Abstract
The first synthesis and biological evaluation of antibiotic 31 (A-33853) and its analogues are reported. Initial screening for inhibition of L. donovani, T. b. rhodesiense, T. cruzi, and P. falciparum cultures followed by determination of IC(50) in L. donovani and cytotoxicity on L6 cells revealed 31 to be 3-fold more active than miltefosine, a known antileishmanial drug. Compounds 14, 15, and 25 selectively inhibited L. donovani at nanomolar concentrations and showed much lower cytotoxicity.Entities:
