In vitro activity of 1H-phenalen-1-one derivatives against Leishmania spp. and evidence of programmed cell death

Abstract Background The in vitro activity against Leishmania spp. of a novel group of compounds, phenalenone derivatives, is described in this study. Previous studies have shown that some phenalenones present leishmanicidal activity, and induce a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential in L...
