Leishmania parasites cause a worldwide public health disease and its treatment is still based on pentavalent antimonials which present financial and toxicologic limitations. Some nucleosidic derivatives have demonstrated anti-leishmanial properties and this study aims to evaluate the in vitro morphologic alterations and growth inhibition of Leishmania (

The antiproliferative effect of julocrotine, an alkaloid isolated from Croton pullei var. glabrior (Euphorbiaceae), was studied in the macrophage amastigote and promastigote stages of the protozoan Leishmania (L.) amazonensis, which causes cutaneous leishmaniasis in the New World.

N-acetyl-l-cysteine reduces the parasitism of BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania amazonensis
Parasitology Research, 2007Leishmania amazonensis infection leads to progressive diseases in a majority of inbred strains of mice. Glutathione (GSH) participates in a large number of cellular phenomena and seems to be essential for several immune functions, including host defense during leishmaniasis. In this study, we evaluated the effects of N-acetyl-L: -cysteine (NAC), as GSH

Lantana camara L. induces a multi-targeted cell death process in Leishmania amazonensis
Journal of EthnopharmacologyLantana camara L. is a species known for its broad spectrum of bioactivities and is commonly used in folk therapy to address inflammatory, dermatological, gastrointestinal, intestinal worms and protozoan diseases. It boasts a diverse array of secondary metabolites such as terpenes, flavonoids, and saponins.

L-leucine-methyl ester (Leu-OMe) kills Leishmania mexicana amazonensis amastigotes by a mechanism which requires proteolytic cleavage of the ester. N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-phenylalanyl-alanyl diazomethane (Z-Phe-AlaCHN2), a specific and irreversible inhibitor of cysteine proteinases, was used to characterize the enzymes involved in parasite destruction. It

1 Background Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease caused by many Leishmania species, belonging to subgenera Leishmania (Leishmania) and Leishmania (Viannia). Several qPCR-based molecular diagnostic approaches have been reported for detection and quantification of Leishmania species. Many of these approaches use the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) minicircles as
