2021, Pharmacological ResearchCitation Excerpt :Interestingly, IBC or 4-hydroxylonchocarpine alone was inactive against Trypanosoma cruzi, which is the causative agent of Chagas disease. While their combination displayed an inhibitory effect [41]. Oxidative stress caused by excessive ROS production and/or decreased antioxidant ability leads to DNA hydroxylation, protein denaturation, and lipid peroxidation.
Synthesis and evaluation of novel chromanone and quinolinone analogues of uniflorol as anti-leishmanial agents
2020, HeliyonCitation Excerpt :Notably however, in these latter two studies, activity was more prominent in 2-chromanones rather than in 4-chromanones. The importance of a chromene or chromanone system for anti-leishmanial activity in several natural products was underlined by the work of Sandjo et al, who tested a series of six natural products alone and in combination and found that the presence of these intact ring systems enhanced activity compared to their ring-opened analogues [12]. Chroman-4-one analogues of flavonols have also been evaluated against L. major, with 11 showing binding to the enzyme LmPTR1 and weak (31% at 50μM) inhibition of L. infantum [13].
In vivo antileishmanial efficacy of a naphthoquinone derivate incorporated into a Pluronic <sup>®</sup> F127-based polymeric micelle system against Leishmania amazonensis infection
2019, Biomedicine and PharmacotherapyCitation Excerpt :Due to their structural properties, quinones can participate in multiple oxidative processes. Their fundamental feature is the redox property, which is induced by means of the formation of a fully aromatic system [41]. In spite of the use of synthetic naphthoquinone derivatives, the mechanisms involved in their cytotoxicity are still unknown.
