Abstract
Disclosed is the use of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and/or phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors as antiparasitic drugs, particularly in those parasitic infections caused by trypanosomatid parasites {Trypanosoma sp. and Leishmania sp.). These inhibitors are useful as trypanocides.
