19. Very recently, an interesting paper has been published in which the authors report a cure on experimental Chagas' disease employing a bis-triazole derivative as the chemotherapeutic agent. The sterol biosynthetic pathway is also the target for this drug; see: Urbina, J. A.; Payares, G.; Molina, J.; Sanoja, C.; Liendo, A.; Lazardi, K.; Piras, M.
