摘要
Trypanothione reductase (TR), an enzyme that buffers oxidative stress in trypanosomatid parasites, was screened against commercial libraries containing approximately 134,500 compounds. After secondary screening, four chemotypes were identified as screening positives with selectivity for TR over human glutathione reductase. Thirteen compounds from these four chernotypes were purchased, and their in vitro activity against TR and Trypanosoma brucei is described. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
