摘要: Summary A series of 2,7- and 3,6-bis cationic carbazoles was synthesized evaluated for activity against a rat model Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). The compounds were also tested inhibition topoisomerase II binding to DNA. Several the proved be more potent less toxic than standard anti-PCP drug (pentamidine). While no quantitative correlation seen between activity, DNA binding, minimal level found necessary antimicrobial activity.
