of many parasite protozoa, such as Trypanosoma and Leishmania species, thus representing a valuable drug target for the treatment of Kinetoplastid diseases. A set of azole-based compounds selected from an in-house compound library was in vitro screened against different human protozoan parasites. Several compounds showed selective activity against Trypanosoma cruzi, with compound 7 being the most active
甾醇14α-脱甲基酶(CYP51)是一种参与许多寄生虫原生动物(如锥虫和利什曼原虫)的存活和致病性的关键酶,因此代表了治疗运动质体疾病的重要药物靶标。从内部化合物库中选出的一组基于唑的化合物在体外针对不同的人类原生动物寄生虫进行了筛选。几种化合物显示出对克氏锥虫的选择性活性,其中化合物7的活性最高(IC 50 = 40 nM)。考虑到此处报道的化合物与已知的CYP51抑制剂之间的结构相似性,进行了分子对接研究,以评估其与原生动物靶标的结合并合理化生物学活性数据。
