Wright’s staining of intracellular amastigotes in cells after treated with three drugs and inhibition rates of intracellular amastigotes. Untreated control amastigotes after 24 h (a) and 48 h (b) of infection. Amastigotes treated with CsA (10 μM) for 24 h (c) and 48 h (d). Amastigotes treated with DHCsA-d (5 μM) for 24 h (e) and 48 h (f). Amastigotes treated with SSG (9 μM) for 24 h (g) and 48 h (h). Inhibition rates of intracellular amastigotes treated with different concentrations of DHCsA-d (i) or SSG (j) at 24 h and 48 h. The arrows indicate amastigotes
