In silico and in vitro inhibitory potential of an organometallic Cu (II) complex on Leishmania major stages.

Leishmaniosis results in a serious complication, principally in the tropical and subtropical areas. Metalcored complexes, like meglumine antimoniate (MA) have proven antileishmanial activity. Similarly, in this research, we investigated the effects of Cu (II) dimethoxy bipyridine (CuDMOBP) against Leishmania major stages in silico and in vitro.
