Bicyclic azetidines target acute and chronic stages of Toxoplasma gondii by inhibiting parasite phenylalanyl t-RNA synthetase
Current treatments for toxoplasmosis are limited by adverse reactions and inability to cure chronic infections dominated by semi-dormant cyst forms. Here the authors demonstrate the potential of small molecule inhibitors of PheRS for controlling acute and chronic toxoplasmosis.
