摘要
这篇综述提出和讨论了利什曼病治疗的现状和远景,重点侧重在蛋白抑制剂的使用。提出和讨论了治疗发展的历史,第一代,第二代现代药物和使用蛋白酶抑制剂治疗利什曼病的优点和缺点。这篇报道证实了蛋白酶抑制剂作为现代利什曼病治疗的一种可替代或者补充疗法的潜在有用性。他们也支持了用多种蛋白酶抑制剂联合治疗可能对脊椎动物宿主中对抗利士曼原虫感染是有效的的这种假说。

摘要: This review presents and discusses the current status and perspectives of leishmaniasis treatment, with a special focus on the use of proteinase inhibitors. The history of treatment development, the first- and second-choice modern drugs and the advantages and disadvantages of using proteinases inhibitors as leishmanicidal treatments are presented and discussed. The reports gathered herein confirm the potential usefulness of proteinases inhibitors as an alternative or complement to the current leishmaniasis treatments. They also support the hypothesis that a combined treatment with multiple proteinase inhibitors may be efficient against Leishmania infections in vertebrate hosts.
