Evaluation of plasma membrane permeabilization and potential in L. (L.) infantum promastigotes treated with compound 2 (190 μM). (A) The entrance of SYTOX Green dye was monitored spectrofluorimetrically (excitation 485 nm and emission 520 nm) every 20 min. Untreated promastigotes and treated with TX-100 (0.5%) were used to achieve minimal and maximal permeabilization, respectively. Fluorescence is reported as percentage relative to time 0 min (0%) and 120 min (100%). At 120 min, the addition of 0.5% TX-100 in all samples is represented. (B) DiSBAC2(3) dye fluorescence was measured by flow cytometry (excitation 488 nm and emission 574 nm) after 1 and 2 h of incubation. Untreated promastigotes and treated with raloxifene (60 μM) were used to achieve minimal and maximal depolarization, respectively. Fluorescence is reported as percentage relative to promastigotes treated with raloxifene (100%). A representative experiment is shown. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 e ***p < 0.0001.
