A series of synthetic 1,2,4-trioxanes related to artemisinin was tested against L. donovani and T. cruzi parasites. This screening identified some active compounds, with key common structural features. Interestingly, these selected trioxanes were efficient against both parasites, and achieved antiparasitic activities comparable or superior than those presented by the corresponding reference drugs,
测试了一系列与青蒿素有关的合成1,2,4-三恶烷,以对抗多诺尼乳酸杆菌和克氏锥虫的寄生虫。此筛选确定了一些具有关键共同结构特征的活性化合物。有趣的是,这些选定的三恶烷对两种寄生虫均有效,并且所获得的抗寄生虫活性可比或优于相应的参考药物青蒿素和青蒿琥酯。这项研究代表了在曲霉(T. cruzi)上评估合成三恶烷的第一个实例,并为开发治疗利什曼病和恰加斯病的新药物提供了可能的候选对象。
