Abstract

Infections caused by trypanosomatids of Leishmania genus represent one of the largest global public health problems, currently with high endemicity especially in developing countries. The drugs of choice for the treatment of leishmaniasis are the pentavalent antimonials, which cause renal and cardiac toxicity, and induce resistance in the parasite.
