In vitro activity of hypnophilin from Lentinus strigosus: a potential prototype for Chagas disease and leishmaniasis chemotherapy
Hypnophilin and panepoxydone, terpenoids isolated from Lentinus strigosus, have significant inhibitory activity onTrypanosoma cruzi trypanothione reductase (TR). Although they have similar TR inhibitory activity at 10 μg/mL (40.3 μM and 47.6 μM for hypnophilin and panepoxy...
