In vitro activity of cinnamaldehyde on Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis
Experimental Parasitology, 2022Tegumentary leishmaniasis is an endemic disease that urgently needs new and effective treatments. L. amazonensis is one of the main species involved in the transmission of this infectious and non-contagious disease. The currently available treatments for leishmaniasis have high toxicity and vary in efficacy.

Leishmania amazonensis response to artemisinin and derivatives
Parasitology International, 2021The worldwide presence of Leishmania parasites increases in the poorest regions. Current leishmaniasis treatments are unsatisfactory due to resistance development, side effects and cost. Herein, we describe the in vitro activity of artemisinin (ART), artemether (ATM), artesunate (ATS) and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) against Leishmania amazonensis ...

Characterization of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigotes resistant to pentamidine
Experimental Parasitology, 2008Pentamidine is a second-line agent used in the treatment of leishmaniasis and its mode of action and mechanism of resistance is not well understood. It was previously demonstrated that transfection of promastigotes and amastigotes with the ABC transporter PRP1 gene confers resistance to pentamidine.

Biochemical characterization of serine transport in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2009In addition to its role as a protein component in Leishmania, serine is also a precursor for the synthesis of both phosphatidylserine, which is a membrane molecule involved in parasite invasion and inactivation of macrophages, and sphingolipids, which are necessary for Leishmania to differentiate into its infective forms.
