Dicationic compounds for the treatment of
T. vaginalis
infections are described. The presently described compounds exhibit in vitro activity against metronidazole-sensitive and -resistant
T. vaginalis
isolates. Furthermore, the presently described compounds demonstrate IC
50
concentrations that were not elevated in the metronidazole resistant isolate, suggesting that their activity is not affected by parasite mechanisms that confer resistance to 5-nitroimidizoles.
本文描述了用于治疗T. vaginalis感染的二价化合物。目前描述的化合物在体外对
甲硝唑敏感和耐药的T. vaginalis分离株具有活性。此外,目前描述的化合物表现出的IC50浓度在
甲硝唑耐药分离株中没有升高,表明它们的活性不受寄生虫机制的影响,这些机制使其对5-硝基
咪唑类药物产生耐药性。
