Resumen:
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causal etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Many natural compounds, extracted from plants native of Argentina, have been shown to be effective against the parasite. Among them, flavonoids are an important family of molecules that have been widely studied. In this work we analyze the effect of the natural flavonoid Salvigenin (SVG) isolated from Baccharis scandens on the growth of T. cruzi epimastigotes (strain Dm28c).
