Trivalent antimonial drugs, including tartar emetic (TA), are known to induce important cardiotoxicity observed by electrocardiographic abnormalities. Liposome encapsulation was found to reduce the overall acute toxicity of TA. The present work investigated the cardiovascular parameters alterations of rats submitted

We previously documented the induction of Leishmania amastigote apoptosis by trivalent antimony (SbIII) and nitric oxide (NO). We demonstrate here that SbIII-resistant amastigotes were resistant to NO toxicity when delivered extracellularly by NO donors or intracellularly via macrophage activation. Shared
The effect of solvent systems on previously-reported ESI-MS based proton-assisted enantioselective molecular recognition phenomena of tartar emetic, L-antimony(III)-tartrate, was evaluated. This was achieved by carrying out a series of competitive binding experiments using chiral selectors, bis(sodium) D- and -L-antimony(III)-tartrates with

Resistance to treatment is a growing problem in efforts to control Old World leishmaniasis. Parasites resistant to new therapeutics such as miltefosine have not been reported from the field yet but based on experimental evidence, may appear soon. Therefore, we
