Dear colleagues,

This is a request for information regarding a potential 
anti-leishmanial agent isolated from the plant Galipea longiflora 
(Eventa) said to be relatively common in the Peruvian forest. 
Apparently, a new drug called "chimanine", obtained from this plant, 
has been patented by the "Coopératrion française"

Has anyone any further information regarding this product ? Does it 
exist ? Is it actually being tested ? Are the results available ?

Thanks for your help.
