such aspidospermine, showed IC50 after incubation <strong>for</strong> 72 h<br />

between 3.2 and 15.4 muM. Moreover, four pentacyclic alkaloids with ethyl chain included in a<br />

tetrahydrofuran, such haplocine, showed a reduced activity, with IC50, after 72 h, between 22.6 and<br />

52.6 muM. According to <strong>the</strong>se results, a chloroquine-potentiating experiment was also per<strong>for</strong>med<br />

with two of <strong>the</strong> most active compounds. Isobolograms were obtained and demonstrated a synergic<br />

effect of N-<strong>for</strong>myl-aspidospermidine and aspidospermine when associated with chloroquine. The<br />

cytotoxicity and <strong>the</strong> selectivity index of some alkaloids were also estimated.<br />
