ABSTRACT
Abstract The aim was to scrutinize the in vivo and in vitro activities against Leishmania tropica with compounds of Oxyresveratrol, Quercetin O-Hexoside, and Quercetin 3-Glucoside. The in vitro outcomes against Leishmania were analyzed for 24-48 hours on L. tropica KWH23 promastigotes with compounds materials having 50 - 200 µg/mL concentration with negative control and standard drug Amphotericin B. The compounds were analyzed in L. tropica infected BALB/c mice against Leishmania tropica. The Quercetin 3-Glucoside shows mean inhibition of extracellular promastigotes after 48 hours at 50, 100, 150, 200 µg/mL were 91.02 ± 0.12, 94.50 ± 0.07, 96.15 ± 0.17 and 97.01 ± 0.08 % respectively. In BALB/c mice, the intracellular amastigotes were 91% cured at 200 µg/mL and mean lesion size decreased to 0.41 ± 0.21 mm (p < 0.01). The result shows that Quercetin 3-Glucoside possesses significant anti-leishmanial activity.
