Activity of soft coral Lobophytum pauciflorum extract against Entamoeba histolytica in vitro and in vivo.
S. Ghoshal1, V. Lakshmi2 (1Division of Microbiology and 2Division of Chemistry, Central Drug Research Institute,
Lucknow-226001, India)
Methanol extracts of the marine coral Lobophytum pauciflorum showed in vitro amoebicidal activity against
trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica and effected 85% cures of caecal amoebiasis in rats. The activity was localized in
the n-butanol fraction, from which three pure compounds were isolated. (Biologiya Morya, Vladivostok, 2004, vol. 30,
no. 6, pp. 483–485).
Key words: amoebicidal activity, Entamoeba histolytica, caecal amoebiasis, Lobophytum pauciflorum.
