Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Compositions and methods for inhibiting Leishmaniasis using AIs are provided. Aspects provide compositions and methods for administering AIs alone or in combination with other compounds to infected hosts.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. A method of reducing the Leishman-Donovan units (LDU) of Leishmaniasis in a host, comprising: administering a daily dose of at least about 0.1 mg/kg of an autophagy inducer (AI) to the host wherein the AI is AR-12 (2-amino-N-(4-(5-(phenanthren-2-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)acetamide) and is co-administered with a second compound, and the Leishman-Donovan units (LDU) of Leishmaniasis in the host of Leishmaniasis are reduced. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Leishman-Donovan units (LDU) are reduced to less than about 47% of the untreated control. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second compound is selected from the group consisting of sodium stibogluconate (SSG), amphotericin B, pentamidine isethionate, miltefosine, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and fluconazole. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the resulting Leishman-Donovan units (LDU) is less than about 1% of the untreated control. 5. A method of treating a host infected with Leishmaniasis, comprising: administering a daily dose of at least about 0.1 mg/kg of an autophagy inducer (AI) and a second compound to the host, wherein the AI is AR-12 (2-amino-N-(4-(5-(phenanthren-2-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)acetamide). 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second compound is selected from the group consisting of sodium stibogluconate (SSG), amphotericin B, pentamidine isethionate, miltefosine, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and fluconazole.
