pentamidine and Neglected Diseases

pentamidine has been researched along with Neglected Diseases in 8 studies

Pentamidine: Antiprotozoal agent effective in trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and some fungal infections; used in treatment of PNEUMOCYSTIS pneumonia in HIV-infected patients. It may cause diabetes mellitus, central nervous system damage, and other toxic effects.
pentamidine : A diether consisting of pentane-1,5-diol in which both hydroxyl hydrogens have been replaced by 4-amidinophenyl groups. A trypanocidal drug that is used for treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis and Chagas disease.

Neglected Diseases: Diseases that are underfunded and have low name recognition but are major burdens in less developed countries. The World Health Organization has designated six tropical infectious diseases as being neglected in industrialized countries that are endemic in many developing countries (HELMINTHIASIS; LEPROSY; LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS; ONCHOCERCIASIS; SCHISTOSOMIASIS; and TRACHOMA).

" Treatment is stage-specific, due to the blood-brain barrier, with less toxic drugs such as pentamidine used to treat stage 1."1.62Drug reformulation for a neglected disease. The NANOHAT project to develop a safer more effective sleeping sickness drug. ( Brown, RC; Burrell-Saward, H; Christie, M; Croft, SL; da Silva, M; Dailey, LA; Dreiss, CA; Fidanboylu, M; Liu, B; Lorenz, C; Persaud, SJ; Sanderson, L; Sekhar, GN; Thomas, SA; Valero, M; Yardley, V, 2021)
"Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, sleeping sickness) ranks among the most neglected tropical diseases based on limited availability of drugs that are safe and efficacious, particularly against the second stage (central nervous system [CNS]) of infection."1.42Chemotherapy of second stage human African trypanosomiasis: comparison between the parenteral diamidine DB829 and its oral prodrug DB868 in vervet monkeys. ( Boykin, DW; Bridges, AS; Brun, R; Ching, S; Gem, CO; Jones, SK; Liu, Q; Murilla, GA; Mutuku, JN; Paine, MF; Thuita, JK; Tidwell, RR; Wang, MZ; Wolf, KK, 2015)
" Our compound optimization that has led to synthesis of several potent 4-anilinoquinazolines, including NEU617, 23a, a highly potent, orally bioavailable inhibitor of trypanosome replication."1.39Kinase scaffold repurposing for neglected disease drug discovery: discovery of an efficacious, lapatinib-derived lead compound for trypanosomiasis.
