Synthesis andin vitroEvaluation of New Benzenesulfonamides as Antileishmanial Agents

Synthesis of Thieno[2,3]-pyrimidines as Candidate Antileishmanial Agents

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of mono-arylimidamides as antileishmanial agents

Arylimidamide (AIA) compounds containing two pyridylimidamide terminal groups (bis-AIAs) possess outstanding in vitro antileishmanial activity, and the frontrunner bis-AIA DB766 (2,5-bis[2-(2-isopropoxy)-4-(2-pyridylimino)aminophenyl]furan) is active in visceral leishmaniasis models when given orally. Eighteen compounds containing a single pyridylimidamide terminal group (mono-AIAs) were synthe...

Synthesis of some new tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives as possible antibacterial agents

Heterocyclic compounds containing a pyrimidine nucleus are of special interests due to their applications in medicinal chemistry as they are the basic skeleton of several bioactive compounds such as antifungal, antibacterial, antitumor and antitubercular. As a part of our research in the synthesis of pyrimidine derivatives containing biological activities, some new tetrahydropyrimidine derivati...

9-Anilinoacridines as potential antileishmanial agents.

A number of 1'-substituted 9-anilinoacridines were evaluated for their activities against promastigote and amastigote forms of Leishmania major and for their toxicities to human Jurkat leukemia cells. Several compounds possessing 1'-NH-alkyl substituents produced more than 80% growth inhibition of macrophage-infected L. major amastigotes at or below a concentration of 1 microM. 1'-Hexylamino-9-...
