The protein family TcTASV-C is a novel Trypanosoma cruzi virulence factor secreted in extracellular vesicles by trypomastigotes and highly expressed in bloodstream forms. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
TcTASV-C is a protein family of about 15 members that is expressed only in the trypomastigote stage of Trypanosoma cruzi. We have previously shown that TcTASV-C is located at the parasite surface and secreted to the medium.

In Vitro Antitrypanosomal and Antibacterial Activity of Aqueous, Hydroethanolic and Ethanolic Extracts of Rumex obtusifolius L. Leaf and Root

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 138, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant extracts are an important raw material for the development of new drugs. Rumex obtusifolius L., popularly known as ‘bitter dock’, has significant pharmacological properties. This study evaluated the in vitro antitrypanosomal activity of aqueous, hydroethanolic and ethanolic extracts from the leaf and roots of R. obtusifolius L.

Differential gene expression during Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
The transformation of epimastigotes into metacyclic trypomastigotes involves changes in the pattern of expressed genes, resulting in important morphological and functional differences between these developmental forms of Trypanosoma cruzi.

TNF‐α partially modulates the endothelial dysfunction during the acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2256-2272, May 2026.
Background and Purpose Whereas the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection are well‐characterised in the heart, its impact on the vasculature has received little attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute and chronic T. cruzi infection on vascular responsiveness and the underlying mechanisms.

Targeting Kinetoplastid Parasites with ProTide Prodrugs: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health challenge, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Kinetoplastid parasites causing Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and African trypanosomiasis rely on host purine salvage pathways, making nucleoside analogues attractive therapeutic candidates.

Repurposing of Inhibitors of Plasmodial Aspartate Transcarbamoylase Toward Trypanosoma Cruzi

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATC) catalyzes the committed and rate‐limiting step in the pyrimidine de novo biosynthesis pathway. While previously suggested to be a potential target for antimalarial, antitubercular, and antioncologic drug discovery, we hypothesized that an existing compound library of ATC inhibitors designed from one scaffold by ...
