- W4313368059 abstract "Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a progressive, debilitating, and potentially fatal disease if left untreated. As a neglected tropical disease (NTD), the available treatment is restricted to a few drugs, which typically must be administered over a long period but are associated with serious adverse effects and have variability in efficacy. In this sense, drug repositioning has been considered an excellent strategy in the search for alternative treatments, especially in reducing the time and cost of the research. In this work, the repositioning potential of amodiaquine (AQ), a well-known antimalarial drug, was investigated for the treatment of VL. AQ showed significant and selective activity against promastigotes (IC50 = 11.6 μg/mL) and intracellular amastigotes (IC50 = 2.4 μg/mL) of L. infantum, being 10 times more destructive to the intracellular parasites than the host cell. In addition, pre-treatment of macrophages with AQ caused a significant reduction in the infection index, indicating a prophylactic effect of this drug. SEM images showed that AQ induces strong shape alterations of the promastigotes with an increase in cell volume with rounding and ribbing (vertical ridges), as well as a shortened flagellum. In addition, AQ induced depolarization of the ΔΨm, an increase in ROS and neutral lipids levels, and changes in the cell cycle in promastigotes, without alterations to the permeability of the parasite plasma membrane. L. infantum-infected macrophages treated with AQ induced the activation of oxidative mechanisms by infected host cells, with an increase in ROS and NO levels. Finally, in vitro interactions between AQ and miltefosine were found to have an additive effect in both biological stages of the parasite, with the ∑FIC50 values ranging from 0.74 to 1.16 μg/mL and 0.54-1.11 μg/mL for promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes, respectively. Overall, these data highlight the utility of drug repurposing and indicate future preclinical testing for AQ itself or in combination as a potential VL treatment." @default.
