Abstract:
Petroleum ether and methylene chloride extracts of Peperomia galioides and three prenylated diphenols, grifolic acid, grifolin and piperogalin exhibited in vitro antileishmanial activity. During the course of infection of BALB/c mice with Leishmania amazonensis, the treatments with each of these compounds did not influence the progression of the disease.
