BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Leishmaniasis is a globally prevalent vector-borne disease caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania. The available chemotherapeutic drugs present problems related to efficacy, emergence of parasite resistance, toxicity and high cost, justifying the search for new drugs. Several classes of compounds have demonstrated activity against Leishmania, including icetexane-type diterpenes, previously isolated from Salvia and other Lamiaceae genera. Thus, in this study, compounds of Salvia procurrens were investigated for their leishmanicidal and immunomodulatory activities.
METHODS: The exudate of S. procurrens was obtained by rapidly dipping the aerial parts in dichloromethane. The compounds were isolated by column and centrifugal planar chromatography over silica gel. The effects on L. amazonensis growth, survival, membrane integrity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, mitochondrial membrane potential and cytotoxicity of the compounds towards human erythrocytes, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and macrophages were evaluated. The effects on intracellular amastigote forms, nitric oxide (NO) and TNF-α production were also investigated.
RESULTS: The exudate from the leaves afforded the novel icetexane 7-hydroxyfruticulin A (1) as well as the known demethylisofruticulin A (2), fruticulin A (3) and demethylfruticulin A (4). The compounds (1-4) were tested against promastigotes of L. amazonensis and showed an effective inhibition of the parasite survival (IC50 = 4.08-16.26 μM). In addition, they also induced mitochondrial ROS production, plasma membrane permeability and mitochondrial dysfunction in treated parasites, and presented low cytotoxicity against macrophages. Furthermore, all diterpenes tested reduced the number of parasites inside macrophages, by mechanisms involving TNF-α, NO and ROS.
CONCLUSION: The results suggest the potential of 7-hydroxyfruticulin A (1) as well as the known demethylisofruticulin A (2),fruticulin A (3) and demethylfruticulin A (4) as candidates for use in further studies on the design of anti-leishmanial drugs.
