leishmania tropica

N-(2-Hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide is utilized in the synthesis of copolymers for the targeted delivery of antileishmanial agents in [Visceral leishmaniasis].

ICA (N-[4-(2-Pyridinyl)-2-thiazolyl]-2-pyridinamine) is a SK channel inhibitor and exhibits antileishmanial activity (IC50: 2.1 µM).

Antileishmanial agent-2 is a 3-Br-isoxazoline-Based Inhibitors against Plasmodium falciparum (D10 and W2 strains) and Leishmania spp. (L. infantum and L. tropica) Promastigotes with IC50s of 0.035, 0.058, 3.5 and 7.5 μM.

Sitamaquine is an antileishmanial agent.1It is active againstL. donovani,L. infantum,L. mexicana,L. braziliensis, andL. tropica(EC50s = 9.5-19.8 μM). It inhibits mitochondrial complex II, also known as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), in a cell-free assay when used at concentrations ranging from 10 to 200 μM.2Sitamaquine (100 μM) increases intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreases intracellular ATP levels, as well as induces phosphatidylserine externalization, chromatin fragmentation, and depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential, markers of apoptosis, inL. donovanipromastigotes. 1.López-Martín, C., Pérez-Victoria, J.M., Carvalho, L., et al.Sitamaquine sensitivity in Leishmania species is not mediated by drug accumulation in acidocalcisomesAntimicrob.

Veraguensin is derived from Magnolia sp.. Veraguensin inhibits bone resorption and shows high antileishmanial activity.

2,3-Dihydrohinokiflavone is a suppressor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) gene expression and shows strong activity against Leishmania with an IC50 of 1.6 μM.
