Eupomatenoid-5 Isolated from Leaves of Piper regnellii Induces Apoptosis in Leishmania amazonensis

Figure 2

Mitochondrial membrane potential assay in promastigote forms of L. amazonensis treated with eupomatenoid-5 at (b) 30.0  M, (c) 85.0  M, and (d) 170.0  M for 24 h and stained with Rh123, which accumulates in mitochondria. (a) Positive control (CCCP). The gray area corresponds to the control group (i.e., untreated parasites). Typical histograms of at least three independent experiments are shown.
