Abstract

Leishmania is an intracellular protozoal infection, and it is classified as a neglected disease by the World Health Organization (WHO). Annually more than 2 million newly diagnosed cases were treated with highly toxic drugs. Leishmanial pyridoxal kinase enzyme (LPDxK) is an essential and druggable target. DNDI1103666 is the most promising lead as a potential inhibitor for LPDxK
