The imidazole antimycotic drugs, ketoconazole (Heeres etal. 1979), H 82 5338 and S 82 5183 (Raether and Dittmar, unpublished data) and the triazole-derivative ICI 153,066 (Ryley and Wilson 1982) are highly effective against topic and systemic fungal infections (dermatophytes, multiphasic fungi, yeasts) after oral administration in animals. Surprisingly, ketoconazole (KETO), which is already on the market, is remarkably effective against leishmania (Berman 1982; Urcuyo and Zaias 1982) and chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum (Pfaller and Krogstad 1981). It was therefore of interest to investigate KETO in comparison with corresponding standard drugs as well as against other pathogenic protozoa. We were able to confirm the pronounced action of the drug against Leishmania donovani in the golden hamster, and we also found a marked activity against Plasmodium berghei in the mouse as well as against Entamoeba histolytica in the extraintestinal amoebiasis model in the golden hamster (see Table 1). In contrast, KETO was inactive in mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii, Trypanosoma brucei or Tritrichomonas foetus and in chickens infected with Eimeria tenella (see Table 1). Because of the distinct efficacy of KETO against tissue forms of L. donovani, we assumed that antimycotic azoles would also have a systemic action on Trypanosoma cruzi. We therefore investigated KETO, H 82 5338, -(2 -1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-isoquinolin-6-yl)-ether, S 82 5183, 2-(imidazolyl-l-methyl)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl) 1,3 dioxolan 4 yl < 4-methoxy(morpholino-methylene-aniline), and ICI 153,066, 2-(1,2,4-triazol-l-yl)-l-(4-fluorophenyl)-l-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-ethanol, in comparison with standard drugs in mice infected with T. cruzi (for details concerning materials and methods see Raether and Seidenath 1983).
