Abstract

The increasing global prevalence of the parasitic vector-borne disease leishmaniasis combined with rising resistance to current therapeutics necessitates the search for novel approaches to combat leishmania. This study evaluates the effects of novel strontium-based oxyfluorides for potential therapeutic use by testing cultures of Leishmania tarentolae, a species of Leishmania found in reptiles, as a model species. Cells were cultured with a range of mixed metal strontium oxyfluoride compounds selected to systematically test the relationship between compound structure and cell viability and enzyme activity over time.
