Efficacy study of novel diamidine compounds in a <em>Trypanosoma evansi</em> goat model (Publications)
goats was seen in the positive control group treated with diminazene at 5 mg/kg and in the DB 75 and DB 867 groups treated at 2.5 mg/kg. Drug treatment was administered once every second day for a total [...] goats treated with DB 75 at 1.25 mg/kg. DB 1192 was incapable of curing goats at either four-times 2.5 mg/kg or 1.25 mg/kg. Pharmacokinetic analysis clearly demonstrated that the treatment failures of DB
The risk of malarial infections and disease in Papua New Guinean children (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax infections in six months of active follow-up (P. falciparum = 5.00, P. vivax = 5.28), they were 21 times more likely to develop symptomatic P. falciparum malaria (1.17/year) [...] whereas similar reductions in risk with age of P. falciparum infection was only seen for parasitemias > 5,000/microL (AHR = 0.49) and symptomatic episodes (AHR = 0.51). Infection and symptomatic episodes with

Diagnostic accuracy and case management of clinical malaria in the primary health services of a rural area in south-eastern Tanzania (Publications)
of any density, 25.5% of all children attending the health services had malaria. This yielded a sensitivity of 70.4% (IC95% = 65.9-74.8%) and a specificity of 68.9% (IC95% = 66.2-71.5%). Accordingly, 30 [...] cases left with no antimalarial treatment. Among malaria-diagnosed patients, 10% were underdosed and 10.5% were overdosed. In this area, as in many African rural areas, the low diagnostic accuracy may imply

Dicationic near-linear biphenyl benzimidazole derivatives as DNA-targeted antiprotozoal agents (Publications)
IC50 values ranging from 0.5 to 23 nM. The compounds showed moderate to good activity in vivo in the STIB900 model for acute African trypanosomiasis. The most active compounds 5b and e gave 3/4 cures on [...] A series of near-linear biphenyl benzimidazole diamidines 5a-h were synthesized from their respective diamidoximes (4a-h), through the bis-O-acetoxyamidoxime, followed by hydrogenation in glacial acetic
