| Type | Article | |
| Abstract | The interest in phytopharmaceutical products
and herbal medicines has been a trend in recent
years and this approach may be useful as basis for
developing new treatment against leishmaniasis. In
this review, we discuss the perspectives of leishmaniasis
treatment based on natural products and
phytotherapy and compare it to the advantages and
disadvantages of using the current drugs of first- and
second-choice against leishmaniasis. The reports
gathered herein reinforce the leishmanicidal effects
of medicinal plants and its derivatives, such as
Kalanchoe pinnata, Plumbago scandens, Physalis
angulata, Piper aduncum, Peschiera (Tabernaemontana)
australis, Phyllanthus amarus, and Artemisia
annua, and indicates their use as possible alternative
or complementary treatments against leishmaniasis.
The data presented here support the use of medicinal
plants as safe and inexpensive treatments for
leishmaniasis. | pt_BR |
