We report here that bloodstream forms of the African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei, are sensitive to the anti-influenza virus drug rimantadine (50% inhibitory concentration of 1.26 micrograms ml-1 at pH 7.4). The activity is pH dependent and is consistent with a mechanism involving inhibition of the ability to regulate internal pH. Rimantadine is also toxic to the trypanosomatid parasites Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania major.
我们在此报告,非洲锥虫布氏锥虫的血流形式对抗流感病毒药物金刚烷胺敏感(在pH 7.4时50%抑制浓度为1.26微克/毫升)。其活性依赖于pH,并且与一种涉及抑制调节内部pH能力的机制一致。金刚烷胺对锥虫寄生虫克氏锥虫和硕大利什曼原虫也有毒性。
