Abstract:A B S T R A C TThe growth inhibitory effects of inosine analogs, allopurinol, thiopurinol, allopurinol riboside, formycin B, thioformycin B, 7-deazainosine, 9-deazainosine, 8-azainosine and thio-7-deazainosine were tested against promastigotes of Leishmania tropica, L.major and L.donovani. All ten analogs were active against all the three species. The efficacy and metabolism of the formycin B, allopurinol riboside, 7-deazainosine and 9-deazainosine in leishmanial species were evaluated. These analogs affect se… Show more
