Pfefferkorn E, Bzik D, Honsinger C
Exp Parasitol . 2002 Mar; 99(4):235-43. PMID: 11888251
In contrast to the cytocidal effect of 6-thiopurines on mammalian cells, the action of 6-thioxanthine on Toxoplasma gondii was only parasitostatic. 6-Thioxanthine was a substrate of the parasite's hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase....

J Med Chem . 1996 Mar; 39(6):1271-80. PMID: 8632434
2,4-Diaminopteridines (21 compounds) and 2,4-diamino-5-methyl-5-deazapteridines (34 compounds) along with three 2,4-diamino-5-unsubstituted-5-deazapteridines and four 2,4-diaminoquinazolines, each with an aryl groups attached to the 6-position of the heterocyclic moiety through a two-atom...

Pfefferkorn E, Borotz S
Exp Parasitol . 1994 Nov; 79(3):374-82. PMID: 7957757
6-Thioxanthine caused 50% inhibition of the growth of Toxoplasma gondii in human fibroblasts at a concentration of 5 micrograms/ml. A mutant induced by treatment with ethylnitrosourea (ThxR-1) was 20-fold more...

Gupta S, Carlin J, Pyati P, Dai W, Pfefferkorn E, Murphy Jr M
Infect Immun . 1994 Jun; 62(6):2277-84. PMID: 8188349
Studies were carried out to evaluate the proposed role of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (INDO) induction in the antimicrobial and antiproliferative effects of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) in human fibroblasts. The INDO cDNA...

Pfefferkorn E, Borotz S
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 1994 Jan; 38(1):31-7. PMID: 8141576
Azithromycin and spiramycin markedly inhibited the growth of Toxoplasma gondii in cultured human fibroblasts. However, 3 days of treatment were required to reveal their full antitoxoplasma activity. This delayed onset...

Ricketts A, Pfefferkorn E
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 1993 Nov; 37(11):2358-63. PMID: 8285619
Anticoccidial drugs were evaluated for activity and for the development of resistance in a model of Toxoplasma gondii growing in human fibroblast cultures. Of 13 anticoccidial drugs tested, 9 had...

Sibley L, Pfefferkorn E, Boothroyd J
Parasitol Today . 1993 Oct; 9(10):392-5. PMID: 15463677
The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii has recently emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen in humans. Toxoplasma also shares a number of biological features with Plasmodium and Eimeria, which are important...

Pfefferkorn E, Borotz S, Nothnagel R
J Parasitol . 1993 Aug; 79(4):559-64. PMID: 8331476
Mutants of Toxoplasma gondii resistant to drugs that appear to affect the mitochondrial bc1 complex were isolated with the aid of mutagenesis with ethylnitrosourea. Mutant DeqR-1 was > 1,000-fold more...

Genetics . 1992 Dec; 132(4):1003-15. PMID: 1360931
We have constructed a genetic linkage map for the parasitic protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii, using randomly selected low copy number DNA markers that define restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). The inheritance...
