Dicationic phenyl-2,2′-bichalcophenes and analogues as antiprotozoal agents [PDF]
A series of phenyl-2,2'-bichalcophene diamidines 1a-h were synthesized from the corresponding dinitriles either via a direct reaction with LiN(TMS)₂, followed by deprotection with ethanolic HCl or through the bis-O-acetoxyamidoxime followed by hydrogenation in acetic acid and EtOH over Pd-C.

Towards broadspectrum antiprotozoal agents
Since the market for antiparasitic drugs is in poor Third World countries, innovative and cost effective approaches to antiparasite drug discovery and development are urgently needed. Development of broadspectrum antiprotozoal agents acting against multiple protozoan parasites offers numerous advantages in addressing the challenges inherent in the ...
