Thianthrene
Thianthrene is a potent and orally active inhibitor of Leishmania donovani pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) . Thianthrene is a sulfur-containing tricyclic molecule distributed widely within the macro-structure of hydrocarbon fossil fuels. Thianthrene inhibits the intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania donovani (IC50 = 23 μM) . Thianthrene has a moderate anthelmintic activity. Thianthrene appears to inhibit RNA function and subsequent protein production. Thianthrene can stimulate liver regeneration in vivo[1][2].
