Unveiling the Leishmanicidal Mechanism of 4‐Nerolidylcatechol Isolated From Piper peltatum Against Leishmania infantum

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The present study assessed the leishmanicidal activity of 4‐nerolidylcatechol (4‐NC) (1) isolated from Piper peltatum leaves against promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis, L. braziliensis, and L. infantum. The plant was fractionated, leading to the isolation and chemical identification of 4‐NC (1). Biochemical techniques were

Type I interferons induced by endogenous or exogenous viral infections promote metastasis and relapse of leishmaniasis. [PDF]

, 2017
The presence of the endogenous <i>Leishmania</i> RNA virus 1 (LRV1) replicating stably within some parasite species has been associated with the development of more severe forms of leishmaniasis and relapses after drug treatment in humans ...

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Travelers With Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Cured Without Systemic Therapy [PDF]

, 2017
Guidelines recommend wound care and/or local therapy as first-line treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis. An analysis of a referral treatment program in 135 travelers showed that this approach was feasible in 62% of patients, with positive outcome in 83%

Different Patterns of Lichen Planus in Three Members of One Family

Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The pathogenesis of Lichen Planus (LP) and its variants, despite many investigative efforts, remains incompletely understood. The occurrence of the disease in siblings suggests a potential role for both genetic and shared environmental factors. Here, three Iranian siblings—one male and two females—who presented with various clinical forms of LP were ...
