Abstract
The potential use of polyisobutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles in antiparasitic chemotherapy is described. The nanoparticles on their own proved to have trypanocidal activity against Trypanosoma brucei brucei in-vitro but not against Trichomonas vaginalis or Entamoeba histolytica. The trypanocidal activity was partly confirmed in-vivo with T. brucei-infected mice.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
