Chemical and biological analysis of 4-acyloxy-3-nitrocoumarins as trypanocidal agents
Chagas disease is the most widespread contagious tropical disease in Latin America, being an important public health problem. Treatments against this disease are still very ineffective, presenting several side effects. Therefore, the search for alternative therapeutic solutions is urgent.

Metabolite-dependent regulation of gene expression in trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Mechanisms regulating gene expression in trypanosomatid protozoa differ significantly from those in other eukaryotes. Transcription of the genome appears to be more or less constitutive with the polyadenylation and trans-splicing of large polycistronic ...

Trypanosoma cruzi: analysis of two different strains after piplartine treatment
The hemoflagellate protozoan, Trypanosoma cruzi, mainly transmitted by triatomine insects through blood transfusion or from mother-to-child, causes Chagas' disease.

Structure-based design and synthesis of antiparasitic pyrrolopyrimidines targeting pteridine reductase 1 [PDF]
The treatment of Human African Trypanosomiasis remains a major unmet health need in sub-Saharan Africa. Approaches involving new molecular targets are important and pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1), an enzyme that reduces dihydrobiopterin in Trypanosoma spp.

The trans-Sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi a Putative Target for Trypanocidal Agents [PDF]
Trypanosomatid protozoa are parasites of considerable medical and economical importance because they are the causative agents of chronic human and livestock diseases endemic in developing countries. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas´ disease, present in most of Latin America. The biology of this parasite presents some unusual features,

A gram‐scale supply of bulbiferamide A, which features a rare N‐acylindole linkage and possesses potent inhibitory activity against Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes (IC50 = 4.1 µM)—the causative parasite of Chagas disease—was successfully achieved. Moreover, the cyclization strategy developed in this study facilitated the synthesis of noncanonical ...

Antiprotozoal activity of flavonoids from Eupatorium arnottianum [PDF]
Dichloromethane and ethanol extracts of Eupatorium arnottianum were evaluated for invitroleishmanicidal activity. The dichloromethane extract produced 80% and 85% of growthinhibition on both Leishmania mexicana and Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes ...

The samples were fungicidal against Candida, with MICs ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/mL, and fungistatic against Penicillium adametzii, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, with MICs of 1000 μg/mL. The volatile oils of Piper aduncum and Piper marginatum reduced the viability of MDA‐MB231 cells.
