Abstract Background Current approaches of drug repurposing against COVID-19 have not proven overwhelmingly successful and the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to cause major global mortality. nsp12, its RNA polymerase, shares homology in nucleotide uptake channel with HCV orthologue enzyme NS5B. Besides, NS5A has pleiotropic activities, such as binding, that are shared various proteins. Thus, anti-HCV NS5B inhibitors, like sofosbuvir daclatasvir, respectively, could be endowed anti-SARS-CoV-2...

Abstract Current approaches of drugs repurposing against 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have not proven overwhelmingly successful and the severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic continues to cause major global mortality. Daclatasvir (DCV) sofosbuvir (SFV) are clinically approved hepatitis C virus (HCV), with satisfactory safety profile. DCV SFV target HCV enzymes NS5A NS5B, respectively. is endowed pleotropic activities, which overlap several proteins from SARS-CoV-2....

Searching for new substances with antileishmanial activity, we synthesized and evaluated a series of α,α-difluorohydrazide α,α-difluoramides against Leishmania amazonensis arginase (LaArg). Four derivatives showed activity LaArg Ki in the range 1.3–26 μM. The study kinetics inhibition that these might act via different inhibitory mechanisms or even by combination these. compounds were tested L. promastigotes best result was obtained to compound 4 (EC50 12.7 ± 0.3 μM). In addition, order...

Chagas disease is a tropical neglected that affects millions of people worldwide, still demanding more effective and safer therapy, especially in its chronic phase which lacks treatment promotes substantial parasitological cure. The technical note Romanha collaborators published 2010 aimed establish guideline with the set minimum criteria decision gates for development new agents against Trypanosoma cruzi focus on developing antichagasic drugs. In this sense, present review aims to update...

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top ten causes death worldwide, while Chagas disease (CD) parasitic that kills largest number people in Americas. TB leading cause for patients with AIDS; it 1.5 million and 10 new cases every year. The lack newly developed chemotherapeutic agents insufficient access to health care services a diagnosis increase incidence multidrug-resistant (MDRTB) cases. Although CD was identified 1909, chronic stages still adequate treatment.The purpose this work design...

Chagas disease (CD), which is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and was discovered more than 100 years ago, remains the leading cause of death from parasitic diseases in Americas. As a curative treatment only available for acute phase CD, search new therapeutic options urgent. In this study, nitroazole azole compounds were synthesized underwent molecular modeling, anti-T. evaluations nitroreductase enzymatic assays. The designed as possible inhibitors ergosterol biosynthesis and/or substrates...

Chagas disease is a neglected tropical parasitic caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Worldwide, an estimated 8 million people are infected with T. cruzi, causing more than 10,000 deaths per year. Currently, only two drugs, nifurtimox and benznidazole (BNZ), approved for its treatment. However, both ineffective during chronic phase, show toxicity, produce serious side effects. This work aimed to obtain evaluate novel 2-nitroimidazole-N-acylhydrazone derivatives analogous BNZ. The...
