Trypanocidal Activity of Smallanthus sonchifolius: Identification of Active Sesquiterpene Lactones by Bioassay-Guided Fractionation

Figure 1

Growth inhibition of T. cruzi epimastigotes by S. sonchifolius OE and fractions F 1A to F 5B. Epimastigotes were cultured in triplicate in the presence of 10 or 100 µg/mL of OE or each fraction. Cultures were done in 96-well plates with 1.5 × 106 parasites/mL during 72 h with the addition of [3H] thymidine for the last 16 h. Bars represent means ± SEM.
