Synthesis and antiprotozoal properties of pentamidine congeners bearing the benzofuran motif (Publications)
Forty-eight cationically substituted pentamidine congeners possessing benzofuran rings were synthesized by a copper mediated heteroannulation of substituted o-iodophenols with phenyl acetylenes. Activ
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 Trypan
Effect of short-wave (6-22 MHz) magnetic fields on sleep quality and melatonin cycle in humans: the Schwarzenburg shut-down study (Publications)
This paper describes the results of a unique "natural experiment" of the operation and cessation of a broadcast transmitter with its short-wave electromagnetic fields (6-22 MHz) on sleep quality and m
Synthesis, DNA affinity, and antiprotozoal activity of fused ring dicationic compounds and their prodrugs (Publications)
Dicationic guanidine, N-alkylguanidine, and reversed amidine derivatives of fused ring systems have been synthesized from their corresponding bis-amines. DNA binding studies suggest that the diguanidi
Characterization of di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide microsatellite markers with perfect repeats for<em> Trypanosoma brucei</em> and related species (Publications)
Trypanosoma brucei, unicellular parasites causing human sleeping sickness and animal nagana, have a great impact on the socio-economic environment of sub-Saharan Africa. The dynamics of the parasite a
