[ 1 ] - Novel 5-(nitrothiophene-2-yl)-1,3,4-Thiadiazole Derivatives: Synthesis and Antileishmanial Activity against promastigote stage of Leishmania major

In this study, a series of novel compounds based on 5-(5-nitrothiophene-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole possessing (het)aryl thio pendant at C-2 position of thiadiazole ring is developed and evaluated as antileishmanial agents using MTT colorimetric assay. 10 New compounds containing aryl and hetero aryl derivatives, started from thiophene-2-carbaldehyde in five steps, were synthesized in good to excel...

[ 3 ] - Effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra and glycyrrhizic acid on promastigote and amastigote of Leishmania major (MRHO/IR/75/ER)

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis by different species of Leishmania. Pentavalen antimonials as a first line drug for treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis have several limitations and side effects. Natural products are more considered due to their less toxicity and cost, more efficient, safety and readily available antileishmania agents. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the eff...
