Leishmania major is the causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). No human vaccine is available for CL and current drug regimens present several drawbacks such as emerging resistance, severe toxicity, medium effectiveness, and/or high cost. Thus, the need for better treatment options against CL is a priority. In the present study, we validate the enzyme methionine aminopeptidase-1 (MetAP1), a metalloprotease that catalyzes the removal of N-terminal methionine from peptides and proteins, as a chemotherapeutic target against CL i
