The present invention relates to compounds useful for treating parasitic diseases, which are infectious diseases caused or transmitted by a parasite. Compounds of the invention are particularly active against the causative pathogens in malaria. Such compounds are selective inhibitors of parasitic histone deacetylase (PfHDAC) and suppress the growth of parasites, such as Plasmodium falciparum, at a lower concentration than the concentration required for the inhibition of the growth of mammalian cells.
本发明涉及用于治疗寄生虫病的化合物,这些疾病是由寄生虫引起或传播的传染病。本发明的化合物对疟疾病原体特别活跃。这些化合物是寄生虫组蛋白
