<p>The present invention provides methods for treating Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium parvum in a subject in need of such treatment. The methods comprise administering to the subject a compound of formula (I), wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H, loweralkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, aminoalkyl, aminoaryl, halogen, oxyalkyl, oxyaryl, or oxyarylalkyl; R3 and R4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H, loweralkyl, oxyalkyl, alkylaryl, aryl, oxyaryl, aminoalkyl, aminoaryl, or halogen; and X and Y are located in the para or meta positions and are selected from the group consisting of H, loweralkyl, oxyalkyl, and (a) wherein each R5 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, loweralkyl, alkoxyalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl or two R5 groups together represent C2-C10 alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or alkylene; and R6 is H, hydroxy, loweralkyl, alkoxyalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylamino, alkylaminoalkyl, cycloalkyl, hydroxycycloalkyl, alkoxycycloalkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compounds are administered in an amount effective to treat the condition. The present invention also includes novel compounds useful in the treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium parvum.</p> |
