Novel pyrrolobenzoxaboroles: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation against Trypanosoma brucei
摘要:
Human African trypanosomiasis is a fatal parasitic infection caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei. The development of novel antitrypanosomal agents is urgently needed. Here we report the synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a new class of benzoxaboroles as antitrypanosomal agents. These compounds showed antiparasitic IC50 values ranging from 4.02 to 0.03 mu g/mL and satisfactory cytotoxicity profile. Three of the lead compounds were demonstrated to cure the parasitic infection in a murine acute infection model. The structure activity relationship of the pyrrolobenzoxaboroles are also discussed.

was synthesized with 27% overall yield over six steps from 2-bromo-1-methyl-4-nitrobenzene as starting material. Its derivatization was achieved via Friedel–Crafts reaction catalyzed by anhydrous stannicchloride with various acyl chlorides giving 3-acyl-1-phenylpyrroles as the main products.
