title: Leishmanicidal activity of racemic +/- 8-[(4-amino-1-methylbutyl)amino]-6-methoxy-4-methyl-5-[3,4-dichlorophenoxy]quinoline.
abstract: In this work we studied the in vitro toxicity of +/- 8-[(4-Amino-1-Methylbutyl)Amino]-6-Methoxy-4-Methyl-5-[3,4-dichlorophenoxy]quinoline (DN3-27-1) against stationary phase promastigotes Leishmania (L.) mexicana. Our results indicate that this drug induces an important reduction in parasite growth and killing compared to the reference drug N-methyl meglumine (Glucantime). DN3-27-1 was not toxic to Hela cells cultured in vitro. This is the first report describing the promising potential of DN3-27-1 in treatment of L. (L.) mexicana infections.
