Evaluation of the Effect of Liposome Carriers and Albumin Nanoparticles Containing Activated Melittin on Inhibiting the Growth of Leishmania Major Amastigote in vivo

Abstract

to the death of the mice in the control group. However, in the first and second groups treated with liposomes containing peptide and nanoparticle albumin, at the beginning of the fifth week, the wound size got smaller, and the recovery process initiated (P<0.05). Discussion & Conclusion: The results of this part of the study showed that the therapeutic effects with liposome carriers and albumin nanoparticles containing 25 μg/ml activated melittin in mice with leishmaniasis can be compared with those of the control group. Liposome and nanoparticle carriers of albumin-containing activated melittin have been suggested as an effective, appropriate, and even alternative treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis .
