چکیده
A novel stilbene glycoside [piceid-(1-->6)-beta-d-glucopyranoside; PBG] from Parthenocissus tricuspidata was tested in vivo against Plasmodium berghei. PBG exhibited significant blood schizontocidal activity in a 4-day early infection, a repository evaluation, and an established infection, with a significant mean survival time comparable to that obtained with the standard drug, chloroquine (5 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1)).

متن کاملCryptolepine and development of new antimalarial agents
Natural product-derived drugs exemplified by quinine, isolated from South American Cinchona species and artemisinin discovered in China are of immense importance for the treatment of malaria. Although malaria parasites resistant to artemisinin have not yet been found in malaria patients, the need for new antimalarial agents remains. The burden of malaria is heaviest in Africa where over a milli...
