Aim: Cysteine proteases are important molecular targets involved in the replication, virulence and survival of parasitic organisms, including Trypanosoma and Leishmania species. Methodology & results: Analogs of the 7-chloro- N-[3-(morpholin-4-yl)propyl]quinolin-4-amine were synthesized and their inhibitory activity against the enzymes cruzain and rhodesain as well as against promastigotes forms of Leishmania species and epimastigotes forms of Trypanosoma cruzi were evaluated. Five compounds showed activity against both enzymes with IC50 values ranging from 23 to 123 μM. Among these, compounds 3 and 4 displayed leishmanicidal activity; compound 4 was the most promising with IC50 values <10 μM and no cytotoxicity for uninfected cells. Conclusion: The results obtained indicate that cysteine proteases are likely to be the molecular target of compounds 3 and 4.

ABSTRACT We carried out a comparative study of benznidazole and TAK-187, a long-lasting ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor, with a murine model of Chagas' disease. The results indicated that TAK-187 was more effective than benznidazole in preventing Trypanosoma cruzi-induced cardiac damage in experimental animals.
