Disclosed are methods, compounds, and compositions for treating infection by an Apicomplexan parasite that include administering a compound that selectively inactivates ornithine aminotransferase of the Apicomplexan parasite. Specifically, the methods, compounds, compounds may be utilized for treating infection by Toxoplasma gondii and toxoplasmosis and for treating infection by Plasmodium falciparum and malaria. The compounds disclosed herein are observed to selectively inactivate Toxoplasma gondii ornithine aminotransferase (TgOAT) relative to human OAT and relative to human γ-aminobutyric aminotransferase (GABA-AT).
本发明公开了治疗弓形虫感染的方法、化合物和组合物,其中包括施用选择性灭活弓形虫鸟氨酸氨基转移酶的化合物。具体来说,这些方法、化合物可用于治疗弓形虫感染和弓形虫病,以及恶性疟原虫感染和疟疾。据观察,相对于人类鸟氨酸氨基转移酶(OAT)和人类γ-氨基丁酸氨基转移酶(GABA-AT),本文公开的化合物可选择性地灭活弓形虫鸟氨酸氨基转移酶(TgOAT)。
