Isatin-1,2,3-triazole derivatives: Synthesis, molecular docking and evaluation against acute experimental toxoplasmosis.

Toxoplasmosis remains a challenge for both public health and animal husbandry which created a constant demand to develop novel compounds using innovative methods. To join this relentless quest for an ideal chemotherapeutic agent, herein, we developed newly synthesized isatin-1,2,3-triazole derivatives. Three compounds (5a, 5b and 5c) were synthesized, characterized, loaded on chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) and then evaluated accordingly.

Could metformin modulate the outcome of chronic murine toxoplasmosis?

Toxoplasmosis is a pervasive parasitic infection possessing a chief impact on both public health and veterinary medicine. Unfortunately, the commercially-available anti-Toxoplasma agents have either serious side effects or diminished efficiency, specifically on the Toxoplasma tissue cysts. In the present study, metformin (The first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus) was investigated for the first time against chronic cerebral toxoplasmosis in mice model experimentally-infected with ME49 strain versus spiramycin.

Therapeutic and antioxidant potential of bionanofactory Ochrobactrum sp.-mediated magnetite and zerovalent iron nanoparticles against acute experimental toxoplasmosis.

The control of toxoplasmosis, a rampant one health disease, has been focussed on conventional antitoxoplasmic agents with their adverse outcomes, including serious side effects, treatment failure and emergence of drug resistant strains. Nanobiotechnology may provide a strong impetus for versatile alternative therapies against toxoplasmosis. Bionanofactory Ochrobactrum sp.
