Analogues of Fenarimol Are Potent Inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi and Are Efficacious in a Murine Model of Chagas Disease
摘要:
We report the discovery of nontoxic fungicide fenarimol (1) as an inhibitor of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), the causative agent of Chagas disease, and the results of structure-activity investigations leading to potent analogues with low nM IC(50)s in a T. cruzi whole cell in vitro assay. Lead compounds suppressed blood parasitemia to virtually undetectable levels after once daily oral dosing in mouse models of T. cruzi infection. Compounds are chemically tractable, allowing rapid optimization of target biological activity and drug characteristics. Chemical and biological studies undertaken in the development of the fenarimol series toward the goal of delivering a new drug candidate for Chagas disease are reported.

A simple, and practical oxidative scission of aromatic olefins to carbonylcompounds using O2 as the sole oxidant with poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether as a benign solvent has been developed. A wide range of monosubstituted, gem-disubstituted, 1,2-disubstituted, trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted aromatic olefins was successfully converted into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent
已经开发了一种使用 O 2作为唯一氧化剂,聚(乙二醇)二甲醚作为良性溶剂,将芳族烯烃氧化裂解为羰基化合物的简单实用的方法。即使在克级反应中,多种单取代、偕二取代、1,2-二取代、三取代和四取代芳族烯烃也能以优异的收率成功转化为相应的醛和酮。还进行了一些对照实验以支持可能的反应途径。
