Abstract
Trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis are among the major neglected diseases that affect poor people, mainly in developing countries. In Ethiopia, the latex of Aloe rugosifolia Gilbert & Sebsebe is traditionally used for the treatment of protozoal diseases, among others. In this study, the in vitro antitrypanosomal activity of the leaf latex of A. rugosifolia was evaluated against Trypanosoma congolense field isolate using in vitro motility and in vivo infectivity tests. The latex was also tested against the promastigotes of Leishmania aethiopica and L. donovani clinical isolates using alamar blue assay. Preparative thin-layer chromatography of the latex afforded a naphthalene derivative identified as plicataloside (2,8-O,O-di-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,2,8-trihydroxy-3-methyl-naphthalene) by means of spectroscopic techniques (HRESI-MS, 1H, 13C-NMR). Results of the study demonstrated that at 4.0 mg/mL concentration plicataloside arrested mobility of trypanosomes within 30 min of incubation period. Furthermore, plicataloside completely eliminated subsequent infectivity in mice for 30 days at concentrations of 4.0 and 2.0 mg/mL. Plicataloside also displayed antileishmanial activity against the promastigotes of L. aethopica and L. donovani with IC50 values 14.22 ± 0.41 µg/mL (27.66 ± 0.80 µM) and 18.86 ± 0.03 µg/mL (36.69 ± 0.06 µM), respectively. Thus, plicataloside may be used as a scaffold for the development of novel drugs effective against trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis.

Abstract
Aloe genus plants, distributed in Old World, are widely known and have been used for centuries as topical and oral therapeutic agents due to their health, beauty, medicinal, and skin care properties. Among the well-investigated Aloe species are A. arborescens, A. barbadensis, A. ferox, and A. vera. Today, they account among the most economically important medicinal plants and are commonly used in primary health treatment, where they play a pivotal role in the treatment of various types of diseases via the modulation of biochemical and molecular pathways, besides being a rich source of valuable phytochemicals. In the present review, we summarized the recent advances in botany, phytochemical composition, ethnobotanical uses, food preservation, and the preclinical and clinical efficacy of Aloe plants. These data will be helpful to provide future directions for the industrial and medicinal use of Aloe plants.
