| Abstract | This study demonstrates the first standardization of the MTS/PMS tetrazolium-based method in T. cruzi and G. duodenalis, and its application for chemotherapy studies and drug screening. We improved the detection limit and compared the MTT, XTT/PMS and MTS/PMS methods, in T. cruzi epimastigotes, demonstrating that MTS/PMS is more reproducible, sensitive, faster and easier to manipulate than XTT/PMS and MTT. Oligomycin (10 μg ml−1) reduced T. cruzi epimastigote metabolic activity by 60% measured by the MTS/PMS method, which is in accordance with flow cytometry measurements. To validate the MTS/PMS method, an IC50 of 10.5 μM was estimated for the drug amiodarone in T. cruzi and an IC50 of 6.2 μM for metronidazole in G. duodenalis, corroborating the IC50 values found in the literature. In G. duodenalis, a protozoan that has remnant mitochondria, the MTS/PMS method displayed higher sensitivity than T. cruzi epimastigotes. The detection limit was 104 for G. duodenalis trophozoites and 2.5 × 105 for T. cruzi epimastigotes. The intensity of the colored MTS/PMS formazan derivative is proportional to the number of metabolically active protozoa, regardless of whether used in a mitochondrial or an “amitochondrial” organism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
