Abstract

Chemistry, Medicinal Life Sciences & Biomedicine Pharmacology & Pharmacy Science & Technology
A major challenge in treating toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised patients is lack of therapeutic agents to clear chronic infection and stop the recrudescence of infection after therapy. CDKP1 has emerged as a novel target for treating chronic infections and eliminating latent bradyzoites in the brain. In a mouse model of toxoplasmosis, pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitors of Toxoplasma gondii CDPK1 demonstrated in vitro and in vivo efficacy.
