INHIBITON – Inhibition in relation to control. The number in brackets corresponds to the time when the inhibition was assayed.

Conc. – Concnetration of the inhibitor in µM.

1

The drugs were screened from 15 to 500 µM and the growth followed from 24 to 96 h. The inhibition observed was only marginal.

2

The drugs were screened at 12.5 and 25 µM and the growth compared to the control group after 72 h of incubation, no inhibition was observed.

3

The methodology described in ref [82] was elusive in relation to the time of incubation where the IC50 was calculated.

4

Strains isolated from HIV/Leishmania co-infected patient.
