Bioactive pigments were extracted and purified from cultures ofSerratia marcescensandChromobacterium violaceum. Spectroscopic, FTIR, and HPLC analyses showed prodigiosin and violacein as the principle molecules in the extract. Bioactive microbial pigments prodigiosin, violacein and their combinations with phytosynthesized silver and gold nanoparticles were studied for in vitro growth inhibition ofPlasmodium falciparumandTrypanosoma brucei gambiense. Prodigiosin was found to be more effective than violacein for inhibition of both parasites in vitro. Specifically, combinations of the microbial pigment prodigiosin with metal nanoparticles showed a significant decrease in the IC50values on both parasites (2.7 to 3.6 fold) without increase of cytotoxicity upon mammalian cells. The data may be useful for the microbial pigment based drug designing.
