TLDR
This study aims to arrive at terpenoid andrographolide engineered gold nanoparticle (AGAunps) facile synthesis and its efficacy evaluations against wild and drug resistant VL strains for the first time.
Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is World Health Organization designated most serious leishmaniasis with an annual mortality rate of 50,000. Even after country specific eradication programs, the disease...

Axenically cultured amastigote forms as an in vitro model for investigation of antileishmanial agents.

TL;DR: Major differences in the drug susceptibilities of parasites at both stages were compared, which show the specific chemosusceptibility of the parasite at the mammalian stage, demonstrate the potential of using cultured amastigotes instead of promastigote in a drug-screening procedure for early detection.

Generation of Leishmania donovani axenic amastigotes: their growth and biological characteristics

TL;DR: The in vitro culture system described herein provides a useful tool for the generation of large quantities of uniform populations of axenic amastigotes of the L. donovani 1S-CL2D line and should greatly facilitate studies concerning the cell and molecular biology of this parasite developmental stage.

Drug Resistance in Visceral Leishmaniasis

TL;DR: Overall, the development of antileishmanials has been generally slow; new drugs are needed to control visceral leishmaniasis worldwide and treatment advances should become affordable in the poorest countries, where they are needed most.

Biosynthesis of gold nanowires using sugar beet pulp

TL;DR: In this paper, sugar beet pulp was used as reductor and capping agent for the synthesis of gold nanowires, which was induced by both basic mediums, due to the competence between biomolecules and hydroxide ions.
