Abstract

The present study has as its main objective the evaluation of the antioxidant activity in ethanolic extracts of leaves and branches of Zanthoxylum syncarpum Tull. (Rutaceae), as well as the evaluation of the toxic effects of these extracts against three species of the genus Leishmania. Therefore, in addition to the ethanolic extract of the leaves, the fraction rich in alkaloids derived from the ethanolic extract of the branches of Z. syncarpum (EEGZS - FA) was obtained, whose major compound, 4-(N-methylamino) benzoic acid, was isolated and identified by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). As a result, the ethanolic extract of Z. syncarpum leaves (EEFZS) showed the best performances in antioxidant activity, possibly related to the presence of polyphenolic compounds. The leishmanicidal activity for the same extract showed LC50 with values ​​of 14.99 ± 3.35; 13.88 ± 2.62 and 15.25 ± 3.44 µg/mL against L. infantum chagasi, L. amazonenses and L. brasiliensis respectively. Thus, from the results obtained, it is concluded that extracts of leaves of Z. syncarpum Tull. are presented effectively as an alternative for the development of new drugs with leishmanicidal effect.
