| Abstract |
|
The leaves and the root extracts of Moringa stenopetala were tested in vitro against trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi and L. donovani amastigotes. The fresh root wood ethanol extract and the dried leaves acetone extract were found to be active against T. brucei with an ED50 value of 9.2 $μ$g/mL and 10.0 $μ$g/mL respectively. All the other extracts were inactive against all the tested parasite forms.
