Abstract
Better therapeutics are greatly needed to treat patients infected with trypanosomatid parasites such as Trypanosoma cruzi or Trypanosoma brucei. This report describes 28 new imidazopyridines and triazolopyrimidines with potent and selective antitrypanosomal activity. Drug-like properties were demonstrated in a number of in vitro assays. In vivo efficacy was observed for 19 and 20 in acute mouse models of T. cruzi infection. Compounds 19 and 20 represent potential leads for new anti-Chagas disease drugs.Entities:
