New drugs are needed for treatment of Toxoplasma gondii infections. We tested derivatives of principles found in Isatis indigotica for in vitro efficacy against T. gondii. Indirubin-3'-oxime analogs showed modest micromolar activity, while tryptanthrin derivatives displayed ID50s in low nanomolar range. Tryptanthrins have potential as anti-Toxoplasma therapeutics.
