Multiple unbiased approaches identify oxidosqualene cyclase as the molecular target of a promising anti-leishmanial

Phenotypic screening identified a benzothiophene compound with activity against Leishmania donovani, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis. Using multiple orthogonal approaches, oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC), a key enzyme of sterol biosynthesis, was identified as the target of this racemic com...
