Abstract

Several congocidine analogs were synthesized and tested for in vivo activity against Trypanosoma congolense and in vitro activity against amastigotes of Leishmania tropica. The tripyrrole derivative, β‐{[N‐methyl‐4‐[N‐methyl‐4‐(guanidinoacetamido)pyrrole ‐2‐carboxa‐mido]pyrrole‐2‐carboxamido]pyrrole‐2‐carboxamidoibutyroamidine dihydrochloride, was less toxic and more active than congocidine. The guanidinoacetyl moiety appears to be a structural requirement for antiparasitic activity in the congocidine series.
