Pentamidine

Pentamidine isethionate is an aromatic, diamidine-derivative antiprotozoal agent. It is structurally and pharmacologically similar to stilbamidine. The presence of a benzenecarboximidamide (aromatic amidine, benzamidine) group is associated with pentamidine's trypanosomicidal activity, and the presence of both benzenecarboximidamide groups is necessary for this activity.
