A number of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives were selected and investigated in relation to anti-parasitic (Trichomonas vaginalis) activity. After treatment with derivatives, biological activity was assessed by determination of the in vitro viability of cell cultures, using alamar blue as a metabolic indicator. A good correlation was found between the anti-parasitic activity and the partition coefficient log P determined experimentally on the tested compounds, which explained up to 84% of the measured activity. A favorable interval (0.9 +/- A 0.3 log P) was found for optimum biological response.
