We identified several diimidazoline mono- and diamides that were as potent as pentamidine against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense in vitro. All of these were also less cytotoxic than pentamidine, but none was as effective as the latter in a T. brucei rhodesiense-infected mouse model. A single imidazoline may be sufficient for high antitrypanosomal activity provided that a second weak base functional group is present.
我们鉴定出了几种二咪唑啉单酰胺和二酰胺,它们在体外对布氏罗得西亚锥虫的活性与喷他脒相当。所有这些化合物的细胞毒性也都比喷他脒小,但在布氏罗得西亚锥虫感染的小鼠模型中,没有一种化合物的效果能与后者相媲美。只要存在第二个弱碱官能团,单个咪唑啉可能就足以产生高抗锥虫活性。
