Trypanosoma cruzi response to sterol biosynthesis inhibitors: morphophysiological alterations leading to cell death.
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi displays similarities to fungi in terms of its sterol lipid biosynthesis, as ergosterol and other 24-alkylated sterols are its principal endogenous sterols. The sterol pathway is thus a potential drug target for the treatment of Chagas disease. We describe he...
