The pyrazolopyridine KDU731 is a promising drug candidate for treatment of diarrhea caused by Cryptosporidium in young children in the resource-limited world. KDU731, a PI (4) kinase inhibitor, blocks Cryptosporidium infection in vitro and in vivo in immunocompromised mice and dramatically reduces oocyst shedding, diarrhea, and dehydration in neonatal calves.
吡唑并吡啶类化合物KDU731是一种很有前景的候选药物,可用于治疗资源有限地区幼儿由隐孢子虫引起的腹泻。KDU731是一种磷脂酰肌醇-4激酶(PI(4)激酶)抑制剂,在体外和免疫功能低下小鼠的体内均能阻断隐孢子虫感染,并能显著减少新生小牛的卵囊排出、腹泻和脱水症状。
