Antiprotozoal Activity of Highly Substituted Pyrazole and Pyrimidine Derivatives

ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 16, August 16, 2025.
Based on previously identified antimalarial agents, a series of highly substituted pyrazole and pyrimidines derivatives has been synthesized and tested for antiplasmodial and antileishmanial activity. Selected derivatives show promising antiplasmodial effect with a predicted favorable pharmacokinetic profile.
