Figure 5. . Analysis of the effects of KH-TFMDI on Leishmania amazonensis ultrastructure.

Figure 5. 

(A) Transmission electron microscopy of nontreated L. amazonensis, showing typical structures of the family, such as kDNA (k), flagellum (f), nucleus (n) and mitochondrion (m). (B) Parasite treated with 10 μM KH-TFMDI for 48 h. The arrows show lipid bodies, and the arrowhead shows mitochondrial alterations. (C) L. amazonensis with 5 μM KH-TFMDI for 48 h. Note the presence of several lipid bodies (LB) in the cytoplasm. (D) Nontreated L. amazonensis by scanning electron microscopy. Note the elongation of the cell body. (E) Treatment with 3 μM KH-TFMDI for 72 h. Parasites were swollen in the central region of the body (arrowhead).
