Synthesis and antiparasitic and antifungal evaluation of 2'-arylsubstituted-1H,1'H-[2,5']bisbenzimidazolyl-5-carboxamidines (Publications)
A series of 2'-arylsubstituted-1H,1'H-[2,5']-bisbenzimidazolyl-5-carboxamidines were prepared in a six-step process starting from 4-amino-3-nitrobenzonitrile. The antiparasitic activity against Trypanosoma

line alkaloids, ancistrotanzanines A (5) and B (6), and the known compound ancistrotectoriline A (7). Ancistrotazanine A (5) represents a hitherto unprecedented 5,3'-coupling type between the naphthalene [...] isoquinoline portions, while 6 and 7 are 5,8'-coupled. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptical methods. Compounds 5 and 6 showed good activities against [...] the pathogens of leishmaniasis and Chagas' disease, Leishmania donovani and...
Comparative antimalarial activities of six pairs of 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes (peroxide dimers) and 1,2,4,5,7,8-hexaoxonanes (peroxide trimers) (Publications)
Six tetraoxanes had 50% inhibitory concentrations in the range of 10 to 100 ng/ml against Plasmodium falciparum, whereas the corresponding hexaoxonanes had minimal antimalarial activity. The lack of i
