In Vitro Mechanism of Action of Acanthospermum hispidum in Trypanosoma brucei

Figure 3

Effects of A. hispidum on cell cycle progression of T. b. brucei. (a) Progression of cell cycle between untreated parasites and A. hispidum-treated cells. (b) Bar graph of the percentage cell population of parasites for each fraction at distinct cell cycle phases. Cell counts were carried out in triplicates. AH-HEX = hexane fraction, AH-DCM = dichloromethane fraction, AH-EA = ethyl acetate fraction, AH-AQ = aqueous fraction, DA = diminazene aceturate, NC = negative control, and PI = propidium iodide.
