Studies toward the structural optimization of new brazilizone-related trypanocidal 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-arylhydrazone derivatives
摘要:
Megazol is a highly active compound against Trypanosoma cruzi, and has become a core structure for the design of new trypanocidal agents. Recently, we have identified the new potent trypanocide agent Brazilizone A, which presents an IC50 twofold more potent than the prototype megazol. This result has encouraged us to further explore structurally-related 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-arylhydrazone derivatives, in order to get a better understanding of their structural and antiprotozoal activity relationships. Herein we report the synthesis and trypanocidal profile of thirteen new Brazilizone A analogues, which supported the construction of 3D-QSAR models used for its structural optimization.

Synthesis and antitrypanosomal profile of new functionalized 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-arylhydrazone derivatives, designed as non-mutagenic megazol analogues
摘要:
In this work we reported the synthesis and the trypanocidal profile of new 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-arylhydrazone derivatives of nitroimidazole series (4) or phenyl series (5), designed by exploring the molecular hybridization approach between megazol (2) and guanyl hydrazone derivative (3). The evaluation of the activity against bloodstream trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi forms lead us to identify a new potent trypamomicide prototype, that is, brazilizone A (4k), which present an IC50/24h = 5.3 muM.
