PubMed Abstract: The tropical diseases human African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, and the various forms of leishmaniasis are caused by parasites of the family of trypanosomatids. These protozoa possess a unique redox metabolism based on trypanothione and trypanothione reductase (TR), making TR a promising drug target. We report the optimization of properties and potency of cyclohexylpyrrolidine inhibitors of TR by structure-based design. The best inhibitors were freely soluble and showed competitive inhibition constants (K ) against Trypanosoma (T.) brucei TR and T. cruzi TR and in vitro activities (half-maximal inhibitory concentration, IC ) against these parasites in the low micromolar range, with high selectivity against human glutathione reductase. X-ray co-crystal structures confirmed the binding of the ligands to the hydrophobic wall of the "mepacrine binding site" with the new, solubility-providing vectors oriented toward the surface of the large active site.
