Novel inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi dihydrofolate reductase.
There is an urgent need for the development of new drugs to treat Chagas' disease, which is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) has been a very successful drug target in a number of diseases and we decided to investigate it as a potential drug target for Chagas' disease. A homology model of the enzyme was used to search the Cambridge Str...
متن کاملArylfurans as potential trypanosoma cruzi trypanothione reductase inhibitors.
The natural lignans veraguensin and grandisin have been reported to be active against Trypanosoma cruzi bloodstream forms. Aiming at the total synthesis of these and related compounds, we prepared three 2-arylfurans and eight 2,5-diarylfurans. They were evaluated for their potential as T. cruzi trypanothione reductase (TR) inhibitors as well against the parasite's intracellular (amastigote) and...

Dichloromethane and methanol extracts of Acmella bellidioides, Aspilia silphioides, Viguiera tuberosa, Calyptocarpus biaristatus, Hyalis argentea, Helenium radiatum, Gaillardia megapotamica, Verbesina subcordata, Gymnocoronis spilanthoides, Viguiera anchusaefolia, Thelesperma megapotamicum, Ze...
متن کاملAntioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Anacardium occidentale Leaf Extract
In tropical America, principally in Northeastern Brazil, the leaf extract of Anacardium occidentale is traditionally used for treatment of different diseases. However, chemical and biological properties and activities of Anacardium occidentale are poorly investigated and known. Here, we evaluated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities "in vitro" of leaf extract from Anacardium occiden...
