Anti-trypanosomal activity of non-peptidic nitrile-based cysteine protease inhibitors. [PDF]
The cysteine protease cruzipain is considered to be a validated target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of Chagas disease. Anti-trypanosomal activity against the CL Brener strain of T. cruzi was observed in the 0.1 μM to 1 μM range for three

Differential virulence of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense isolates does not influence the outcome of treatment with anti-trypanosomal drugs in the mouse model. [PDF]
We assessed the virulence and anti-trypanosomal drug sensitivity patterns of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (Tbr) isolates in the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization-Biotechnology Research Institute (KALRO-BioRI) cryobank. Specifically,

Anti-trypanosomal Phenolic Derivatives from [PDF]
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the EtOH extract of the aerial parts of Baccharis uncinella C. DC. (Asteraceae) led to identification of two cinnamic acid derivatives (caffeic and ferulic acids), two flavones (hispidulin and pectolinaringenin) and a ...

Novel flavanones with anti-trypanosomal activity isolated from Zambian and Tanzanian propolis samples [PDF]
A bioassay-guided phytochemical investigation of propolis samples from Tanzania and Zambia that screened for activity against Trypanosoma brucei has led to the isolation of two novel flavanones with promising antitrypanosomal activity. The compounds were

Nitrofurylsemicarbazone Rhenium and Ruthenium Complexes as Anti-trypanosomal Agents
Rhenium and ruthenium complexes of the type [Re(V)OCl(2)(PPh(3))L] and [Ru(II)Cl(2)(DMSO)(2)L], where L are 5-nitrofurylsemicarbazone derivatives, were prepared in an effort to obtain new anti-trypanosomal agents combining the recognized biological activity of these metals and the trypanocidal activity of the free ligands.

Macrocyclic skeletal modification approach to the anti-trypanosomal macrolides, actinoallolides.
Herein, we report the construction of 16-membered macrocycles that were designed as intermediates toward the unified synthesis of actinoallolides. Key to our synthesis was the use of Mitsunobu macrocyclization, followed by a sequence of Birch reduction ...
