Previous studies reported antiprotozoal activities of Sapindus saponaria L. The aim of this work was the evaluation of antileishmanial activity and mechanism of action of extract and fractions of S. saponaria L. Hydroethanolic extract (EHA) obtained from fruit pericarps was fractionated using solid-phase extraction in a reversed phase, resulting in fractions enriched with saponins (SAP fraction...

The aim of our work was to examine the relationship between modifications of the surface of nanocapsules (NC) by adsorption or covalent grafting of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEG), and changes in their phospholipid (PL) content on complement activation (C3 cleavage) and on uptake by macrophages. The physicochemical characterization of the NC included an investigation of their properties, such as sur...

The anti-proliferative action of three alkyl-lysophospholipid derivatives, edelfosine (ET-OCH), miltefosine (Hexadecylphosphocholine), and ilmofosine (BM 14.440) has been studied on the promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania donovani. The effect of the three drugs has previously been studied, but the action mode was not clearly elucidated. In this study the effect on the intracellular amas...
