Resumo: Leishmaniasis groups some neglected diseases caused by intracellular protozoa Leishmania. Its main clinical forms are the tegumentary (LT) and Visceral (LV). Currently, the therapy against leishmaniasis is based on the use of five drugs: the pentavalent antimonials, amphotericin B and its liposomal formulation, miltefosine, paromomycin and pentamidine. These compounds present limitations that difficult patient’s adherence to treatment, such as high toxicity and the need for prolonged parenteral administration, in addition to the selection of resistant strains. Thus, employing the literature narrative review, we brought a panorama of the current leishmaniasis treatment, its elucidated action mechanisms, attributed toxicity, adverse effects and administration routes. Aiming to point this, the more updated data available in the literature were brought to facilitate access information on therapeutic options, in addition to new therapeutic alternatives and vaccine perspectives against this neglected disease.

Sus principales formas clínicas son tegumentario (LT) y visceral (LV). Actualmente, la terapéutica contra leishmaniosis es basada en la utilización de cinco fármacos: los antimoniales pentavalentes, la anfotericina B y su formulación liposomal, la miltefosina, la paromomicina y la pentamidina. Estos compuestos presentan limitaciones que dificultan la adherencia del paciente al tratamiento como: la elevada toxicidad y la necesidad de administración prolongada por vía parenteral, así como una posible selección de cepas resistentes. Así, utilizando la revisión narrativa de literatura, se busca aclarar un panorama del tratamiento actual de la leishmaniasis, sus mecanismos de acción elucidados, su toxicidad, sus efectos adversos y vías de administración. Para tanto, se traen los datos más actuales disponibles en la literatura para facilitar el acceso a las informaciones sobre las opciones terapéuticas, y también de las nuevas alternativas terapéuticas y perspectivas de vacunas contra esta enfermedad desatendida.As leishmanioses são um grupo de doenças negligenciadas causadas por protozoários intracelulares do gênero Leishmania. Suas principais formas clínicas são a tegumentar (LT) e a visceral (LV). Atualmente a terapêutica contra a leishmaniose baseia-se na utilização de cinco fármacos: os antimoniais pentavalentes, a anfotericina B e a sua formulação lipossômica, a miltefosina, a paromomicina e a pentamidina. Estes compostos apresentam limitações que dificultam a adesão do paciente ao tratamento como: a elevada toxicidade e a necessidade de administração prolongada por via parenteral, além da possível seleção de cepas resistentes. Assim, utilizando a revisão narrativa de literatura, buscou-se elucidar um panorama do tratamento atual da leishmaniose, seus mecanismos de ação elucidados, sua toxicidade atribuída, seus efeitos adversos e vias de administração. Para tanto, os dados mais atualizados disponíveis na literatura foram trazidos para facilitar o acesso às informações sobre as opções terapêuticas, além das novas alternativas terapêuticas e perspectivas de vacinas contra esta doença negligenciada.Research, Society and Development2021-06-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1654310.33448/rsd-v10i7.16543Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 7; e29510716543Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 7; e29510716543Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 7; e295107165432525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/16543/14807Copyright (c) 2021 Alexandre Silva Santiago; Samuel Silva da Rocha Pita; Elisalva Teixeira Guimarãeshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantiago, Alexandre SilvaPita, Samuel Silva da RochaGuimarães, Elisalva Teixeira2021-07-18T21:07:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/16543Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:37:03.950997Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
