Overview

This review assesses anti-T. cruzi compounds in medicinal plants, suggesting new trypanocidal drugs to combat Chagas disease.

Key Points

  • Secondary metabolites from Mexican plants show potential as new trypanocidal drugs against Chagas disease.
  • Current treatments like nifurtimox and benznidazole have low efficacy and can cause toxicity, highlighting the need for better options.
  • The review focuses on literature from 2012 to 2024, identifying compounds with activity against stages of Trypanosoma cruzi.
  • In vivo trials and pharmacokinetic studies are essential for advancing these natural products into effective therapies.
