Novel inhibitors of Trypanosoma brucei and mammalian UDP-Glc 4'-epimerase were identified by screening a small library of natural products and commercially available drug-like molecules. The inhibitors possess low micromolar potency against the T. brucei and human enzymes in vitro, display a degree of selectivity between the two enzymes, and are cytotoxic to cultured T. brucei and mammalian cells.
通过筛选一个天然产物和市售类药物分子的小型文库,鉴定出了布氏锥虫和哺乳动物UDP - 葡萄糖4'-表异构酶的新型抑制剂。这些抑制剂在体外对布氏锥虫和人类酶具有低微摩尔效力,在两种酶之间表现出一定程度的选择性,并且对培养的布氏锥虫和哺乳动物细胞具有细胞毒性。
