Dicationic biphenyl benzimidazole derivatives as antiprotozoal agents (Publications)
A series of biphenyl benzimidazoles diamidines 6a-i were synthesized from their respective diamidoximes, through the bis-O-acetoxyamidoxime followed by hydrogenation in glacial acetic acid/ethanol in
Synthesis and antiparasitic evaluation of bis-2,5-[4-guanidinophenyl]thiophenes (Publications)
A series of bis-2,5-[4-guanidinophenyl]thiophenes were prepared in a five step process starting from 2,5-bis[trimethylstannyl]thiophene. The compounds were evaluated in vitro against Trypanosoma bruce
Dicationic DNA-targeted antiprotozoal agents: naphthalene replacement of benzimidazole (Publications)
A series of naphthalene analogues of highly active benzimidazole diamidines were synthesized using sequential Stille and Suzuki coupling reactions for preparation of the bis-nitrile intermediates. All
Diphenyl furans and aza analogs: effects of structural modification on in vitro activity, DNA binding, and accumulation and distribution in... (Publications)
Human African trypanosomiasis is a devastating disease with only a few treatment options, including pentamidine. Diamidine compounds such as pentamidine, DB75, and DB820 are potent antitrypanosomal co
Prophylaxie pré- et post-expositionnelle: qui et comment vacciner? (Publications)
Switzerland is rabies free since 1996 (except bats). However sporadic cases in animals (imported dogs and local bats essentially) may occur from time to time. The disease is always fatal, which implie
