Antileishmanial Activity of Azitahromycin Against Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, and Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008
Azithromycin, an azalide antibiotic, is highly concentrated within different phagocytic cells, especially macrophages. The potential antileishmanial activity of azithromycin against three species of Leishmania from the New World was assessed using in vitro models.

Leishmania amazonensis: Characterization of an ecto-pyrophosphatase activity

Experimental Parasitology, 2014
Several ecto-enzymatic activities have been described in the plasma membrane of the protozoan Leishmania amazonensis, which is the major etiological agent of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis in South America. These enzymes, including ecto-phosphatases, contribute to the survival of the parasite by participating in phosphate metabolism.

Eosinophil chemotactic activity in Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes

Parasitology Research, 1996
Tissue eosinophilia was observed in the subcutaneous tissue of mice shortly after their inoculation not only with living but also with lysed promastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis. Intraperitoneal inoculation of lysed promastigotes from five different Leishmania species (L. donovani, L. chagasi, L. tropica, L. amazonensis, and L. braziliensis) induced

Effect of Brazilian copaiba oils on Leishmania amazonensis

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2008
Copaiba oil has been used in folk medicine since the 19th century. The use of copaiba oils to treat leishmaniasis is cited in several ethnopharmacological studies. Nevertheless, the potential antileishmania of copaiba oils had not been studied.Eight different kinds of Brazilian copaiba oils were screened for antileishmanial activity.The ...

Active Transport of Glutamate in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACT. Leishmania spp. are the causative agents of leishmaniasis, a complex of diseases with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis is a main etiological agent of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis. Leishmania spp., as other trypanosomatids, possess a metabolism based significantly on the consumption of amino
