We searched the National Cancer Institute (NCI) compound library for structures related to the anti-tumor quinoline NSC3852 (5-nitroso-8-quinolinol) and used a computer algorithm to predict the anti-protozoan activity of each of 13 structures. Half of these compounds inhibited T. gondii tachyzoite propagation in human fibroblasts at
