From: Cell death in amastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis induced by parthenolide
Effect of parthenolide on amastigotes of L. amazonensis in mouse resident peritoneal macrophages. Peritoneal macrophage cells were infected with promastigote forms, and then intracellular amastigotes were treated with different concentrations of parthenolide. After 24 h treatment, the survival index was calculated by multiplying the percentage of macrophages with internalized parasites and mean number of internalized parasites per macrophage. The results shown are from one representative experiment of two independent experiments performed in duplicate. The data were compared statistically at p < 0.05. Bars that are not indicated with letters in common are statistically different.
