Beyond immune escape:a variant surface glycoprotein causes suramin resistance in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2017
Suramin is one of the first drugs developed in a medicinal chemistry program (Bayer, 1916), and it is still the treatment of choice for the hemolymphatic stage of African sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense.

Investigation of Novel Isatinylhydantoin Derivatives as Potential Anti‐Kinetoplastid Agents

ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2, 2025.
A series of isatinylhydantoin derivatives were synthesized and investigated for antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activities in vitro and in vivo. The derivative 5 was identified with higher leishmanicidal activity than the clinical drug amphotericin B while 4b was uncovered as in vitro trypanocidal hit against T. congolense parasite.

Exploration of Novel “Ferroxazide/Ferrazone” Derivatives as Antitrypanosomatid Agents: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Efficacy

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 39, Issue 1, January 2025.
A series of novel ferrocene derivatives, mimics of the clinical antibiotics, nifuroxazide and nitrofurazone, termed ferroxazides and ferrazones, respectively, were synthesized and evaluated for antitrypanosomatid activities. The ferroxazide 15 bearing dimethylamino moiety was identified in vitro as hit against Trypanosoma congolense strain but ...

Diamidines versus Monoamidines as Anti-Pneumocystis Agents: An in Vivo Study

Pharmaceuticals, 2013
Some compounds articulated around a piperazine or an ethylenediamine linker have been evaluated in vitro to determine their activity in the presence of a 3T6 fibroblast cell line and an axenic culture of Pneumocystis carinii, respectively.

Synthesis and In Vitro Antileishmanial Efficacy of Novel Ethylene Glycol Analogues of Benzothiadiazine‐1,1‐dioxide

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne, parasitic disease affecting millions of people and animals worldwide. Current therapeutic options have proven to be ineffective in both treating the disease and preventing its spread. As a result, new drugs must be developed to effectively combat this disease.

In Vitro Screening Test Using Leishmania Promastigotes Stably Expressing mCherry Protein [PDF]

, 2014
Transgenic Leishmania major and Leishmania donovani axenic promastigotes constitutively expressing mCherry were used for in vitro antileishmanial drug screening. This method requires minimal sample manipulation and can be easily adapted to automatic drug
