Abstract

Antimalarial drugs based on quinolines have been widely used as leishmanicidal agents for either cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis models. Herein, we showed the leishmanicidal response against in vitro models of different Leishmania spp. and against in vivo models of eleven key antimalarials, including chloroquine, sitamaquine, amodiaquine, mefloquine, quinine, primaquine, hydroxychloroquine, tafenoquine, quinacrine and moxipraquine. Mechanistic studies and advances in clinical treatment are also discussed. This mini-review aims to show the state of the art in using antimalarial drugs to discover alternative therapies for leishmaniasis treatment.

喹啉类抗疟药作为利什曼尼杀灭剂的应用综述。

以喹啉类药物为基础的抗疟药物已被广泛用于皮肤或内脏利什曼病模型。在此，我们展示了对不同利什曼原虫的体外模型和11种主要抗疟药物（包括氯喹、西他喹、阿莫地喹、甲氟喹、奎宁、伯氨喹、羟氯喹、他非诺喹、奎宁和莫西普拉喹）的体内模型的利什曼原虫免疫反应。还讨论了机理研究和临床治疗进展。这篇小型综述的目的是展示使用抗疟疾药物以发现治疗利什曼病的替代疗法的最新状况。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Chemistry is a high visiblity and quality journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the chemical sciences. Field Chief Editor Steve Suib at the University of Connecticut is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to academics, industry leaders and the public worldwide. Chemistry is a branch of science that is linked to all other main fields of research. The omnipresence of Chemistry is apparent in our everyday lives from the electronic devices that we all use to communicate, to foods we eat, to our health and well-being, to the different forms of energy that we use. While there are many subtopics and specialties of Chemistry, the fundamental link in all these areas is how atoms, ions, and molecules come together and come apart in what some have come to call the “dance of life”. All specialty sections of Frontiers in Chemistry are open-access with the goal of publishing outstanding research publications, review articles, commentaries, and ideas about various aspects of Chemistry. The past forms of publication often have specific subdisciplines, most commonly of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistries, but these days those lines and boxes are quite blurry and the silos of those disciplines appear to be eroding. Chemistry is important to both fundamental and applied areas of research and manufacturing, and indeed the outlines of academic versus industrial research are also often artificial. Collaborative research across all specialty areas of Chemistry is highly encouraged and supported as we move forward. These are exciting times and the field of Chemistry is an important and significant contributor to our collective knowledge.
