Synergistic Effect of Lupenone and Caryophyllene Oxide against Trypanosoma cruzi
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The in vitro trypanocidal activity of a 1 : 4 mixture of lupenone and caryophyllene oxide confirmed a synergistic effect of the terpenoids against epimastigotes forms of T. cruzi (IC50 = 10.4 μg/mL, FIC = 0.46). In addition, testing of the terpenoid mixture for its capacity to reduce the number of amastigote nests in cardiac tissue and skeletal muscle ...
