Resumo
This study aimed to evaluate the leishmanicidal activity of ethanol extract, fractions, and isolated substance from Handroanthus
serratifolius against Leishmania amazonensis. Furthermore, this activity was related to cytotoxicity, and the selectivity index was
determined.The ethanol extract was obtained by maceration of the stem powder, and the extract was subjected to fractionation on
chromatographic column. The lapachol was obtained by acid base extraction followed by purification in chromatographic column.
The antipromastigote activity and cytotoxicity tests were carried out by the cell viabilitymethod (MTT).Modified THP-1 cells were
infected with L. amazonensis promastigotes and treated for 24 h with different concentrations of the extract, fractions, and lapachol.
Theethanol extract, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate fractions were not active against promastigotes (IC50 > 200 𝜇g/mL) or cytotoxic
(CC50 > 500 𝜇g/mL), and the selectivity index (SI)was greater than 2.5.The ethyl acetate fractionwas active only in promastigotes;
it is not cytotoxic (CC50 > 500 𝜇g/mL, SI > 5).The lapachol was selectively active only against amastigote (IS > 2.5, CC50 >
500 𝜇g/mL). In summary, lapachol and ethyl acetate fraction are promising against amastigote and promastigote forms, respectively.
