Toxoplasma gondii is a unicellular parasite that causes severe brain and eye disease. Current drugs for T. gondii are limited by toxicity. Bumped kinase inhibitors (BKIs) selectively inhibit calcium-dependent protein kinases of the apicomplexan pathogens T. gondii, cryptosporidia, and plasmodia. A lead anti-Toxoplasma BKI, 1294, has been developed to be metabolically stable and orally bioavailable. Herein, we demonstrate the oral efficacy of 1294 against toxoplasmosis in vivo.
刚地弓形虫是一种单细胞寄生虫,可引发严重的脑部和眼部疾病。目前用于治疗刚地弓形虫的药物存在毒性限制。碰撞激酶抑制剂(BKIs)可选择性抑制顶复门病原体刚地弓形虫、隐孢子虫和疟原虫的钙依赖性蛋白激酶。一种先导抗弓形虫BKIs,即1294,已被开发出来,具有代谢稳定性和口服生物利用度。在此,我们展示了1294在体内抗弓形虫病的口服疗效。
