Amlodipine and lacidipine, conventional antihypertensive drugs, inhibited Leishmania donovani infection in vitro and in BALB/c mice when administered orally. These 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives functioned through dose-dependent inhibition of oxygen consumption, triggering caspase 3-like activation-mediated programmed cell death of the parasites.
氨氯地平和拉西地平这两种传统抗高血压药物,口服给药时在体外和BALB/c小鼠体内均能抑制杜氏利什曼原虫感染。这些1,4 - 二氢吡啶衍生物通过剂量依赖性抑制氧消耗发挥作用,引发半胱天冬酶3样激活介导的寄生虫程序性细胞死亡。
