Antileishmanial activity and tubulin polymerization inhibition of podophyllotoxin derivatives on Leishmania infantum
Leishmania microtubules play an important role not only in cell division, but also in keeping the shape of the parasite and motility of its free-living stages. Microtubules result from the self-assembly of alpha and beta tubulins, two phylogenetically conserved and very abundant eukaryotic proteins...
