  • The dichloromethane extract from Grindelia robusta was most effective, displaying strong activity against Leishmania amazonensis at 2.2 µg/mL.
  • Extracts from Anchietea salutaris and Banisteriopsis argyrophylla showed potent effects against Plasmodium falciparum with IC50 values below 9.2 µg/mL.
  • Highlighting these plants' potential encourages further exploration of bioactive compounds for neglected tropical diseases.
