The currently available chemotherapeutic treatments present many problems, such as several adverse side effects and the development of resistant strains. Natural compounds have been investigated as potential antileishmanial agents, and the effects of epoxy-\u03b1-lapachone on\n                    <jats:italic>L<\/jats:italic>\n                    .

This compound was able to cause measurable effects on promastigote and amastigote forms of the parasite, affecting plasma membrane organization and leading to death after 3 h of exposure. This compound also had an effect in experimentally infected BALB\/c mice, causing reductions in paw lesions 6 weeks after treatment with 0.44 mM epoxy-\u03b1-lapachone (mean lesion area, 24.9 \u00b1 2.0 mm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), compared to untreated animals (mean lesion area, 30.8 \u00b1 2.6 mm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) or animals treated with Glucantime (mean lesion area, 28.3 \u00b1 1.5 mm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ). In addition, the effects of this compound on the serine proteinase activities of the parasite were evaluated. Serine proteinase-enriched fractions were extracted from both promastigotes and amastigotes and were shown to act on specific serine proteinase substrates and to be sensitive to classic serine proteinase inhibitors (phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, aprotinin, and antipain). These fractions were also affected by epoxy-\u03b1-lapachone. Furthermore,\n                    <jats:italic>in silico<\/jats:italic>\n                    simulations indicated that epoxy-\u03b1-lapachone can bind to oligopeptidase B (OPB) of\n                    <jats:italic>L<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
