Apoptosis-like cell death upon kinetoplastid induction by compounds isolated from the brown algae Dictyota spiralis

Abstract Background The in vitro activity of the brown seaweed Dictyota spiralis against both Leishmania amazonensis and Trypanosoma cruzi was evaluated in a previous study. Processing by bio-guided fractionation resulted in the isolation of three active compounds, classified as diterpenes. In the p...
