Avian trichomoniasis is an important disease that causes bird mortality, both wild and captive, around the world. This study evaluated the in vitro cytotoxicity, antioxidant, and antiparasitic activity of citral (3.7-Dimetil-2.6-octadienal) and geraniol (trans-3.7-Dimetil-2.6-octadien-1-ol) against trophozoites.
In vitro assays were conducted at the Laboratory of Protozoology and Entomology (LAPEN) at the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), Brazil in 2019 using tests with 10 parasites and citral and geraniol at concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 μM and four controls: NC (culture medium and trophozoites), MTZ (trophozoites plus 100 μM of metronidazole), and TW (trophozoites plus vehicles used for solubilizing derivatives (0.01% Tween).
The citral (60 μM) and geraniol (50 μM) concentrations reduced the trophozoites's viability by 100%. The molecular docking experiment demonstrated that citral and geraniol might inhibit a hydrogen enzyme for survival.

禽毛滴虫病是一种重要疾病,在全球范围内导致野生和圈养鸟类死亡。本研究评估了柠檬醛(3,7-二甲基-2,6-辛二烯醛)和香叶醇(反式-3,7-二甲基-2,6-辛二烯-1-醇)对滋养体的体外细胞毒性、抗氧化和抗寄生虫活性。
2019年在巴西佩洛塔斯联邦大学(UFPel)的原生动物学和昆虫学实验室(LAPEN)进行体外试验,使用10个寄生虫样本以及浓度范围为10至100μM的柠檬醛和香叶醇进行测试,并设置四个对照组:NC(培养基和滋养体)、MTZ(滋养体加100μM甲硝唑)和TW(滋养体加用于溶解衍生物的载体(0.01%吐温))。
柠檬醛(60μM)和香叶醇(50μM)浓度使滋养体活力降低100%。分子对接实验表明,柠檬醛和香叶醇可能抑制一种用于生存的氢酶。
