    The increased incidence of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is due to a lack of effective disease control measures. In addition to that, no effective treatment exists for canine VL in response to synthetic drugs. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the essential oils of Coriandrum sativum and Lippia sidoides, and oleoresin from Copaifera reticulata, on Leishmania chagasi promastigotes and amastigotes. We also examined the toxicity of these treatments on the murine monocyte cell line RAW 264.7. To determine the IC50 a MTT test (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) was performed on promastigotes, and an in situ ELISA assay was conducted on amastigotes. Here, we demonstrate that oleoresin from C. reticulata was effective against both promastigotes (IC50 of 7.88 ”g.mL-1) and amastigotes (IC50 of 0.52 ”g.mL-1), and neither of the two treatments differed significantly (p > 0.05) from pentamidine (IC50 of 2.149 ”g.mL-1) and amphotericin B (IC50 of 9.754 ”g.mL-1). Of the three plant oils tested, only oleoresin showed no toxicity toward monocyte, with 78.45% viability after treatment. Inhibition of promastigote and amastigote growth and the lack of cytotoxicity by C. reticulata demonstrate that oleoresin may be a viable option for analyzing the in vivo therapeutic effects of leishmanicidal plants<br>O aumento na incidĂȘncia da LeishmanĂ­ase Visceral (LV) no Brasil deve-se Ă  ineficĂĄcia das medidas de controle da doença. AlĂ©m disso, nĂŁo hĂĄ tratamento efetivo para LV canina com drogas sintĂ©ticas. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito dos Ăłleos essenciais de Coriandrum sativum e de Lippia sidoides e do Ăłleo-resina de Copaiferareticulata sobre promastigotas e amastigotas de Leishmania chagasi e analisar o grau de toxicidade sobre cĂ©lulas monocĂ­ticas murinas RAW 264.7. Para determinar a CI50 sobre promastigotas foi usado teste MTT (brometo de 3-[4,5-dimetil-tiazol-2-il]-2,5-difeniltetrazĂłlio) e sobre amastigotas foi realizado imunoensaio in situ pela tĂ©cnica de ELISA. Os resultados obtidos comprovaram que o Ăłleo-resina de C. reticulata foi o mais eficaz contra as formas promastigotas (CI50 de 7,88 ”g.mL-1) e amastigotas (CI50 de 0,52 ”g.mL-1) e em nenhum dos dois testes diferiu do controle pentamidina que obteve CI50 de 2,149 ”g.mL-1, no teste sobre promastigotas, e anfotericina B que obteve CI50 de 9,754 ”g.mL-1, nos testes com amastigotas (p > 0.05). Quanto Ă  citotoxicidade apenas o Ăłleo-resina nĂŁo apresentou toxicidade com 78,45% de monĂłcitos viĂĄveis. Os resultados obtidos sobre promastigotas e amastigotas e a ausĂȘncia de citotoxicidade do Ăłleo-resina de C. reticulata evidenciam que este Ăłleo-resina pode ser viĂĄvel para a anĂĄlise de seus efeitos terapĂȘuticos em testes in vivo
