摘要
A series of isothiazole dioxides was synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of protein farnesyltransferase from the parasite that causes African sleeping sickness (Trypanosoma brucei). The most potent compound in the series inhibited the parasite enzyme with an IC50 of 2 muM and blocked the growth of the bloodstream parasite in vitro with an ED50 of 10 muM. The same compound inhibited rat protein farnesyltransferase and protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I only at much higher concentration. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
