Trypanosomal MICOS Is Assembled on Non‐Respiring Mitochondrial Crista Precursors and Associates With Two Integral Microproteins

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 4, Page 396-411, October 2026.
The mitochondrial membrane‐shaping machinery MICOS is assembled surprisingly early during the life cycle of Trypanosoma brucei, before the mitochondrion acquires its mature architecture or full respiratory capacity. Our study also identifies two previously uncharacterized proteins associated with MICOS, providing new insight into the early organization

Pyridyl‐Imidazopyridine Derivatives Displaying Submicromolar Activity Against Trypanosoma cruzi

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Previously reported pyridyl‐thiazoles and highly active imidazopyridines against Trypanosoma cruzi inspired the design of a new series of pyridyl‐substituted imidazopyridines. Among the synthesized compounds, 5h emerged as the most promising derivative, displaying potent trypanocidal activity (EC50 = 0.16 μM), excellent selectivity (SI > 1250), and ...
