Abstract

A series of novel 2-nitro-1H-imidazole- and 3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-based aromatic and aliphatic amines were screened for anti-trypanosomal activity and mammalian cytotoxicity by the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi). Out of 42 compounds tested, eighteen 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles and one 2-nitroimidazole displayed significant growth inhibitory properties against T. cruzi amastigotes (IC50 ranging from 40 nM to 1.97 microM) , without concomitant toxicity towards the host cells (L6 cells), having selectivity indices (SI) 44 to 1320. Most (16) of these active compounds were up to 33.8-fold more potent than the reference drug benznidazole, tested in parallel. Five novel 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles were active against bloodstream form (BSF) T. b. rhodesiense trypomastigotes (IC50 at nM levels and SI 220 to 993). An NADH-dependent nitroreductase (TbNTR) plays a role in the anti-parasitic activity, since BSF T. b. brucei trypomastigotes with elevated TbNTR levels were hypersensitive to tested compounds. Therefore, a novel class of affordable 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole-based compounds with antitrypanosomal activity has been identified
