Pentavalent antimonials (also abbreviated pentavalent Sb or SbV) are a group of compounds used for the treatment of leishmaniasis. They are also called pentavalent antimony compounds.

Types

The first pentavalent antimonial used was urea stibamine: first introduced in the 1930s, it fell out of favour in the 1950s due to higher toxicity compared to sodium stibogluconate.

The compounds currently available for clinical use are:

  • sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam; manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline; available in United States [through the Centers for Disease Control only] and UK), which is administered by slow intravenous injection.
  • meglumine antimoniate (Glucantim; manufactured by Aventis; available in Brazil, France and Italy), which is administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection.[1]

The pentavalent antimonials can only be given by injection: there are no oral preparations available.

Alternatives

In many countries, widespread resistance to antimony has meant that amphotericin or miltefosine are now used in preference.[2]{{cite journal |title= Non-responsiveness to standard treatment in cutaneous leishmaniasis: A case series from Sri Lanka |journal= Tropical Parasitology | volume=6 | issue=2 | pages=156-158 |authors= Wardha Refai, Nayani Madarasingha, Rohini Fernandopulle, Nadira Karunaweera |doi= 10.4103/2229-5070.190835 | year=2016 }}
