Porcelia macrocarpa (Warm.) R. E. Fries (Annonaceae) is an endemic plant in Brazil where its tasty pulp has been eaten fresh. The hexane extract from its flowers was subjected to chromatographic procedures to afford four acetylene derivatives identified as octadec-9-ynoic (stearolic acid - 1), (11E)-octadec-11en- 9-ynoic (santalbic acid - 2), 8-hydroxyoctadec-9,11-diynoic (3) and 8-hydroxyoctadec-17-en-9,11-d iynoic (isanolic acid - 4) acids by NMR and HRESIMS. Among tested compounds against trypomastigote forms of T. cruzi, octadec-9-ynoic acid (1) displayed higher potential with IC50 = 27.6 mu M and a selectivity index (SI) higher than 7. Compounds 2 and 3 showed IC50 of approximately 60 mM while compound 4 was inactive. The lethal action of the compound 1 was investigated using spectrofluorometric techniques to detect ROS content, plasma membrane permeability and plasma membrane potential by flow cytometry. Compound 1 showed no alteration in the production of ROS of treated trypomastigotes and no alteration of the plasma membrane permeability was observed as detected by the fluorescent probe SYTOX-green after 120 min of incubation. However, by using the potential-sensitive fluorescent probe DiSBAC(2)(3), compound 1 caused depolarization of the plasma membrane potential when compared to untreated parasites. Our results demonstrated the anti-T. cruzi effects of compounds 1-3 isolated from flowers of P. macrocarpa and indicated that the lethal effect of compound 1 in T. cruzi could be associated to the plasma membrane disturbance of the parasite.
