title: Antiparasitic nitroimidazoles. 8. Derivatives of 2-(4-formylstyryl)-5-nitro-1-vinylimidazole.
abstract: A series of 33 thioacetals and hydrazones of 2-(4-formylstyryl)-5-nitro-1-vinylimidazole was prepared and examined for antitrypanosomal properties. The thioacetals were inactive as antitrypanosomal agents but three hydrazones derived from N-aminoguanidine, pyridylacethohydrazide chloride (Girard reagent P), and dimethylaminoacetohydrazide (Girard reagent D) displayed good activity against Trypanosoma rhodesiense.
