edelfosine has been researched along with Leishmania Infection in 3 studies

edelfosine: RN given refers to parent cpd
edelfosine : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-edelfosine.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The present study shows that the antileishmanial and anticancer actions of edelfosine share some common signaling processes, with mitochondria and raft-located FOF1-ATP synthase being critical in the killing process, thus identifying novel druggable targets for the treatment of leishmaniasis."3.85Mitochondria and lipid raft-located FOF1-ATP synthase as major therapeutic targets in the antileishmanial and anticancer activities of ether lipid edelfosine. ( Botet, J; Cuesta-Marbán, Á; Gajate, C; Jimenez, A; Justies, N; Modolell, M; Mollinedo, F; Müller, I; Revuelta, JL; Varela-M, RE; Villa-Pulgarín, JA, 2017)
"The alkylphosphocholine class of drugs, including edelfosine and miltefosine, has recently shown promise in the treatment of protozoal and fungal diseases, most notably, leishmaniasis."3.72Lem3p is essential for the uptake and potency of alkylphosphocholine drugs, edelfosine and miltefosine.
