Article Title: Identification of Coumarin-Chalcone and Coumarin-Pyrazoline Derivatives as Novel Anti- Toxoplasma gondii Agents
doi: 10.2147/DDDT.S495089
Figure Lengend Snippet: Anti- T. gondii activity of the coumarin-6-sulfonamide bearing chalcone derivatives (5a-i) and N -acetyl pyrazolines (6a-i). IC 50 values with SEM are shown on the left y-axis, representing the concentration of the sample to cause inhibition of T. gondii growth by 50%. Values were based on the non-linear regression analysis. The right, y-axis (red dots above bars) represents the selectivity index SI, a measure of efficacy calculated by CC 30 Hs27/IC 50 Tg. Reference drugs: Pyr: pyrimethamine; Tri: trimethoprim; Sulf: sulfadiazine.
Article Snippet: The Hs27 human fibroblasts (Hs27, CRL-1634, ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), used as host cells for T. gondii , were maintained in high glucose DMEM (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), 100 I.U./mL penicillin and 100 mg/mL streptomycin (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany).
Techniques: Activity Assay, Concentration Assay, Inhibition
