Antiparasitic agent-26
Antiparasitic agent-26 (Compound 8) is an antiparasitic compound that potently inhibits the growth of Naegleria fowleri, with IC50 values of 22.87 μM (trophozoite stage) and 25.16 μM (cyst stage) . Antiparasitic agent-26 exerts its antiparasitic activity by inducing programmed cell death, including cytoplasmic calcium accumulation, mitochondrial membrane potential collapse, ATP synthesis inhibition, ROS accumulation, and chromatin condensation. Antiparasitic agent-26 can be used in the research of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) [1].
