Novel dicationic bichalcophene compounds are described. The presently disclosed novel dicationic bichalcophene compounds exhibit in vitro activity versus
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Plasmodium falciparum
, or
Leishmania donovani
comparable to that of pentamidine and furamidine. Some of the novel dicationic bichalcophene compounds displayed good activity in vivo in a murine model of a
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense
infection.
