Summary: This study evaluated the anti-Leishmania activity of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQN) and its synergistic effect with amphotericin B (AmB) against L. martiniquensis. The results showed that 8HQN exhibited anti-Leishmania activity and had a synergistic effect with AmB, suggesting its potential as an alternative treatment for leishmaniasis.

Treatment options for leishmaniasis

S. Pradhan et al.

Summary: Leishmaniasis is classified into cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral forms, with the visceral form being the most dangerous. Treatment of leishmaniasis remains challenging with various drugs available, each differing in cost, toxicity, treatment duration, and emergence of drug resistance. Ongoing research is focused on exploring new drugs and treatment options for leishmaniasis.

Parasitological and immunological evaluation of a quinoline derivative salt incorporated into a polymeric micelle formulation against Leishmania infantum infection

Luciana M. Ribeiro Antinarelli et al.

Summary: In this study, the quinoline derivative QDS3 was tested against Leishmania infantum in vitro and in vivo using polymeric micelles as a delivery system. The results showed that QDS3 exhibited effective antileishmanial activity against both promastigotes and amastigotes, with a higher efficacy against amastigotes. In vivo treatment with QDS3 or QDS3/M significantly reduced the parasite load in infected mice and induced a polarized Th1-type immune response.

Conundrums in leishmaniasis

Baibaswata Saha et al.

Summary: Leishmaniasis, caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, can either be cured or exacerbated. The development of the disease presents several unsolved paradoxes, including the role of salivary proteins during infection, and the process of visceralization leading to internal organ infection.

Insights of 8-hydroxyquinolines: A novel target in medicinal chemistry

Rohini Gupta et al.

Summary: 8-Hydroxyquinoline is an important heterocyclic scaffold in organic and analytical chemistry, used for detecting metal ions and anions due to its chromophore properties. Recently, synthetic modification of 8-hydroxyquinoline has garnered attention for developing potent drug molecules for the treatment of diseases like cancer, HIV, and neurodegenerative disorders. The metal chelation properties of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives also make them potential drug candidates for various diseases.

Toll-like receptor-7/8 agonist kill Leishmania amazonensis by acting as pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory agent

Deepender Kaushik et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the anti-Leishmanial activity of imidazoquinoline-based TLR7/8 agonists. Compounds 2 and 3, as TLR7 agonists, showed promise in inhibiting the growth of L. amazonensis-intracellular amastigotes by inducing the production of free radicals and inflammatory cytokines from macrophages. While these compounds had narrow cytotoxicity windows for macrophages, they could potentially be further developed as less cytotoxic TLR7/8 agonists for anti-Leishmanial drug development.

Leishmanicidal Activity and Ultrastructural Changes of Maslinic Acid Isolated from Hyptidendron canum

Jessica Adriana Jesus et al.

Summary: Maslinic acid isolated from Hyptidendron canum leaves showed leishmanicidal effects, selectively targeting Leishmania parasites without toxicity to host cells. The mechanism of action may involve inducing programmed cell death in the parasites. This suggests that maslinic acid could be a promising candidate for developing new drugs against leishmaniasis.

Luiz Felipe D. Passero et al.

Summary: Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease with limited therapeutic options and severe side effects from available drugs. Traditional communities in different regions use local natural products as alternative medicines. A bibliographic survey identified 292 plants used for treating leishmaniasis, with Latin America contributing significantly to ethnopharmacological studies on the topic.
