Figure 5:

Transmission electron micrographs of intracellular amastigotes after 24 hours of treatment with posaconazole and amiodarone. (A) Untreated amastigotes inside peritoneal macrophages display a normal morphology. N, nucleus; k, kinetoplast; F, flagellum; G, Golgi). (B) After 24 hours of treatment with 1 nM posaconazole, amastigotes appear with autophagic structures (arrow) and dilated Golgi complex lamellae (asterisks). (C–D) Treatment of intracellular amastigotes with 0.5 µM amiodarone caused alterations in the kinetoplast (k), with membrane detachment (arrow) and appearance of internal vesicles (arrowhead).
