Description

Application

• Easy one-pot synthesis of multifunctionalized indole-pyrrole hybrids as a new class of antileishmanial agents.: This study underlines the necessity for innovative treatments amidst growing resistance to established drugs such as miltefosine which is used as a positive control reference, potentially setting a new direction for antileishmanial drug development (Ciccone et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibitor of protein kinase C and of phosphatidylcholine synthesis. Used for the treatment of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis. Active against metronidazole-resistant and -susceptible strains of Trichomonas vaginalis
