1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Seven novel diamidino 2,5-bis(aryl)thiazoles (5a-g) were synthesized and evaluated against Trypanosoma brucei rhodensiense (T. b. r.) and Plasmodium falciparum (P. f.). The diamidines were obtained directly from the corresponding bis-nitriles (4a-g) by the action of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide. The bis-nitriles 4a-f were synthesized in four steps starting with the Stille coupling of 2-tributyltinthiazole with the appropriate cyanoaryl halide. The bis-nitrile 5g was obtained by the palladium facilitated coupling of the mixed tin-silyl reagent 2-trimethylsilyl-5-trimethyltinthiazole with 2-bromo-5-cyanopyridine. The amidoxime potential prodrugs 6a-e, 6g were obtained by the reaction of hydroxylamine with the bis-nitriles. O-Methylation of the amidoximes gave the corresponding N-methoxyamidines 7a-c, 7e, 7g. The diamidines showed strong DNA binding affinity as reflected by DeltaT(m) measurements. Four of the diamidines 5a, 5b, 5d and 5e were highly active in vitro against P. f. giving IC(50) values between 1.1 and 2.5nM. The same four diamidines showed IC(50) values between 4 and 6nM against T. b. r. The selectivity indices ranged from 233 to 9175. One diamidine 5a produced one of four cures at an ip dose of 4x5mg/kg in the STIB900 mouse model for acute African trypanosomiasis. The amidoxime and N-methoxyamidine of 5a were the only produgs to provide cures (1/4 cures) in the same mouse model on oral dosage at 4x25mg/kg.
