Antiprotozoal structure-activity relationships of synthetic leucinostatin derivatives and elucidation of their mode of action (Publications)
Leucinostatin A is one of the most potent antiprotozoal compounds ever described, but little was known on structure-activity relationships (SAR). We used Trypanosoma brucei as a protozoal model organi
