Molecular docking of daunorubicin and etoposide drugs against Leishmania donovani: A theoretical study

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases
Background & objectives: The human blood parasite Leishmania donovani causes visceral leishmaniasis or grayish discoloration of the skin (black fever/kala-azar). Antitumor drugs such as daunorubicin and etoposide can help to treat such diseases.

Leishmania mortality in sand fly blood meal is not species-specific and does not result from direct effect of proteinases

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Leishmania development in sand flies is confined to the alimentary tract and is closely connected with blood meal digestion. Previously, it has been published that activities of sand fly midgut proteases are harmful to Leishmania, especially ...

Cathepsin B gene disruption induced Leishmania donovani proteome remodeling implies cathepsin B role in secretome regulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Leishmania cysteine proteases are potential vaccine candidates and drug targets. To study the role of cathepsin B cysteine protease, we have generated and characterized cathepsin B null mutant L. donovani parasites. L.

New compound sets identified from high throughput phenotypic screening against three kinetoplastid parasites:an open resource [PDF]

, 2015
Using whole-cell phenotypic assays, the GlaxoSmithKline high-throughput screening (HTS) diversity set of 1.8 million compounds was screened against the three kinetoplastids most relevant to human disease, i.e.

Autochthonous Leishmaniasis Caused by Leishmania tropica, Identified by Using Whole-Genome Sequencing, Sri Lanka

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is atypical in Sri Lanka because Leishmania donovani, which typically causes visceral disease, is the causative agent. The origins of recently described hybrids between L. donovani and other Leishmania spp.

Antileishmanial Activities of Carvacrol Nanoencapsulate in Biopolymeric Nanoparticles

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
The study obtained biopolymeric nanoparticles containing carvacrol (NPCar) and evaluated their anti‐leishmanial activity. NPCar obtained presented physicochemical characteristics due to its ideal nanometric size and zeta potential, and low polydispersity index.

Efficient and Rapid Arylation of NH₂‐Unprotected Bromobisindole Ethanamines via Suzuki‐Miyaura Coupling: Generating New Leads Against Leishmania

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A library of novel bisindole derivatives was synthesized through an optimized rapid Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling reaction, utilizing NH2‐unprotected bromobisindole ethanamines and boronic acids with yields up to 93%. The compounds were screened for their activity against L. infantum promastigotes.
