The anti-leishmanial activity of 4 imidazoles was determined in L. tropica-infected human monocyte-derived macrophage cultures. One of the imidazoles, hydrolyzed ketoconazole [cis-1-{4-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxyphenyl}piperazine], eliminated 80 and 95% of the parasites at drug concentrations (2.0 and 2.5 .mu.g/ml) achievable in vivo by a structurally similar compound, ketoconazole. An imidazole evidently has anti-leishmanial activity in a model system and hydrolyzed ketoconazole should be considered for in vivo trials in animal models of the disease.
