Abstract

Front Cover. The essential oils from Dysphania ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin & Clemants (Amaranthaceae), and Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E. Brown (Verbenaceae) leaves, grown in Brazil Southeast showed high activities against Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigote and amastigote forms. These essential oils displayed moderate toxicity against LLCMK2 cells, but the essential oil of D. ambrosioides showed a high selectivity index (SI) for trypomastigote and amastigote forms. On the other hand, the essential oil of Tetradenia riparia (Hochst.) Codd (Lamiaceae) grown in Brazil Southeast displayed the best in vivo trypanocidal effects by reducing the parasitemia after intraperitoneal administration as reported by Pagotti et al. in their full paper at 10.1002/cbdv.202100678.
