The aim of this study was to investigate the antiprotozoal and antiviral activities of four Argentinean  Mikania  species. The organic and aqueous extracts of  Mikania micrantha, M. parodii, M. periplocifolia,  and  M. cordifolia  were tested on  Trypanosoma cruzi  epimastigotes,  Leishmania braziliensis  promastigotes, and dengue virus type 2. The organic extract of  M. micrantha  was the most active against  T. cruzi  and  L. braziliensis  exhibiting a growth inhibition of 77.6 ± 4.5% and 84.9 ± 6.1%, respectively, at a concentration of 10   μ  g/ml. The bioguided fractionation of  M. micrantha  organic extract led to the identification of two active fractions. The chromatographic profile and infrared analysis of these fractions revealed the presence of sesquiterpene lactones. None of the tested extracts were active against dengue virus type 2.
