Comparative physiology of two protozoan parasites, Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma brucei, grown in chemostats

Protozoan Parasite Leishmania donovani

The activities of four anticancer alkyllysophospholipids against Leishmania donovani, Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei.

The in-vitro activities of four anticancer alkyllysophospholipids, ET-18-OCH3 (edelfosine), hexadecylphosphocholine (miltefosine), ilmofosine and SRI 62-834, were determined with ED50 values for Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes between 0.2 and 5.0 microM and for Trypanosoma brucei trypomastigotes between 7.0 and 50.8 microM. In BALB/c mice miltefosine and ilmofosine were th...

Potent and selective antiplasmodial activity of the cyanobacterial alkaloid nostocarboline and its dimers.

The quaternary beta-carbolinium alkaloid nostocarboline from the cyanobacterium Nostoc 78-12A and 10 bis-cationic dimeric derivatives were evaluated against four protozoan parasites and low micromolar values against Trypanosoma brucei, submicromolar values against Leishmania donovani and low nanomolar values against Plasmodium falciparum K1 were determined. Selectivity against rat myoblasts (L6...

transference of imagery: a comparative formalistic study of shakespeares hamlet and its two persian translations

هدف از این تحقیق بررسی انتقال صور خیال هملت در دو ترجمه ی فارسی آن از نظر فرمالیستی بود. برای بدست آوردن داده-های مورد نیاز، 130 نمونه استعاره، مجاز، ایهام، کنایه و پارادوکس در متن اصلی مشخص شده و سپس بر اساس مدل نیومارک (1998) برای ترجمه ی استعاره یا بطور کلی زبان مجاز با معادل های فارسی شان مقایسه گردیدند. این تحقیق بر آن بود تا روش های استفاده شده برای ترجمه هر کدام از انواع زبان مجاز ذکر شد...

Fitness of Leishmania donovani Parasites Resistant to Drug Combinations

Drug resistance represents one of the main problems for the use of chemotherapy to treat leishmaniasis. Additionally, it could provide some advantages to Leishmania parasites, such as a higher capacity to survive in stress conditions. In this work, in mixed populations of Leishmania donovani parasites, we have analyzed whether experimentally resistant lines to one or two combined anti-leishmani...
