Description

FIELD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001] The present invention relates to a composition useful for the treatment of leishmaniasis said composition comprising pharmaceutically effective amount of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, optionally along with other anti-leishmanial agent(s) and / or pharmaceutically acceptable additives, and a method thereof, wherein the said method reduces the cholesterol levels of the plasma membrane of the infected host cells by about 50%.BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0002] Leishmania are protozoan parasites that are responsible for substantial public health problems, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. In a recent survey, 88 countries have been declared as leishmaniasis-endemic.sup.7. The current increase in leishmaniasis throughout the world to epidemic proportion coupled with increasing incidence of the disease in developed countries, and emergence of visceral leishmaniasis as an important opportunistic infection among people with hum...
