title: Antiprotozoal activities of new bis-chlorophenyl derivatives of bicyclic octanes and aza-nonanes.
abstract: The in vitro activity of newly synthesized bis-(chlorophenyl)-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes and bis-(chlorophenyl)-bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes against Plasmodium falciparum K(1) (resistant to chloroquine and pyrimethamine) and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense was investigated. Especially the bis-(chlorophenyl)-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes exhibit promising antitrypanosomal activity and were tested in vivo against Trypanosoma brucei brucei featuring moderate activities.
