Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for treating retroviral infection and methods of treating HIV infection. The methods of the present invention include administering compounds of the general Formula I: ##STR1## wherein L, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 are defined herein.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of fluorescent detection of a nucleic acid. The method comprises contacting to the nucleic acid a bis-dicationic aryl furan compound, such as 2,5-bis�4-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-1,3-diazepin-2-yl) phenyl! furan; 2,5-bis{�4-(N-isopropyl) amidino! phenyl}furan; and physiologically acceptable salts thereof, and exposing the nucleic acid to light at a frequency to induce fluorescence of the compound. A method for fluorescent detection of cytoskeleton elements, and novel bis-dicationic aryl furan compounds are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of combating Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia in a subject in need of such treatment. The method comprises administering to to the subject an effective Pneumocystis carinii-combating amount of a bis-benzimidazole compound such as bis[5-(2-imidazolyl)-2-benzimidazolyl]methane, 1,4-bis[5-2-imidazolyl)-2-benzimidazolyl]butane, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Pharmaceutical formulations for carrying out the method and novel compounds are also disclosed, along with methods of combating Giardia lamblia.
Abstract:
Novel dicationic terphenyl compounds and their aza analogues. Methods for combating microbial infections with novel dicationic terphenyl compounds and their aza analogues. Processes for synthesizing novel dicationic terphenyl compounds and their aza analogues.
Abstract:
Novel dicationic 2,5-diaryl selenophene compounds are described. Also described are novel aza analogues of dicationic 2,5-diaryl thiophenes. The presently disclosed dicationic compounds exhibit in vitro activity versus Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Plasmodium falciparum, and/or Leishmania donovani comparable to that of pentamidine and furamidine. Some of the novel dicationic compounds display good activity in vivo in a murine model of a Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection.
Abstract:
Novel fused ring dicationic anti-protozoan compounds. Representative protozoan species include but are not limited to Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (T.b.r.) and Plasmodium falciparum. Prodrugs of these compounds can be used as an oral treatment for malaria and human African trypanosomiasis.
