    • Butamidine analogues possessing unsaturation in the ether bridge between the bisamidinophenyl or bisimidazolinophenyl functionalities have been synthesized as semirigid congeners of pentamidine. These compounds demonstrated good anti-P. carinii pueumonia activity in a rat model of the disease.
