Exploring the Anti-Chagas Activity of Zanthoxylum chiloperone’s Seedlings Through Metabolomics and Protein–Ligand Docking
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This publication reports the controlled cultivation of Zanthoxylum chiloperone var. angustifolium Engl. (Rutaceae) in several growth substrates under controlled greenhouse conditions. This plant is well-known for its anti-Chagas (trypanocidal) activity, related to the presence of several β-carboline alkaloids. The metabolomic study of Z. chiloperone seedlings over two years of growth (2018–2020) was performed using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS). The canthin-6-one alkaloids, canthin-6-one and 5-methoxy-canthin-6-one, were putatively identified in Z. chiloperone extracts. Finally, in vitro and in silico studies of trypanocidal activity were performed, suggesting that canthin-6-one alkaloids could interact with the main pharmacological targets against Trypanosoma cruzi, cruzain protease, dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, farnesyl diphosphate, and squalene synthases.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
