In Vivo - Anthelmintic acetogenin from Annona squamosa L. Seeds - Universidade Estadual do Cear�, Fortaleza, CE, Brazil, BR - 2008: Annona squamosa seeds extracts showed anthelmintic activity against Haemonchus contortus, the main nematode of sheep and goat in Northeastern Brazil. A compound 1 was isolated from ethyl acetate extract and inhibited the egg hatching of H. contortus at 25 mg ml(-1). The structure of 1 was determined as a C37 trihydroxy adjacent bistetrahydrof uran acetogenin based on spectroscopic analysis.

In Vitro - Actogenins, anthelmintic, antimalarial, antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, and cytotoxic antitumor - University of Tartu, Estonia: The tropical plant family Annonaceae consists of 130 genera and 2300 different species.[1] However, despite of its relatively large size, the plant family is chemically one of the least explored. The discovery of uvaricin (Fig. 1) in 1982, the first of the acetogenins, as an in vivo active antileukemic (P-388) agent, invigorated wide interest in this family.[2]
