Isolation process of physalins from plants with antiparasitic activity
Project 132
Problem to be solved:
- High toxicity of medicine against Chagas disease and Leishmaniasis
- Resistance of protozoa strains to currently available medicines
Proposed Innovation:
- Isolation of physalin pool of Solanaceae extracts
- Phytochemical for the treatment of protozoan diseases
Differential:
- Phytochemical with low toxicity
- Process with high yield and low operating cost
- Processfree oftoxic substances
- National raw material
