Abstract

In this study was reported the structural elucidation by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (1D and 2D), FT-IR and mass spectrometry of lupeol (1), a mixture of the steroids campesterol (2), b-sitosterol (3) and stigmasterol (4), sesamin (5), trans-dimethylmatairesinol (6), trans-methylpluviatolide (7), quercetin (8), and d-mannitol (9) isolated from wood of Zanthoxylum rigidum. The lignans 5, 6 and 7 were tested for their ability to inhibit the proliferation of the promastigote forms of Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania chagasi. Only sesamin (5) and trans-methylpluviatolide (7) showed moderate inhibitory activity with IC50 = 22.4 and 33.6, SI = 3.87 and 2.41 and CC50 = 86.9 and 81.2, for L. braziliensis and L. chagasi, respectively, compared to the positive control (amphotericin B).
