OBJECTIVES To measure the metabolism and toxicity of 7-chloro-4-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione (BNZ-1) and 4-cyclohexylmethyl-1-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione (BNZ-2), two new benzodiazepine analogues found to be effective against Leishmania amastigotes in vitro. METHODS The metabolism of BNZ-1 and -2 was investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes and rat liver microsomes. The toxicity of the compounds was assessed in a murine… Expand
