Abstract
Leishmanicidal activity of 6α, 7α, 15β, 16β, 24-pentacetoxy-22α-carbometoxy-21β,22β-epoxy-18βâhydroxy-27,30-bisnor-3,4-secofriedela-1,20 (29)-dien-3,4 R-olide (LLD-3 (1)) was demonstrated against intramacrophage amastigotes forms (IC50 of 0.41 μg/mL). The in vitro leishmanicidal effect of Glucantime, the first choice drug for leishmaniasis treatment, was increased by the LLD-3 (1) association. The leishmanicidal effect of LLD-3 (1) was not due to stimulation of nitric oxide production by macrophages.
