Leishmaniases are neglected parasitic diseases in spite of the major burden they inflict on public health. The identification of novel drugs and targets constitutes a research priority. For that purpose we used Leishmania infantum initiation factor 4A (LieIF), an essential translation initiation factor that belongs to the DEAD-box proteins family, as a potential drug target. We modeled its stru...
In order to invade mammalian cells, Trypanosoma cruzi infective forms cause distinct rearrangements of membrane and host cell cytoskeletal components. Rho GTPases have been shown to regulate three separate signal transduction pathways, linking plasma membrane receptors to the assembly of distinct actin filament structures. Here, we examined the role of Rho GTPases on the interaction between dif...
Background and Aim: Curcumin possesses diverse pharmacologic effects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activities. The aim of this study was to develop liposomal formulation of curcumin and evaluate the leishmanial effects of its topical use against L. major in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Nanoliposomes containing 1, 2 or 3% curumin were prepared by ...
Several aliphatic and aromatic lactones and two dimers were synthesized using the sequence: allylation - esterification - metathesis. These compounds were active in vitro against intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania panamensis. The structure-activity relationship showed the importance of the aliphatic side chain to enhance the biological activity and to obtain lower cytotoxicity. It was also...
Leishmaniasis remains a major health problem of the tropical and subtropical world. The visceral form causes the most fatalities if left untreated. Dramatic increases in the rates of infection and drug resistance and the non-availability of safe vaccines have highlighted the need for identification of novel and inexpensive anti-leishmanial agents. This study reports that racemoside A, a water-s...
The antileishmanial activity of a series of bis-pyridinium derivatives that are analogues of pentamidine have been investigated, and all compounds assayed were found to display activity against promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania donovani and Leishmania major, with 50% effective concentrations (EC50s) lower than 1 μM in most cases. The majority of compounds showed similar ...
Background: In respect to leishmaniasis prevalence in different regions of Iran and world and also several side effects of pentavalent antimony for treatment of the disease, using of medicinal plants have been recently taken into attention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of garlic plant extract on L. major amastigotes in vivo and in vitro by means of colorimetric assay. Materi...
A new method is described which has made possible the long-term axenic cultivation of Leishmania mexicana amastigote-like forms in Schneider's Drosophila medium supplemented with 20% (v/v) foetal calf serum. Unlike previous methods, it utilizes direct culture of parasites obtained from the lesions of infected animals rather than adaptation of promastigotes in vitro. Ultrastructural (possession ...
During a seroepidemiological survey 2004-2006 from areas in Brazil endemic for American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL), serum samples from 10 dogs with ulcerated cutaneous lesions (S-ACL) and 52 asymptomatic dogs (AS-ACL) of unknown age and breed living in areas endemic for ACL were monitored for 1 year for ulcerated cutaneous lesions and immunoblotting using peroxidase-conjugated secondary anti...
