Abstract: This invention concerns the use of mefloquine in relation to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This invention also concerns the combination of mefloquine with drugs used in first and second choice treatment of tuberculosis, achieving a reduction in the treatment period of tuberculosis (TB) and the treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).

Abstract: The present invention relates to diphenyloxyalkylamine derivatives and aryloxyalkylamine derivatives that are structurally analogous to mexiletine, said derivatives having important biological activity and not causing the undesired side effects observed with the prototype, as well as with other drugs from the same therapeutic class as the prototype. The derivatives of the present invention have formulas II and III and are used for treating, preventing or inhibiting pulmonary inflammatory diseases, for example, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Abstract: The present invention refers to new compounds represented by the general formula (I) where X is represented by the general formula (II) and Y is represented by the general formula (III). The relation X to Y may vary from 1:1 to 1:7. The radicals R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 in formula (II) are represented by: R1=H, CF3, CH3, OCH3, NH2, halogen; R2=H, CH3, NH2, halogen, NH—CHCH3(CH2)3N(C2H5)(CH2CH2OH), CH(OH)-2(C5H11N), NH—R7—N—(C2H5)2; R3=H, m-OC6H4CF3, NH2; R4=H, CH3, OCH3, NH2, halogen; R5=H, CH3, CF3, NH2, halogen; R6=H, CF3, CH3, NH2, halogen, NH—R8—N—(C2H5)2, NHCH(CH3)(CH2)3NH2; R7=(CH2)2, (CH2)3, CHCH3CH2, (CH2)4, (CH2)5, CHCH3(CH2)3, (CH2)6, (CH2)8, (CH2)10, (CH2)12; R8=CHCH3(CH2)3, CHCH3(CH2)CHCH3, (CH2)2, (CH2)3, (CH2)6, (CH2)3O(CH2)3. This invention also refers to a process of preparation of these compounds (formula I), and antiparasitic pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

Abstract: The present invention refers to new compounds derived from artesunate salts with quinolines represented by the general formula (I) where X is represented by the general formula (II) and Y is represented by the general formula (III) depending on the radicals substituted in X (formula II), the relation X to Y (formula III) may vary from 1:1 to 1:7, because the amount of Y depends on the amount of N available in X for the formation of the salt. The radicals R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, e R6 in the general formula (II) are represented by: R1?H, CF3, CH3, OCH3, NH2, halogen; R2?H, CH3, NH2, halogen, NH—CHCH3(CH2)3N(C2H5)(CH2CH2OH), CH(OH)-2(C5H11N), NH—R7—N—(C2H5)2; R3?H, m-OC6H4CF3, NH2; R4?H, CH3, OCH3, NH2, halogen; R5?H, CH3, CF3, NH2, halogen; R6?H, CF3, CH3, NH2, halogen, NH—R8—N—(C2H5)2, NHCH(CH3)(CH2)3NH2; R7?(CH2)2, (CH2)3, CHCH3CH2, (CH2)4, (CH2)5, CHCH3(CH2)3(CH2)6, (CH2)8, (CH2)10, (CH2)12; R8?CHCH3(CH2)3, CHCH3(CH2)CHCH3, (CH2)2, (CH2)3, (CH2)6, (CH2)3O(CH2)3.
