In silico approaches supporting drug repurposing for Leishmaniasis : a scoping review

Abstract: The shortage of treatment options for leishmaniasis, especially those easy to administer and viable for deployment in the world's poorest regions, highlights the importance of employing these strategies to cost-effectively investigate repurposing candidates. This scoping review aims to map the studies using in silico methodologies for drug repurposing against leishmaniasis. This study followed JBI recommendations for scoping reviews. Articles were searched on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using keywords related to leishmaniasis and in silico methods for drug discovery, without publication date restrictions. The selection was based on primary studies involving computational methods for antileishmanial drug repurposing. Information about methodologies, obtained data, and outcomes were extracted. After the full-text appraisal, 34 studies were included in this review. Molecular docking was the preferred method for evaluating repurposing candidates (n=25).
