Design, synthesis, and biochemical evaluation of novel cruzain inhibitors with potential application in the treatment of Chagas’ disease
摘要:
A series of compounds bearing tetrahydronaphthalene, benzophenone, propiophenone, and related rigid molecular skeletons functionalized with thiosemicarbazone or unsaturated carbonyl moieties were prepared by chemical synthesis and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the enzyme cruzain. As potential treatment agents for Chagas' disease, three compounds from the group demonstrate potent inhibition of cruzain with IC50 values of 17, 24, and 80 nM, respectively. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

The present invention relates to semicarbazone or thiosemicarbazone inhibitors of cysteine proteases and methods of using such compounds to prevent and treat protozoan infections such as trypanosomiasis, malaria and leishmaniasis. The compounds also find use in inhibiting cysteine proteases associated with carcinogenesis, including cathepsins B and L.
