Targeting Kinetoplastid Parasites with ProTide Prodrugs: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health challenge, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Kinetoplastid parasites causing Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and African trypanosomiasis rely on host purine salvage pathways, making nucleoside analogues attractive therapeutic candidates.

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of DNDI‐6148, a novel agent for leishmaniasis: A randomized, controlled, single ascending dose study in healthy participants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 1087-1097, April 2026.
Aim The benzoxaborole derivative DNDI‐6148 is an antiparasitic agent with activity against multiple Leishmania protozoan species, including L. infantum and L. donovani, which cause visceral leishmaniasis. We investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of DNDI‐6148 in a randomized, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled ...
