Mechanistic and biological characterisation of novelN5-substituted paullones targeting the biosynthesis of trypanothione inLeishmania
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Trypanothione synthetase (TryS) produces N1,N8-bis(glutathionyl)spermidine (or trypanothione) at the expense of ATP. Trypanothione is a metabolite unique and essential for survival and drug-resistance of trypanosomatid parasites. In this study, we report the mechanistic and biological characterisation of optimised N5-substituted paullone analogues with anti-TryS activity. Several of the new derivatives retained...
