New formyl indole derivatives based on thiobarbituric acid were designed for targeting parasitological applications. The new compounds (5-((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-2-thioxodihydropyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (3a), and 5-((1-benzyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-2-thioxodihydropyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (3b) were synthesized as thioxodihydropyrimidine derivatives via aldol condensation reaction. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed based on their spectral data via FT-IR, H and C NMR spectral characterization.

The hydrazones -, were synthesized from the reaction of indole-3-carbaldehyde and nicotinic acid hydrazide, isonicotinic acid hydrazide, and benzoic acid hydrazide, respectively. Their structures were confirmed using FTIR, HNMR, and CNMR spectroscopic techniques. Exclusively, hydrazones and were confirmed using single crystal X-ray crystallography to exist in the form.

Background: Fecal calprotectin (FC) and fecal occult blood (FOB) were suggested as potential inflammatory markers for assessing intestinal schistosomiasis morbidity that are conventionally detected through invasive methods.

Aim And Objectives: The present work aimed to evaluate FC and FOB as morbidity markers of infection before and after praziquantel treatment.

Materials And Methods: A total of 205 stool samples (117 schoolchildren and 88 adults) were collected and examined by Kato Katz.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers created new bis-pyridinium ionic liquids by modifying a specific compound and then changing their chemical properties to test their effects on parasites.
  • These new compounds were thoroughly analyzed using various NMR techniques, and one compound (compound 5) showed superior antiparasitic activity compared to others tested.
  • Compound 5 proved to be as effective as the existing drug pyrimethamine in reducing parasites and showed better results in preserving liver, spleen, and brain tissues, suggesting it may be a promising alternative with fewer side effects.

Immunity to malaria has a major role in controlling disease and pathogenesis with cytokine production being involved in almost every phase of the immune response. The present study aimed to assess hematological variables and to measure plasma levels of TNFα, IFNγ and IL10, their ratios, and their relation to parasitemia among patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Hodeidah, Yemen. Forty patients with uncomplicated P.

Nitrogen-containing atoms in their core structures have been exclusive building blocks in drug discovery and development. One of the most significant and well-known heterocycles is the 1,3,4-thidiazole nucleus, which is found in a wide range of natural products and therapeutic agents. In the present work, certain -1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (, ) were synthesized through a multi-step synthesis approach.

This study aimed to evaluate schistosomiasis positive school children as indicators of infection in their families. Four hundred and sixteen stool samples of children from two primary schools were examined microscopically for () after Kato-Katz. Equal numbers from families of schistosomiasis positive and negative school children were examined by Kato-Katz.

Background: Microsporidia infection was originally described as an immunocompromised associated pathogen. Limitations to correct microscopic diagnosis of microsporidia include size of the organism presenting a challenge even to a highly competent laboratory expert.

Objective: The present study aimed to detect microsporidia infection among leukemic children.
