The inhibition of intracellular Leishmania amazonensis growth by 2', 6'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxychalcone (DMC) isolated from Piper aduncum was further enhanced after encapsulation of DMC in polymeric nanoparticles. Encapsulated DMC also showed increased antileishmanial activity in infected BALB/c mice, as evidenced by significantly smaller lesions and fewer parasites in the lesions.
从南美胡椒中分离出的2',6'-二羟基-4'-甲氧基查耳酮(DMC)对细胞内亚马逊利什曼原虫生长具有抑制作用,将DMC包裹于聚合物纳米颗粒后,其抑制作用进一步增强。包裹后的DMC在感染的BALB/c小鼠中也表现出增强的抗利什曼原虫活性,表现为病变显著更小且病变内的寄生虫数量更少。
