Antischistosomal structure-activity relationships of nitrated n-phenyl benzamide derivatives.
… activity by nitrating the core-scaffold of the front-runner compound, MK1-11.The analogs of this compound were thus synthesized and tested in vitro on Schistosoma mansoni juvenile worms. The successfully synthesized analogs were confirmed by HPLC-MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopic techniques. …
