A library of acylhydrazone iron chelators was synthesized and tested for its ability to inhibit the growth of a chloroquine-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Some of these new compounds are significantly more active than desferrioxamine DFO, the iron chelator in widespread clinical use and also than the most effective chelators. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

A class of modified salicylaldehyde derivatives has also been synthesized and a series of modified pyridine-based hydrazones identified that have potent antimicrobial activity against multiple
Candida
spp. These compounds have been characterized using fungal growth inhibition assays, mammalian cell toxicity assays, time-kill assays and synergy studies of these novel pyridine-based hydrazones on both azole-susceptible and azole-resistant fungal species. Effectiveness of these compounds in inhibiting the growth of protozoal parasites was also found.
