Evaluation of two inhibitors of invasion: LY311727 [3-(3-acetamide-1-benzyl-2-ethyl-indolyl-5-oxy)propane phosphonic acid] and AEBSF [4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzenesulphonyl fluoride] in acute murine toxoplasmosis

We examined the effect of an inhibitor of secretory phospholipase A2 type II (LY311727) and of a specific inhibitor of serine proteases (AEBSF) in a murine model of acute toxoplasmosis. LY311727 did not afford any significant protection and produced earlier mortality compared with untreated mice at a dose of 100 mg/kg. In contrast, AEBSF demonstrated a significant increase in length of survival, and this effect was enhanced when AEBSF was administered with non-protective doses of pyrimethamine.
