Pentamidine dihydrochloride (MP-601205 dihydrochloride) is an aromatic diamidine agent effective against various microorganisms, including protozoa (Trypanosoma brucei, Leishmania spp., and Babesia spp.) and fungi (Pneumocystis jirovecii). It is a potent and selective inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases and phosphatase of regenerating liver. Pentamidine dihydrochloride inhibits the parasite Leishmania infantum with an IC50 of 2.5 μM.

Sulfapyridine (2-Sulfapyridine) is a short-acting sulfonamide antibiotic and by-product of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug sulfasalazine.

Pentamidine isethionate (Pentamidine diisethionate) is a synthetic amidine derivative, Pentamidine Isethionate is an antiprotozoal and antifungal agent.

Pentamidine is an antifungal and antiprotozoal agent, interacting directly with the pathogen genome by binding to AT-rich regions of duplex DNA and the minor groove of DNA, thereby interfering with DNA replication.

Pneumocysterol is a sterol detected in the opportunistic pathogen Pneumocystis carinii hominis.

FR901379 is an echinocandin-like antifungal lipopeptide.1 It is active against C. albicans, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. utilis, A. fumigatus, and A. niger fungi (IC50s = <0.003-1.9 μg/ml). FR901379 is protective against C. albicans infection in mice (ED50 = 1.1 mg/kg). It also reduces the number of pulmonary cysts and trophozoites in a mouse model of P. carinii infection. |1.
