Bioactivity Profiles of Progressively Ring-Fluorinated Cyclohexyl Motifs in the WKYMVm Peptide as Formylpeptide FPR2 Agonists and in Keto-Piperazines as Antitrypanosome Agents. [PDF]
All‐cis‐fluorinated cyclohexyl motifs with progressively increasing levels of fluorine are introduced into the WKYMVm peptide and a class of keto‐piperazine derivatives and assayed against the FPR2 receptor or the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, respectively.

In vitro Anti-Trypanosomal Activities of Indanone-Based Chalcones [PDF]
Human African trypanosomiasis is a neglected infectious disease that affects mostly people living in the rural areas of Africa. Current treatment options are limited to just four drugs that have been in use of four to nine decades. The life-threatening toxic side-effects associated with the use of these drugs are disconcerting.

Trypanocidal Effects of Polyprenylated Benzophenone Enriched Brazilian Red Propolis Extract and Its Isolated Constituent. [PDF]
In vitro trypanocidal activity of a polyprenylated benzophenone‐enriched Brazilian red propolis extract (SEBz) and its major constituents, guttiferone E/xanthochymol (GUT/XAN) and oblongifolin B (OBL), exhibit in vitro trypanocidal activity against Trypanosoma cruzi, inducing ultrastructural damage with moderate cytotoxicity and no significant ...

Digalloyl Glycoside: A Potential Inhibitor of Trypanosomal PFK from Euphorbia abyssinica J.F. Gmel
Human African trypanosomiasis is an endemic infectious disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei via the bite of tsetse-fly. Most of the drugs used for the treatment, e.g., Suramin, have shown several problems, including the high level of toxicity ...

A Chlorodiazirine Analog of Pentamidine with Anti-Trypanosomal Activity
A chlorodiazirine derivative of pentamidine was synthesized and tested for anti-trypanosomal activity using EATRO stock 164 trypanosomes in cell culture. Anti-trypanosomal activity was measured as a decrease in [3H]hypoxanthine incorporation by the organisms.

New Tetromycin Derivatives with Anti-Trypanosomal and Protease Inhibitory Activities [PDF]
Four new tetromycin derivatives, tetromycins 1–4 and a previously known one, tetromycin B (5) were isolated from Streptomyces axinellae Pol001T cultivated from the Mediterranean sponge Axinella polypoides. Structures were assigned using extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy as well as HRESIMS analysis.
