Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major ( L. major ) is an endemic disease in Iran. The current reference drugs, including Glucantime, possess high toxicity in addition to some side-effects. Therefore, there is a growing interest in exploring biomedical plants. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the anti-leishmanial activity and cytotoxicity of hydroalcoholic extracts from Prosopis farcta ( P. farcta ) over promastigote and amastigote forms.
