Description

Pentamidine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits the polymerase chain reaction. Pentamidine has been shown to inhibit the growth of Leishmania, a protozoan parasite that causes leishmaniasis. It binds to DNA and alters its structure, which prevents transcription and replication. This drug also has a low toxicity and side effect profile, making it an attractive candidate for development as an anti-leishmanial agent.
