Toxoplasmosis, caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, is medically important and distributed worldwide. Currently available medications are limited in terms of efficacy and side effects. We synthesized novel, nonacetal, hydrolytically stable derivatives of artemisinin and showed that they inhibit the replication of Toxoplasma gondii in cell culture.
弓形虫病由原生动物刚地弓形虫引起,在医学上具有重要意义,且分布于全球。目前可用的药物在疗效和副作用方面存在局限性。我们合成了新型的、非缩醛的、水解稳定的青蒿素衍生物,并表明它们在细胞培养中能抑制刚地弓形虫的复制。
