Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has evolved as a promising therapeutic measure for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). In particular, phenothiazine compounds have demonstrated efficacy for PDT of CL. The objective of our present study is to define the use of a new specific phenothiazine photosensitizer, 3,7‐bis(di‐n‐butylamino)phenothiazin‐5‐ium bromide (PPA904) applied topically as a cream to treat CL.
