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

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 1087-1097, April 2026.
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 ...

A neglected disease of humans: a new focus of visceral leishmaniasis in Bakool, Somalia. [PDF]

, 2008
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was observed in children in Bakool region, Somalia, an area where VL has not been reported before. We describe the extent of the problem in this war- and famine-stricken area.

The proinflammatory activity of recombinant serum amyloid A is not shared by the endogenous protein in the circulation.

, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Elevated serum levels of the acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) are a marker for active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and SAA can also be found in the tissues of patients with active RA.

Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania and it is a significant global health problem. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum, from tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) that encompasses cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML) and cutaneous‐diffuse (CDL) forms, to the potentially fatal systemic ...

De-novo design of complementary (antisense) peptide mini-receptor inhibitor of interleukin 18 (IL-18).

, 2004
Complementary (antisense) peptide mini-receptor inhibitors are complementary peptides designed to be receptor-surrogates that act by binding to selected surface features of biologically important proteins thereby inhibiting protein-cognate receptor ...

Visceral Leishmaniasis in Somalia: Diagnosis and Management of a Classic Case in a Resource‐Limited Endemic Setting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), a severe systemic neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by Leishmania donovani complex protozoa, poses a significant public health threat, particularly in East Africa, where it is fatal if untreated. Somalia is known to be endemic, but the true burden and programmatic challenges are poorly documented due to long ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of the First Generation of Glycosylated Nucleoside Analogues as Potential Inhibitors of the Base J Metabolism in Kinetoplastid Parasites

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 10, 9 March 2026.
Novel analogues of the kinetoplastid‐specific DNA base J unlock a new way to target parasite epigenetic regulation. Some compounds selectively inhibit Leishmania and Trypanosoma species without harming human cells, revealing a promising route toward innovative antiparasitic therapies.

First Evidence of Leishmania infantum Antibodies in Sheep (Ovis aries) from Southern Germany

Animals
In Europe, Leishmania infantum is the most prevalent Leishmania species, and this protozoan is transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. A recent publication has shown that sheep harbor L. infantum antibodies. This raises questions about the epidemiological
