Effect of urea and squaramide IMPDH inhibitors on C. parvum: in vitro trial design impacts the assessment of drug efficacy by Anne-Charlotte Lenière, Amit Upadhyay, Jérôme Follet, Timothy P. O'Sullivan

“…Subsequent time-course experiments revealed that the molecules effectively inhibit parasite invasion and early intracellular development but failed to tackle C. parvum growth when introduced at 30 h post infection. The present work introduces a new family of squaramide-derived IMPDH inhibitors and also interrogates the need to standardise commonly accepted protocols used for assessing anti-cryptosporidial drug activity.…”
