Abstract
The invention provides novel diamino-functionalized chalcone derivatives and analogues thereof. Use of the compounds, or compositions comprising them, as pharmaceutically active agents, in particular against bacterial and parasitic infections, is also disclosed. The invention further relates to a method for detecting inhibitory effects against e.g., bacteria, parasites, fungi, and helminths. The chalcones of the invention carry amino substituents and exhibit enhanced biological effects combined with improved metabolic and physicochemical properties, making the compounds useful as drug substances, in particular as antiparasitic and bacteriostatic agents.
