Glutathione-Induced Conversion of Pentavalent Antimony to Trivalent Antimony in Meglumine Antimoniate

The standard treatment of human leishmaniases involves the use of pentavalent antimony [Sb(V)] compounds, including meglumine antimoniate. The mode of action of these compounds has not been fully elucidated. The possibility that Sb(III) is involved has been suggested; however, the biomolecule that m...
