Aromatic diamidines (ADs) have been recognized as promising antiparasitic agents. Therefore, in the present work, the in vitro trypanocidal effect of 11 ADs upon the relevant clinical forms of Trypanosoma cruzi was evaluated, as well as determining their toxicity to mammalian cells and their subcellular localization.
