Biosynthesis of a trypanocide by Chromobacterium violaceum

open access: yesWorld Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1994
Radio-isotope studies indicated not only that L-tryptophan can serve as carbon source for synthesis of the trypanocide, violacein by Chromobacterium violaceum (BB-78 strain) but also that isatin and indole 3-acetic acid are both important metabolic intermediates.

Pharma to farmer: field challenges of optimizing trypanocide use in African animal trypanosomiasis [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Parasitology, 2021
Trypanocides are a key control component of African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) in tsetse-infested areas of sub-Saharan Africa. While farmers are dependent upon trypanocides, recent research highlights their inappropriate and ineffective use, problems ...

Trypanocidal treatment of Chagas disease

Enfermedades infecciosas y microbiologia clinica (English ed.), 2021
Chagas disease is a neglected parasitosis caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. This infection is present in most Latin American countries, although, due to migratory movements, it is a growing cause for concern in non-endemic countries. The only two drugs currently available for its treatment-benznidazole and nifurtimox-were marketed 50 ...

Methylating agents as trypanocides

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1990
Methylating agents, such as streptozotocin, procarbazine, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, dimethyl sulfate, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, and a series of 1,2-bis(sulfonyl)-1-methylhydrazines synthesized in this laboratory, were evaluated and shown to be therapeutically active against murine models of African trypanosomiasis.

Intracellular localization and metabolism of the phenanthridinium trypanocide, ethidium bromide, by isolated rat hepatocytes

open access: yesXenobiotica, 1999
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) has shown that ethidium (3, 8-diamino-5-ethyl-6-phenylphenanthridinium) bromide, an aromatic phenanthridinium trypanocide, is taken up rapidly into the nucleoli and nuclear membranes of isolated rat hepatocytes ...

Metamidium: a New Trypanocidal Drug

Nature, 1958
THIS communication describes a new trypanocide, which has been found to possess considerable potentiality as a curative and as a prophylactic drug, both in laboratory experiments and in field trials carried out in Africa during the past year.

STANDARDIZATION OF THE TRYPANOCIDAL TEST AND OF THE TRYPANOCIDAL VALUE OF ARSPHENAMINE

Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology, 1928
The therapeutic value of arsphenamine was established by Ehrlich and Hata 1 as a result of experiments on various animals (mice, rats, chickens and rabbits) inoculated with syphilis, trypanosomiasis, chicken spirillosis and recurrent fever. The nature of these diseases is such as to permit of a more or less direct observation of the effect of the drug ...

Trypanocidal effects of catecholamines and indolealkylamines

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1990
Catecholamines, indolealkylamines and their analogues are oxidized at neutral or alkaline pH, producing hydrogen peroxide, quinones and free radicals. Several of these amines were tested for trypanocidal effects on Trypanosoma brucei, which possess a well-documented vulnerability to such oxidation products.
