Antiplasmodial properties of kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside isolated from the leaves of Schima wallichii against chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum

Abstract: Abstract. Previous intervention studies have shown that the most effective agents used in the treatment of malaria were isolated from natural sources. Plants consumed by non-human primates serve as potential drug sources for human disease management due to the similarities in anatomy, physiology and disease characteristics. The present study investigated the antiplasmodial properties of the primate-consumed plant, Schima wallichii (S. wallichii) Korth. (family Theaceae), which has already been reported to have… Show more

“…A previous study reported the antimicrobial activity of the hydroalcoholic extract from the S. wallichii bark against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Shigella species (9). Furthermore, our previous study also reported the antiplasmodial properties of S. wallichii and its component, kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside, against chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum (10).…”

“…Medicinal plants contain numerous compounds which serve as potential drug sources for human disease management (Barliana et al, 2014). Some of the medicinal plants that have been previously reported to possess antimalarial activities in folkloric medicine include Lawsonia inermis, Chromolaena odorata and Tithonia diversifolia (Afolayan et al, 2014;Elufioye and Agbedahunsi, 2004;Idowu et al, 2010;Ukpai and Amaechi, 2012).…”

“…Flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, diterpenoids and kaempferol rhamnoside found in various medicinal plants have demonstrated antimalarial activities. [24][25][26][27] Thus the antimalarial activity of Alysicarpus glumaceus methanol extract in P. berghei infected mice might be due to the presence of one or a combination of these phytochemical constituents acting singly or in combination.…”
