Drug targets in Leishmania
Bhavna Chawla,Rentala Madhubala +1 more
TL;DR: In this review, some of the metabolic pathways that are essential and could be used as potential drug targets in Leishmania are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paromomycin: uptake and resistance in Leishmania donovani.
TL;DR: The effect and mechanism of uptake of paromomycin in Leishmania donovani is elucidated and reduction in membrane potential and inhibition of protein synthesis were less pronounced in the resistant strain in comparison to the wild-type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paromomycin affects translation and vesicle-mediated trafficking as revealed by proteomics of paromomycin –susceptible –resistant Leishmania donovani
TL;DR: The results provide the first comprehensive insight into the mode of action and underlying mechanism of resistance to paromomycin in Leishmania donovani.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential expression of proteins in antimony-susceptible and -resistant isolates of Leishmania donovani
TL;DR: Global proteome differences between antimony-susceptible/-resistant isolates are identified and modification of expression of proteins involved in the key metabolic pathways are detected, which could serve as surrogate markers for resistance or susceptibility and help in understanding the underlying mechanism of resistance to antimonials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and Characterization of a Novel Deoxyhypusine Synthase in Leishmania donovani
Bhavna Chawla,Anupam Jhingran,Sushma Singh,Nidhi Tyagi,Myung Hee Park,Narayanaswamy Srinivasan,Sigrid C. Roberts,Rentala Madhubala +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that DHS34 is essential for L. donovani and that structural differences in the human and leishmanial DHS enzyme may be exploited for designing selective inhibitors against the parasite.
