A new chemotype with promise against Trypanosoma cruzi
摘要:
Pyridyl benzamide 2 is a potent inhibitor of Trypanosoma cruzi, but not other protozoan parasites, and had a selectivity-index of >= 10. The initial structure-activity relationship (SAR) indicates that benzamide and sulfonamide functional groups, and N-methylpiperazine and sterically unhindered 3-pyridyl substructures are required for high activity against T. cruzi. Compound 2 and its active analogs had low to moderate metabolic stabilities in human and mouse liver microsomes.
The present invention provides methods for inhibiting growth and proliferation of HIF pathway proficient cells by administering GLUT1 inhibitors of the invention to HIF pathway proficient cells.
