Mechanism of amphotericin B resistance in Leishmania donovani promastigotes.
Amphotericin B (AmB)-resistant Leishmania donovani promastigotes were selected by increasing drug pressure, and their biological features were compared with those of the wild-type parent strain. The 50% inhibitory concentration for resistant cells was 20 times higher than that for the wild-type. Resistance was stable after more than 40 passages in drug-free medium, and resistant promastigotes w...
متن کاملMechanism of amphotericin B resistance in clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani.
The clinical value of amphotericin B, the mainstay therapy for visceral leishmaniasis in sodium antimony gluconate-nonresponsive zones of Bihar, India, is now threatened by the emergence of acquired drug resistance, and a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms is the need of the hour. We have selected an amphotericin B-resistant clinical isolate which demonstrated 8-fold-highe...
متن کاملSurface antigens of Leishmania donovani promastigotes
Surface antigen profiles of Leishmania donovani promastigote isolates have been studied. Surface patterns of Brazilian and African isolates display remarkable similarities and are extremely simple, consisting of three major peptides of 65,000, 25,000, and 23,000 mol wt. Surface iodination and biosynthetic labeling coupled to immunoprecipitation techniques revealed that a single major determinan...

متن کاملIn vitro reversion of amphotericin B resistance in Leishmania donovani by poloxamer 188.
A micellar formulation of amphotericin B (AmB) solubilized with poloxamer 188 was evaluated against an AmB Leishmania donovani-resistant line. A concave isobologram showed a synergistic effect of this association against promastigotes. This result was confirmed with amastigotes since the 50% effective concentration of the new formulation was 100 times less than that of the control AmB formulation.
