The mechanistic study of new pharmaceutical compounds is crucial for evaluating their efficacy, identifying potential side effects, and optimising drug formulations. This aimed to investigate the mechanism action trigonelline on promastigote amastigote stages Leishmania major (MRHO/IR/75/ER). An initial in silico was conducted examine pharmacological effects using molecular docking evaluate binding affinity with nitrate, a molecule macrophage immune response against Leishmania. In this experimental study, inhibitory promastigotes evaluated by measuring metacaspase expression levels. stage L. major, levels inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin 12 (IL-12), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) 10 (IL-10) genes were assessed Real-time PCR. Trigonelline demonstrated high-binding iNOS computer modelling. macrophages treated various concentrations trigonelline, glucantime combination, metacaspase, IL-12, TNF-α, IFN-γ significantly increased compared control group (p < 0.05), whereas IL-10 TGF-β gene decreased 0.05). exerts its antileishmanial through high antioxidant properties, non-cytotoxicity macrophages, ability enhance apoptosis cell cycle arrest major.
