their fast mode of action, smallmolecules are valuable tools to dissect the dynamic functions of kinesins during mitosis. In this study, we report the identification of optimized smallmoleculeinhibitors of the mitotic kinesin Kif18A. Using BTB-1, the first identified Kif18Ainhibitor, as a lead compound, we synthesized a collection of derivatives. We demonstrate that some of the synthesized derivatives
Trypanothionereductase (TR) is an essential enzyme of trypanosomatids and therefore a promising target for the development of new drugs against African sleeping sickness and Chagas' disease. Diaryl sulfides with a central anilino moiety, decorated with a flexible N-alkyl side chain bearing a terminal ammonium ion, are a known class of inhibitors. Using computer modelling, we revised the binding model
