The unique features of purine salvage systems of pathogenic haemoflagellates render them selectively susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of purine analogues. A series of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates were evaluated for activity against pathogenic haemoflagellates in vitro. One of the phosphonylmethoxyalkylpurines
