Plasmodium falciparum and Leishmania sp. resistance to antiparasitic drugs has become a major concern in malaria leishmaniasis control. These diseases are public health problems with significant socioeconomic impacts, mostly affect disadvantaged populations living remote tropical areas. This challenge emphasizes the need search for new chemical scaffolds that preferably possess novel modes of action contribute antimalarial antileishmanial research programs. study aimed investigate properties...
Despite the success of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), HIV persists in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) due to emerging drug resistance insufficient accessibility. Furthermore, cART does not target latently-infected CD4+ T cells, which represent a major barrier eradication. The “shock kill” therapeutic approach aims reactivate provirus expression cells presence virus-expressing for elimination. An attractive prototype LMICs would therefore be capable simultaneously...
