Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Neglected tropical diseases such as Chagas disease, human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and schistosomiasis have a significant global health impact in predominantly developing countries, although these diseases are spreading due to increased international travel and population migration. Drug repurposing with a focus on increasing antiparasitic potency and drug-like properties is a cost-effective and efficient route to the development of new therapies. Here we identify compounds that have potent activity against Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania donovani, and the latter were progressed into the murine model of infection. Despite the potent in vitro activity, there was no effect on parasitemia, necessitating further work to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of this series. Nonetheless, valuable insights have been obtained into the structure–activity and structure–property relationships of this compound series.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
