Treating cutaneous leishmaniasis patients in Kabul, Afghanistan: cost-effectiveness of an operational program in a complex emergency setting. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Although Kabul city, Afghanistan, is currently the worldwide largest focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) with an estimated 67,500 cases, donor interest in CL has been comparatively poor because the disease is non-fatal. Since 1998 HealthNet

Diet and leishmaniasis in the Ecuadorian Amazon

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In Ecuador's Amazon, Indigenous communities affected by leishmaniasis often modify their diets as part of their health‐seeking practices. Drawing on qualitative research with sixty‐eight participants from seven Indigenous groups, this study explores how and why patients’ diets shift in pursuit of healing from leishmaniasis.

Dicentrine, an Aporphine Alkaloid From Ocotea langsdorffii, Induces Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress in Leishmania (L.) infantum

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dicentrine, an aporphine alkaloid, exhibits potent in vitro antileishmanial activity against Leishmania species with high selectivity and low macrophage cytotoxicity. Mechanistic studies reveal that the compound triggers parasite death possibly by inducing mitochondrial membrane disruption and oxidative stress.

Exploring Biological Properties of Manganese(II)‐Phenanthroline‐Based Complexes: In Vitro Insights

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 29, 3 August 2026.
Four Mn(II) complexes with phenanthroline derivatives were studied. These compounds were tested against several parasites and different human cancer cells. Despite its cytotoxicity on breast cancer, DNA seems not to be the main biological target. These complexes can drive the design and development of new metal‐based agents with improved biological ...

Epidermal Compromise in American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1992
In American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL), Leishmania parasites enter the epidermis of the host via the bite of infected sandflies. Immune responses against the parasite vary from "effective" in localized (LCL) to a state of "selective anergy" in diffuse (DCL) cutaneous leishmaniasis, whereas the intermediate muco-cutaneous form (MCL) is characterized ...

Identification of a Benzenesulfonylpiperazine Derivative With In Vivo Efficacy Against Visceral Leishmaniasis

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 2, August 2026.
This work highlights the satisfactory pharmacokinetic profile of two benzenesulfonylpiperazine lead candidates, followed by in vivo assessment in a murine model of visceral leishmaniasis. This assessment identified compound 2 as moderately active at a lower dose, but its efficacy increased at higher doses, though with concerns regarding safety.
