Refined structure of the lipophosphoglycan of Leishmania donovani. [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
The primary structure of the major surface glycoconjugate of Leishmania donovani parasites, a lipophosphoglycan, has been further characterized. The repeating PO4-6Galp beta 1-4Man disaccharide units, which are a salient feature of the molecule, are shown to terminate with one of several neutral structures, the most abundant of which is the branched ...

Development of an Enzymatic Recombinase Amplification Assay for the Rapid Detection of Plasmodium Nucleic Acids

iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 182-190, June 2025.
The detection rate of enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA) was better than that of the rapid diagnostic test. The ERA assay was more convenient than fluorescence quantitative PCR. The ERA assay can be used as a complementary tool for malaria screening and clinical diagnosis.

Integration of Machine Learning‐QSAR and Polypharmacology in Drug Discovery for Leishmaniasis Using Natural and Repurposed Compounds

ChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 21, June 4, 2025.
Leishmaniasis affects over 1 billion people worldwide, with current treatments limited by toxicity and efficacy. This study used machine learning (ML), QSAR, and polypharmacology to identify potential drug candidates, analyzing 12,072 compounds with random forest and XGBoost models.

First Molecular Characterization of Leishmania Species Causing Visceral Leishmaniasis among Children in Yemen.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a debilitating, often fatal disease caused by Leishmania donovani complex; however, it is a neglected tropical disease. L. donovani complex comprises two closely related species, L. donovani that is mostly anthroponotic and

Alkyl Tail Variation on Chalcone‐Based Quaternary Pyridinium Salts as Rule‐of‐Thumb for Antimicrobial Activity

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 358, Issue 5, May 2025.
A small library of quaternary pyridinium salts was developed as membrane‐interacting antimicrobials. In particular, analogs 4–6 effectively inhibited Staphylococcus aureus growth, while 4 and 5 were active against Escherichia coli. Molecular dynamics studies supported the capability of derivative 5 to efficiently interact with the Gram‐positive ...
