Pilocarpine is an alkaloid isolated from the leaves of Pilocarpus microphyllus (Rutaceae), a native plant from Brazil, known as jaborandi, which presents muscarinic agonist activity, and it is used as a miotic agent in the treatment of glaucoma. The alkaloid imidazole Epiisopiloturina (EPI) comprises 70% of purifying residue, with activity against Schistosma mansoni, and other compounds o…
Epiisopiloturine is an imidazole alkaloid extracted from Pilocarpus microphyllus Stapf ex Wardleworth, a Brazilian native plant, whose in vivo activity against Schistosoma mansoni led to parasite burden, to reduction in hepatosplenomegaly, the egg burden in faeces, and fell granuloma diameter. Epiisopilosine, another secondary metabolite from jaborandi, was tested in vitro (just accepted …
