Anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity of extracts from Argentinean Asteraceae species
The anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity of extracts from 13 Argentinean Asteraceae species was determined. 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 کاملOptimization of anti-Trypanosoma cruzi oxadiazoles leads to identification of compounds with efficacy in infected mice.
We recently showed that oxadiazoles have anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity at micromolar concentrations. These compounds are easy to synthesize and show a number of clear and interpretable structure-activity relationships (SAR), features that make them attractive to pursue potency enhancement. We present here the structural design, synthesis, and anti-T. cruzi evaluation of new oxadiazoles denote...
متن کاملAnti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity of nicotinamide.
Inhibition of Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania spp. sirtuins has shown promising antiparasitic activity, indicating that these enzymes may be used as targets for drug discovery against trypanosomatid infections. In the present work we carried out a virtual screening focused on the C pocket of Sir2 from Trypanosoma cruzi. Using this approach, the best ligand found was nicotinamide. In vitro tes...
متن کاملActivity of anticancer compounds against Trypanosoma cruzi-infected mice.
Chagas' disease, which is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, remains essentially incurable. Due principally to a lack of profit incentive, the pharmaceutical industry has had limited interest in developing new antichagasic drugs. Thus, a search for agents that exhibit activity against T. cruzi, although medicaments have been developed for the treatment of other diseases, seems justifiable. Responding...
