Abstract

Leishmaniasis is a widespread but neglected disease, the therapeutic arsenal against the disease is limited, and consists of highly toxic drugs. There is an urgent demand for new drugs to treat Leishmaniasis. Metabolome can be used to detect changes in a biological system. A variety of analytical systems, such as NMR and separation techniques GC, LC and CE (all coupled with mass-spectrometry), are used for metabolomics studies. This project intends to investigate in vitro the anti-leishmaniasis potential of natural products, such as peptides derived from amphibian skin, and to compare with comercial drugs (such as pentavalent antimonial, miltefosine and buparvaquone) for the treatment of Leishmania parasites, using a metabolomic approach in diferent analytical and complementary platforms (CE-MS and LC-MS).
