Molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in natural Leishmania populations vary with genetic background [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The evolution of drug-resistance in pathogens is a major global health threat. Elucidating the molecular basis of pathogen drug-resistance has been the focus of many studies but rarely is it known whether a drug-resistance mechanism identified is ...

Evolution of apoptosis-like programmed cell death in unicellular protozoan parasites

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2011
Apoptosis-like programmed cell death (PCD) has recently been described in multiple taxa of unicellular protists, including the protozoan parasites Plasmodium, Trypanosoma and Leishmania.

Shape, form, function and Leishmania pathogenicity: from textbook descriptions to biological understanding [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2017
The shape and form of protozoan parasites are inextricably linked to their pathogenicity. The evolutionary pressure associated with establishing and maintaining an infection and transmission to vector or host has shaped parasite morphology.

The proteasome as a target for protozoan parasites

open access: yesExpert opinion on therapeutic targets, 2019
Introduction: The proteasome is a multi-subunit enzyme complex responsible for the turnover of short-lived, abnormal or damaged proteins in eukaryotic cells. As organisms that undergo rapid growth and cell division, protozoan parasites exist on the knife-

The cytoskeleton of protozoan parasites

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Cell Biology, 1996
There are seven processes that require a cytoskeleton in protozoan parasites: nuclear division, cytokinesis, cell shape determination, motility, invasion, flagellar movement of sperm, and intracellular transport.

Targeting the Membrane‐Embedded Rhomboid Protease GlpG: A Multimodal Strategy for Inhibitor Discovery and Mechanistic Insight

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Created in BioRender. Bohg, C. (2026) https://BioRender.Com/ vi9hi4f. Rhomboid proteases are a mechanistically unique and evolutionarily conserved protein family. Despite their pharmacological relevance, the development of selective inhibitors has lagged behind that of soluble proteases.

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of DNDI‐6148, a novel agent for leishmaniasis: A randomized, controlled, single ascending dose study in healthy participants

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The benzoxaborole derivative DNDI‐6148 is an antiparasitic agent with activity against multiple Leishmania protozoan species, including L. infantum and L. donovani, which cause visceral leishmaniasis. We investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of DNDI‐6148 in a randomized, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled ...
