Article Synopsis
- Researchers synthesized eighteen new compounds called 2-trifluoromethylcinnamanilides and studied their effects against Mycobacterium smegmatis and Plasmodium falciparum, with promising results for certain substituted variants.
- The most effective compounds against M. smegmatis were those with specific trifluoromethyl substitutions, while several anilides also showed strong activity against P. falciparum, with some comparable to chloroquine.
- Initial cytotoxicity tests revealed that some compounds had toxic effects, but others did not, and further studies indicated that two compounds were stable and did not interfere with liver metabolism, enhancing their potential as dual-action antimicrobials.
