73 nm, which is fully selective against human glutathione reductase (hGR). The best ligands exhibited in vitro IC50 values (half-maximal inhibitory concentration) against the HAT pathogen, T. brucei rhodesiense, in the mid-nanomolar range, reaching down to 50 nm. X-Rayco-crystalstructures confirmed the binding mode of the ligands and revealed the presence of a HEPES buffer molecule in the large active
