Effect of EGCG on Leishmania infantum. Promastigotes of L. infantum were cultivated in Schneider’s Drosophila medium at 26°C for 72 h in the absence or presence of EGCG (0.015 – 1 mM). Cell viability was measured using the alamar Blue assay. In the control (absence of EGCG), the same volume of PBS (solvent of EGCG) was added to the growth medium of controls. Values represent mean ± standard error of three different experiments.
