Despite huge suffering caused by cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), there is no effective and affordable treatment strategy against CL and no licensed vaccines. The current treatments show limited efficacy and high toxicity. Improved therapies through discovery of novel drugs and/or an alternative treatment approaches are/is urgently needed. We aimed at identifying a novel antileishmanial agent and developing an innovative nanoparticle (NP) based platform for safe and effective treatments against CL. We discovered that polyhexanide (PHMB), a widely used antimicrobial polymer and wound antisepsis, shows an inherent antileishmanial activity at submicromolar concentrations. PHMB appears to kill L. major parasites via a dual mechanism involving disr...
