Hit‐to‐lead optimization of morpholinephenylbenzamides reveals key structure–activity relationships against Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infantum. Potency, selectivity, and ADME properties are differentially improved across the series, identifying compounds 20, 24, and 16 as complementary templates for the future design of dual antiparasitic leads.

Targeting Ergosterol biosynthesis in Leishmania donovani: essentiality of sterol 14 alpha-demethylase. [PDF]
Leishmania protozoan parasites (Trypanosomatidae family) are the causative agents of cutaneous, mucocutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis worldwide. While these diseases are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, there are few adequate ...

Proteomic analysis of the secretome of Leishmania donovani [PDF]
Abstract Background Leishmania and other intracellular pathogens have evolved strategies that support invasion and persistence within host target cells. In some cases the underlying mechanisms involve the export of virulence factors into the host cell cytosol.

Axenic cultivation and characterization of Leishmania mexicana amastigote-like forms [PDF]
A new method is described which has made possible the long-term axenic cultivation of Leishmania mexicana amastigote-like forms in Schneider's Drosophila medium supplemented with 20% (v/v) foetal calf serum.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a fatal parasitic disease if untreated. Treatment options of VL diminish due to emerging drug resistance. Although the principal host cells for the multiplication of Leishmania are macrophages, neutrophils are the first ...

Conserved Asp233–Asp246 hydrogen bond modulates active site dynamics in class A β‐lactamases
Abstract Rigid enzymes catalyze chemical reactions by stabilizing the transition state through a specific conformation. Catalytic residues are precisely positioned, and enzyme dynamics are kept to a minimum. It is thought that conserved residues around the active site (second‐shell residues) play a crucial role in positioning catalytic residues. Asp233

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 ...
