“…Considering that current chemotherapy is often inadequate to treat these diseases and the alarming cases of resistance, the search for new therapeutics is urgently needed (Cribb et al, 2019;Müller Kratz et al, 2018). In addition, according to preliminary studies present in the scientific literature, there is limited data on the chemical constitution and some biological activities of H. speciosa leaf extracts (Bitencourt et al, 2019;Jácome et al, 2022). Therefore, we propose here the phytochemical analysis and testing of the antiparasitic potential of H. speciosa Gomes leaf extracts against Schistosoma mansoni and Trypanosoma cruzi.…”

Medicinal plants are viable for threating various diseases, as the metabolites they contain demonstrate a great diversity of biological activities. In this study, we conducted a phytochemical analysis and evaluated of the in vitro antiparasitic activity of extracts from the leaves of Hancornia speciosa, popularly known as mangabeira, against Trypanossoma cruzi and Schistosoma mansoni parasites. We collected the leaves of this species in the municipality of Urutaí - GO, and obtained an ethanolic extract, in which classes of organic acid compounds, coumarins, reducing sugars, catechin tannins, foaming saponins and flavonoids were identified by phytochemical analysis. The antiparasitic evaluation of the fractions obtained showed that H. speciosa was ineffective against S. mansoni. However, the hexane fraction of the extract of mangaba is moderately effective against T. cruzi, demonstrating IC50 values of 31.71 mg mL-1. This is the first time the antiparasitic activity of H. speciosa has been described in the literature.
