Abstract

In this study, the trypomastigotes of a Y strain of Trypanosoma cruzi were inoculated intraperitoneally into male BALB/c mice weighing approximately 25 g each, which were divided into groups for evaluation of the trypanocidal activity. For the treatment of experimental groups, encapsulated and unencapsulated (-)-cubebin, Benznidazole, and two groups as negative controls were used. The encapsulated (-)-cubebin showed a 68.1 % encapsulation efficiency. The parasitemia peak of substances remained around the 9(th) day after the observed reduction in the number of circulating trypomastigotes. The encapsulated (-)-cubebin and (-)-cubebin unloaded showed a decrease of 61.3 % and 58.5 % in the number of parasites as compared to the negative control, respectively. Moreover, animals treated with encapsulated (-)-cubebin had a higher survival time as compared to the other groups. In conclusion, the results obtained were more promising for encapsulated (-)-cubebin as compared to unloaded particles. (AU)
