Antiparasitic activity of plumericin & isoplumericin isolated from Plumeria bicolor against Leishmania donovani
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The severe toxicity, exorbitant cost and emerging resistance of Leishmania species against most of the currently used drugs underscores the urgent need for the alternative drugs. The present study evaluates in vitro anti-leishmanial activity of Plumeria bicolor and its isolated compounds. METHODS The in vitro anti-parasitic activity of chloroform extract of Plumeria bi...
متن کاملLeishmanicidal activity of two naphthoquinones against Leishmania donovani.
Here we studied ability of two naphthoquinones to inhibit Leishmania growth (2,3-dichloro-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (TR 001) and 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone (TR 002). TR 001 was more efficient than TR 002 in inducing killing of promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes. These values compare well to those obtained with the standard first-line antileishmanial agent sodium stiboglucona...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania donovani and Leishmania infantum/chagasi represents the second most challenging infectious disease worldwide, leading to nearly 500,000 new cases and 60,000 deaths annually. Zoonotic VL caused by L. infantum is a re-emergent canid zoonoses which represents a complex epidemiological cycle in the New world where domestic dogs serve as a reservoir h...
متن کاملNovel Agents against Miltefosine-Unresponsive Leishmania donovani.
Visceral leishmaniasis is a deadly endemic disease. Unresponsiveness to the only available oral drug miltefosine poses a big challenge for the chemotherapy of the disease. We report a novel molecule, PS-203 {4-(4,4,8-trimethyl-7-oxo-3-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester}, as effective against a miltefosine-unresponsive strain of the parasite. Further, combinations of PS-203 wit...
متن کاملAspartate Transcarbamylase from Leishmania donovani
Leishmania donovani is a protozoal pathogen that belongs to the kinetoplastida order. Unlike in other eucaryotic systems, the first three enzymes of the de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway are not components of a multifunctional protein system. The three enzyme activities in the crude extract were separated on a Sephacryl S-200 column. Aspartate carbamoyltransferase (EC 2.1.3.2) has been pu...
