Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) Inhibits Arginase Activity and Growth of <i>Leishmania amazonensis</i> Promastigotes and Intracellular Amastigotes

Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) Inhibits Arginase Activity and Growth of <i>Leishmania amazonensis</i> Promastigotes and Intracellular Amastigotes

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a polyphenol produced by many plants and is found in red and green propolis. Here, we evaluated the antileishmanial activity of this natural product against <i>Leishmania amazonensis</i>. CAPE exhibited IC<sub>50</sub> values of 8.07 µM...
