Benzoxaboroles: A New Potential Drug for African Sleeping Sickness
By SCYNEXIS Inc.
Human African trypanosomiasis, caused by the kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma brucei, affects thousands of
people across sub-Saharan Africa, and is fatal if left untreated. Treatment options for this disease, particularly
stage 2 disease, which occurs after parasites have infected brain tissue, are limited due to inadequate efficacy,
toxicity, and the complexity of treatment regimens.
