Abstract
Sodium stibogluconate and Ureastibamine, two potent antileishmanial drugs specifically inhibit the relaxation of supercoiled plasmid pBR322 catalyzed by DNA topoisomerase I of Leishmania donovani. Dose dependent inhibition suggests that the drugs interact with the enzyme rather than the DNA. The inhibition reported here concerning a type I DNA topoisomerase demonstrates at least one possible mode of action of these antileishmanial drugs.Entities:
