Figure 1.
The anti-leishmanial activity of CA, capric acid and lauric acid after 48 h treatment against L. donovani promastigotes in vitro (A) and against intracellular amastigotes ex vivo (B). Further, the anti-leishmanial activity of caprylic acid methyl ester (1m-CAE), 4-methyl caprylic acid (4m-CA), 8-amino caprylic acid and valproic acid were compared with caprylic acid for both promastigotes (C) and amastigotes (D) at the same time interval. Structure of CA and their analogues used in this study (E). Note: *P < 0.05; **0.05 < P < 0.01; ***0.01 < P < 0.001.
