Emulgel based on amphotericin B and bacuri butter (Platonia insignis Mart.) for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis: characterization and in vitro assays.

Objective: This work aimed to develop and characterize a topical emulgel of amphotericin B (AmB) with bacuri butter (Platonia insignis Mart.) and evaluate its antileishmanial activity using in vitro assays.

Significance: Leishmaniasis is considered an infectious disease, with high incidence and capacity to produce deformities.
