Synthesis and in vitro and in vivo pharmacological evaluation of new 4-aminoquinoline-based compounds.

abstract：:Current treatment of toxoplasmosis targets the parasite's folate metabolism through inhibition of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). The most widely used DHFR antagonist, pyrimethamine, was introduced over 60 years ago and is associated with toxicity that can be largely attributed to a similar affinity for parasite and h...
