Abstract

We have previously shown that 3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-based arylamides and arylsulfonamides demonstrate significant activity in vitro against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative parasite of Chagas disease. More importantly, several such analogs displayed significant antichagasic activity in vivo, superior to that of benznidazole, the current clinical standard. We now report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of a small series of novel nitro(triazole/imidazole)-based heteroarylamides/sulfonamides (including 3-nitrotriazole-, 2- and 4-nitroimidazole-based compounds) as potential antitrypanosomal agents. All nitrotriazoles displayed significant growth inhibitory properties against T. cruzi with the most potent generating IC50 values of >1 μM and up to <1400-fold selectivity toward the parasite. The 2-nitroimidazole-based derivatives were moderately active against T. cruzi and displayed selectivity >50, while the 4-nitroimidazoles were mostly inactive. Several 3-nitrotriazole-based analogs showed activity against Trypanosomabrucei rhodesiense but none of the tested compounds displayed activity toward Leishmania donovani. From the detailed SARs presented here, we identified the 3-nitrotriazole-based chlorinated thiophene/benzothiophene sulfonamides/amides as being the most active antichagasic compounds, displaying up to 14-fold higher potency against T. cruzi than the reference compound benznidazole.
