The present invention is to provide a medicinal composition for preventing or treating parasitic protozoan infections, having a high selective toxicity against parasitic protozoan infection, and a superior preventive or treating effect. A medicinal composition for preventing or treating parasitic protozoan infections comprises a compound shown by the following general formula (1) as an active ingredient
(wherein R represents an alkyl group, aryl group or heterocyclic group; A and B each independently represents a 5- or 6-membered ring containing at least one hetero atom, or a condensation ring wherein 1 or more 3- to 8-membered ring is condensed thereto; Y represents S, 0, Se, or -NR1-(R1 represents an alkyl group, aryl group or heterocyclic group); L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 each independently represents a methine group; Q represents a physiologically acceptable anion; k represents an integer of 0 to 2, necessary to make the electric charge of the whole molecule 0; p and q each represents an integer of 0 to 3, wherein the sum of p and q is 1 or more, and 6 or less.)
本发明旨在提供一种用于预防或治疗寄生性原虫感染的药物组合物,该组合物对寄生性原虫感染具有较高的选择性毒性,并具有优异的预防或治疗效果。一种用于预防或治疗寄生性原生动物感染的药物组合物由以下通式(1)所示的化合物作为活性成分组成
(其中 R 代表烷基、芳基或杂环基团;A 和 B 各自独立地代表含有至少一个杂原子的 5 或 6 元环,或其上缩合有一个或多个 3 至 8 元环的缩合环;Y 代表 S、0、Se 或 -NR1-(R1 代表烷基、芳基或杂环基团);L1、
L2、L3、L4 和 L5 各自独立地代表一个甲基; Q 代表生理上可接受的阴离子; k 代表 0 至 2 的整数,是使整个分子的电荷为 0 所必需的; p 和 q 各自代表 0 至 3 的整数,其中 p 和 q 的和为 1 或以上,6 或以下。)
