- Researchers tested nine Brazilian plant species for their ability to combat malaria by examining their extracts for antiplasmodial activity.
- The study focused on alkaloid and ethanol extracts against resistant and sensitive strains of Plasmodium falciparum, finding that alkaloid extracts were generally more effective.
- Notably, Guatteria australis showed the highest activity with an IC(50) of 0.3 microg/mL, with three species identified as promising for further research based on their low IC(50) values.
