Paromomycin: Uptake and resistance in Leishmania donovani [PDF]
Paromomycin is currently in phase IV clinical trials against leishmaniasis. In the present work we elucidate the effect and mechanism of uptake of paromomycin in Leishmania donovani. The in vitro sensitivities of both promastigotes and amastigotes were determined to this aminoglycoside. Association of paromomycin with L.

Glyoxalase I gene deletion mutants of Leishmania donovani exhibit reduced methylglyoxal detoxification. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Glyoxalase I is a metalloenzyme of the glyoxalase pathway that plays a central role in eliminating the toxic metabolite methyglyoxal. The protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani possesses a unique trypanothione dependent glyoxalase system ...

ABSTRACT Human babesiosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by a bloodborne single‐celled parasite belonging to the genus Babesia. Cases of human babesiosis are commonly reported in the United States, Western Europe and Asia. In the United States, the two major causative agents are Babesia microti and Babesia duncani.

Carbon Dioxide Assimilation by Leishmania donovani [PDF]
WHILE studying the glucose metabolism of Leishmania donovani, the protozoan organism causing visceral leishmaniasis, it has been found that cell suspensions of this organism in a saline-bicarbonate buffer containing glucose can assimilate, a measurable amount of carbon dioxide along with the formation of different acidic end products1.

Recent Insights in Multi‐Target Drugs in Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry
This review highlights the rationale behind multitarget drug design as a promising approach to address diseases with complex etiologies. By combining pharmacophore features from different single‐target drugs, multitarget compounds can interact with multiple biological targets simultaneously.

The role of PD-1 in regulation of macrophage apoptosis and its subversion by Leishmania donovani
Programmed death‐1 receptor (PD‐1) expressed in many immune cells is known to trigger T‐cell exhaustion but the significance of macrophage‐associated PD‐1 in relevance to macrophage apoptosis is not known.
