ABSTRACT Aromatic dicationic molecules possess impressive activity against a broad spectrum of microbial pathogens, including Pneumocystis carinii, Cryptosporidium parvum, and Candida albicans. In this work, 58 aromatic cations were examined for inhibitory activity against axenic amastigote-like Leishmania donovani parasites. In general, the most potent of the compounds were substituted diphenyl furan and thiophene dications. 2,5-Bis-(4-amidinophenyl)thiophene was the most active compound. This agent displayed a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.42 ± 0.08 μM against L. donovani and an in vitro antileishmanial potency 6.2-fold greater than that of the clinical antileishmanial dication pentamidine and was 155-fold more toxic to the parasites than to a mouse macrophage cell line. 2,4-Bis-(4-amidinopheny)furan was twice as active as pentamidine (IC50, 1.30 ± 0.21 μM), while 2,5-bis-(4-amidinopheny)furan and pentamidine were essentially equipotent in our in vitro antileishmanial assay. Carbazoles, dibenzofurans, dibenzothiophenes, and benzimidazoles containing amidine or substituted amidine groups were generally less active than the diphenyl furans and thiophenes. In all cases, aromatic dications possessing strong antileishmanial activity were severalfold more toxic to the parasites than to a cultured mouse macrophage cell line. These structure-activity relationships demonstrate the potent antileishmanial activity of several aromatic dications and provide valuable information for the future design and synthesis of more potent antiparasitic agents.

Abstract The SV40-immortalized mouse macrophage cell line, BAC1.2F5, is strictly dependent on CSF-1 for its survival and proliferation in culture. Introduction of a retroviral vector containing a 1.6 kilobase (kb) pair human CSF-1 cDNA into these cells abrogated their growth factor dependence but did not render the cells tumorigenic in nude mice. The infected macrophages contained multiple copies of the vector provirus, expressed both membrane-bound and secreted forms of CSF-1, and exhibited constitutive down modulation of the murine CSF-1 receptor. Because insertion of the v-fms gene has previously been shown to abrogate factor dependence and induce tumorigenicity in BAC1.2F5 macrophages, the failure of these cells to express a fully transformed phenotype after persistent stimulation by endogenous CSF-1 suggests that the v-fms and c-fms gene products provide different signals for cell proliferation.
