    Both ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions of Tabebuia aurea leaves exhibited noteworthy antioxidant and nephroprotective activities against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, as evidenced by the remarkable improvements of renal serum biomarkers and histopathological features. Additionally, the ethyl acetate fraction displayed a prominent in vitro antitrypanosomal activity against Trypanosoma brucei; consequently, the leaves were subjected to LC-HR-ESI-MS metabolomic profiling to discover the constituents that possibly underlie their bioactivities. Therefore, ten metabolites were characterized, mostly dominated by flavonoids. Interestingly, two identified constituents viz., 3,9,12,15-octadecatetraenoic acid (9) and 9,11,13-octadecatrienoic acid (10) are reported firstly herein from the genus Tabebuia. Furthermore, among the dereplicated constituents, rutin (5) and kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (6) exhibited the highest docking scores as effective antitrypanosomal compounds. � 2019, � 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
