ABC transporter inhibition by beauvericin partially overcomes drug resistance in Leishmania tropica

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease infecting the world’s poorest populations. Miltefosine (ML) remains the primary oral drug against the cutaneous form of leishmaniasis. The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are key players in the xenobiotic efflux, and their inhibition could enhance the therapeutic index. In this study, the ability of beauvericin (BEA) to overcome ABC...
