Abstract

Methanolic extracts of Annona muricata and A. cherimolia (Annonaceae) seeds were tested for antiparasitic activity against E. histolytica, N. brasiliensis, M. dessetae and A. salina. The acetogenins isolated from these extracts are found to be responsible for the important activity on infective larvae of Molinema dessetae.

Key words

Annona muricata - Annona cherimolia - acetogenins - antiparasitic activity - Molinema dessetae
