Synthesis and Antiprotozoal Profile of 3,4,5‐Trisubstituted Isoxazoles
A series of 60 4‐aminomethyl 5‐aryl‐3‐substituted isoxazoles were synthesized by an efficient method and evaluated in vitro against Leishmania amazonensis and Trypanosoma cruzi, protozoa that cause the neglected tropical diseases leishmaniasis and Chagas

Natural Sesquiterpene Lactones Induce Oxidative Stress in Leishmania mexicana [PDF]
Leishmaniasis is a worldwide parasitic disease, caused by monoflagellate parasites of the genus Leishmania. In the search for more effective agents against these parasites, the identification of molecular targets has been attempted to ensure the ...

Identifying Drugs Associated With Parkinson's Disease Risk Using Machine Learning
ABSTRACT Machine learning (ML)–based methods have been proposed as a potential approach for identifying candidate drugs to be repurposed as disease‐modifying treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD). We applied an ML‐based signal detection method to identify drugs associated with PD and evaluated the method's generalizability.

The in vitro and in vivo testing of chemotherapeutic agents against pathogenic free living amebae : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. [PDF]
During the last ten years, there has been an increasing awareness of sporadic cases of Primary Amoebic Meningo-encephalitis (PAM) affecting primarily younger age groups and appearing in an acute fulminant form. The earliest positive case (Willaert, 1974)

Activity of 6-aryl-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-amines to Tetrahymena [PDF]
A series 6-aryl-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-amines (43 compounds), some of which are epidermal growth 22 factor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, were tested for their protozoal toxicity using an environmental Tetrahy- 23 mena strain as model organism.

Analogs of 5-methylthioribose, a novel class of antiprotozoal agents [PDF]
Since drug resistance and toxicity limit the use of available antiprotozoal agents, it is important that new drugs be developed as soon as possible. In this study, the method by which several protozoa degrade 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) was shown to differ from MTA catabolism in human cells.

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis—Presentation and progression
Summary Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) remains one of the most frequently diagnosed neurological disorders of horses in North America, caused primarily by Sarcocystis neurona and less commonly Neospora hughesi. The clinical presentation is highly variable due to multifocal involvement of both grey and white matter, with asymmetric ataxia and ...

Synthesis and antiprotozoal activity of oligomethylene- and p-phenylene-bis(methylene)-linked bis(+)-huprines [PDF]
We have synthesized a series of dimers of (+)-(7R,11R)-huprine Y and evaluated their activity against Trypanosoma brucei, Plasmodium falciparum, rat myoblast L6 cells and human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE), and their brain permeability.
