derivatives were evaluated against Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes. The cytotoxicity of the
compounds was evaluated on murine splenocytes. Cumanin diacetate was one of the most
active and selective compounds [IC50= 3.20±0.52 μg/mL, selectivity index (SI)= 26.0]. This
sesquiterpene lactone was selected for its evaluation on trypomastigote and amastigote
forms of the parasite. The diacetylated derivative of cumanin showed moderate activity on …
