Novel alkylpolyaminoguanidines and alkylpolyaminobiguanides with potent antitrypanosomal activity
摘要:
A series of polyaminoguanidines and polyaminobiguan ides were synthesized and evaluated as potential antitrypanosomal agents. These analogues inhibit trypanothione reductase (TR) with IC50 values as low as 0.95 mu M, but do not inhibit the closely related human enzyme glutathione reductase (GR). The most effective analogues, 7a, 7b and 8d, inhibited parasitic growth in vitro with IC50 values of 0.18, 0.09 and 0.18 mu M, respectively. These agents represent a promising new class of potential antitrypanosomal agents. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
