Cure of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infections in mice with an irreversible inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1990
A structural analog, 5'-([(Z)-4-amino-2-butenyl]methylamino)-5'-deoxy adenosine (MDL 73811), of decarboxy S-adenosyl-L-methionine, the product of the reaction catalyzed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) decarboxylase (DC), was found to inhibit Trypanosoma brucei brucei AdoMet DC.

Exploring Novel Nitrofuryl‐1,3,4‐Thiadiazole‐Based Derivatives: Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of In Vitro Leishmanicidal and Trypanocidal Activity

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 3, March 2026.
In a series of substituted 1‐[5‐(5‐nitrofuran‐2‐yl)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl]piperidine‐4‐carboxamides evaluated for in vitro antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activity, compound 18 emerged as the most promising derivative, showing submicromolar anti‐parasitic effects targeting diverse Leishmania and Trypanosoma species and acceptable selectivity ...

Apolipoprotein L1 Variant Associated with Increased Susceptibility to Trypanosome Infection

mBio, 2016
African trypanosomes, except Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, which cause human African trypanosomiasis, are lysed by the human serum protein apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1).

Glutathione Derivatives Active against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. brucei brucei In Vitro [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2002
ABSTRACT Diesters based on N -benzyloxycarbonyl- S -(2,4-dinitrophenyl) GSH (CBzGSDNP) containing linear alcohols 3 to 9, branched alcohols 10 to 20, or heteroatom linear alcohols 21 to 25, were investigated as in vitro inhibitors of pathogenic parasites.

Ruthenium‐Catalyzed CH Alkenylation of Trypanocidal Naphthoquinones: A Mechanistic Benchmarking Study

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
Computational roadmap to click‐ready quinones. Quantum chemical analysis reveals how substituents modulate the reactivity of trypanocidal naphthoquinones in Ru‐catalyzed CH alkenylation, guiding the design of sulfonyl‐fluoride scaffolds for next‐generation antiparasitic agents.

The role of domestic animals in the epidemiology of human african trypanosomiasis in Ngorongoro conservation area, Tanzania

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the trypanosome parasite and transmitted by the tsetse fly vector. In Sub-saharan Africa, both the human and animal variants of the disease are a great obstacle towards agriculture ...

Effectiveness of a 10-day melarsoprol schedule for the treatment of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis: confirmation from a multinational study (IMPAMEL II). [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: Treatment of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) with melarsoprol can be improved by shortening the regimen. A previous trial demonstrated the safety and efficacy of a 10-day treatment schedule.

Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
The median PCV of poor body‐conditioned animals is below 20 (anaemic) compared to corresponding body‐condition animals. Black‐ and red‐coloured animals are more significantly affected by trypanosomosis than white‐coloured animals. Multivariable logistic regression revealed more about contributory factors than univariable logistic regression.
