چکیده
THE CONFORMATION OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: N-benzyl-2-(2-nitro-imidazol-1-yl)acetamide], C(12)H(12)N(4)O(3), can be described in terms of the relative orientation of three planar fragments, the imidazol group (A), benzyl group (B), and the acetamide fragment (C), with corresponding dihedral angles: A/C = 88.17 (4), B/C = 67.12 (5) and A/B = 21.11 (4)°. The crystal packing is enhanced by a network of strong inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Benznidazole-related adverse drug reactions and their relationship to serum drug concentrations in patients with chronic chagas disease.
For treating Chagas disease (CD), a current worldwide health problem, only benznidazole and nifurtimox have been approved to be used. In both cases, unwanted drug-related adverse events (ADRs) are frequent when these drugs are used in adults in the chronic stage. The main objective of this study was to establish benznidazole ADRs and their relationship to serum concentrations in patients with c...
متن کاملButhionine sulfoximine increases the toxicity of nifurtimox and benznidazole to Trypanosoma cruzi.
l-Buthionine (S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO) increased the toxicity of nifurtimox and benznidazole toward the epimastigote, trypomastigote, and amastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. BSO at 500 muM decreased total glutathione-derived thiols by 70 to 80% in 48 h. In epimastigotes, 500 muM BSO decreased the concentration of nifurtimox needed to inhibit constant growth of the parasites by 50%, from 14.0 t...
متن کاملBenznidazole prevents endothelial damage in an experimental model of Chagas disease.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of benznidazole on endothelial activation in a murine model of Chagas disease. METHODS A low (30mg/kg/day) and a high (100mg/kg/day) dose of benznidazole were administered to mice infected with Trypanosoma cruzi during the early phases of the infection. The effects of the treatments were assessed at 24 and 90 days postinfection by evaluating the parasitaemia,...
متن کاملStimulation by localized tumor hyperthermia of reductive bioactivation of 2-nitroimidazole benznidazole in mice.
We have investigated the effects of localized tumor hyperthermia (LTH; 43.5 degrees C x 30 min) on the reductive bioactivation of the 2-nitroimidazole benznidazole in C3H mouse normal tissues and KHT tumors. Mice were allocated to one of three treatment groups: (a) unrestrained controls, (b) sham tumor treatment, and (c) LTH. Concentrations of benznidazole and its amine metabolite were determin...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic Abnormalities and Treatment with Benznidazole among Children with Chronic Infection by Trypanosoma cruzi: A Retrospective Cohort Study
BACKGROUND Chronic infection by Trypanosoma cruzi could cause heart conduction disturbances. We sought to analyze electrocardiographic abnormalities among children with chronic T. cruzi infection with and without trypanocidal treatment with benznidazole. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We studied 111 children 6-16 years of age with asymptomatic chronic T. cruzi infection who were recruited in ...
متن کاملBenznidazole-induced genotoxicity in diploid cells of Aspergillus nidulans.
Genotoxic effects of benznidazole were studied by the induction of homozygosis of genes previously present in heterozygous. UT448//A757 diploid strain was used in the benznidazole's recombinagenesis test. Although toxic effects on growth of colonies were not observed, 75 and 100 microM benznidazole induced an increasing of mitotic recombination events in diploid strain. Results were related to ...
