Abstract
This review covers compounds with activity on African trypanosomes (mainly Trypanosoma brucei subsp.,T congolense and T vivax) isolated from natural sources and is organized according to the structure of the etabolites (alkaloids, phenolic derivatives, quinones, terpenes and other metabolites). The literature from he mid-1980s up to June 2003 is reviewed and 89 references are cited.
