Antiplasmodial activity of extracts of 25 cyanobacterial species from coastal regions of Tamil Nadu

Abstract: Context: Marine cyanobacteria offer considerable potential to isolate new antimalarials to meet a pressing need of our times. Objective: To explore the antiplasmodial properties of marine cyanobacteria. Materials and methods: Cyanobacterial samples collected from the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu were identified using light microscopy, and the strains were cultivated in ASN-III medium. Organic extracts (0-100 mg mL À1) of 25 in vitro mass-cultivated cyanobacteria, prepared using methanol: chloroform mixture (1… Show more

“…The cells were treated with GSO (100 and 200 μg/ml) or DMSO (0.4%) at 37°C for 48 hr and stained with Giemsa's dye reagent. Numbers of P. falciparum ‐ infected RBCs were evaluated on thin‐film blood smears under a light microscope with an oil‐immersion objective lens (100× magnification; Veerabadhran, Manivel, Mohanakrishnan, Sahal, & Muthuraman, ).…”
