Abstract
Growth inhibition in vitro tests were used to study the susceptibility to pentostam of different Leishmania strains involved in cutaneous and mucocutaneos leishmaniasis - one glucantime sensitive strain, three naturally glucantime resistant strains and one glucantime resistant line developed by in vitro drug exposure. Contrasting with the high degree , of glucantime resistance, all strains were sensitive to pentostam. These differences suggest that there is some relationship between chemical structure and in vitro activity for these antimonial compounds. These data justify a clinical re-evaluation to compare therapeutic efficacy of glucantime and pentostam in the treatment of leishmaniasis.Diferentes amostras de Leishmania foram analisadas quanto Ă susceptibilidade in vitro ao pentostam - uma cepa de L. (V) braziliensis considerada sensĂvel ao glucantime, trĂŞs cepas (duas L. (V) braziliensis e uma L. (L) amazonensis) consideradas naturalmente resistentes ao glucantime, uma linhagem resistente (L. (V) guyanensis) selecionada in vitro pela exposição em alta concentração de droga. A elevada sensibilidade destas amostras em contraposição Ă resistĂŞncia observada para o glucantime sugere existir relação entre a estrutura quĂmica e a atividade destes compostos. Estes dados indicam a necessidade de ima avaliação comparativa de atividade clĂnica do pentostam e do glucantime no tratamento da leishmaniose.
