Anti-leishmanial activity of Spergulin-A. (A) Structure of the triterpenoid saponins Spergulin-A. (B) Dose-dependent effects of Spergulin-A against acellular stages, namely the promastigotes and axenic amastigote of Leishmania donovani after 24, 48 and 72 hrs interval. (C) Dose-dependent effect of Spergulin-A against the intracellular amastigote of L. donovani after 24 hrs of treatment and expressed as number of parasites/20 MФs. (D) 24 hrs time lapse evaluation of anti amastigote effect of Spergulin-A at 30 μg/mL for 72 hrs. (E) Miltefosine LC50 and LC90 values against promastigote, axenic amastigote and intracellular amastigote forms of L. donovani at 24, 48 and 72 hrs time lapse. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM from triplicate assays from three independent experiments (P-values ≤0.05 (*) or ≤0.01 (**) vs control). #Statistical significance of treated macrophages with different time lapses with respect to 0 hrs. ¥Statistical significance of the differences between the infected macrophages and treated macrophages at the same time.
