Abstract

Background: Leishmaniasis is a complex disease with a broad spectrum of clinical features, usually divided into cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL), and visceral leishmaniasis (VL). PLANT EXTRACTS or plant-derived compounds are likely to provide a valuable source of new medicinal agents. In endemic countries, a number of traditional plants are commonly used to treat infectious conditions.Advances in the research of natural products for the treatment of leishmaniasis have been recently reviewed.To evaluate, anti-Leishmanial activity of three PLANT EXTRACTS on LEISHMANIA MAJOR promastigotes as compared to a trivalent antimonial compound (tartar emetic), in vitro.Materials and methods: promastigote stages of L.major (MRHO/IR/75/ER) were transferred to RPMI-1640 medium, supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and antibiotics then grown at 25±2oC. The biological activity of PLANT EXTRACTS in comparison to potassium antimonyl tartrate [Sb (III)] on L.major promastigotes were assessed by using a MTT ASSAY. The optical density (OD) due to cleavage of the tetrazolium salt MTT [3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] into a colored product formazan by the parasite was measured by ELISA reader. The IC50 values (50% inhibitory concentrations) were determined, accordingly.All experiments were repeated in duplicate.Results: PLANT EXTRACTS and tartar emetic inhibited the growth of promastigote forms of L.major in vitro after 72 hour of incubation and drug control had a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 4.7mg/ml, and IC50 values of PLANT EXTRACTS ARTEMISIA AUCHERI, FERULA ASA-FOETIDA and GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM were 7.5, 5.9 and 3.6mg/ml, respectively. Although GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM was more effective than others, but all extracts had profound effect on promastigotes of L.major.Conclusion: PLANT EXTRACTS including ARTEMISIA AUCHERI, FERULA ASA-FOETIDA and GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM have anti-leishmanial effects in vitro. Further works are required to evaluate the exact effect of these extracts on Leishmania species in animal models.
