Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a parasitic neglected tropical disease that affects 10,000 patients each year. Current treatments are sub-optimal, and the disease is fatal if not treated. Herein, we report our continuing efforts to repurpose the human phosphodiesterase 4 (hPDE4) inhibitor piclamilast to target trypanosomal phosphodiesterase TbrPDEB1. We prepared a range of substituted heterocyclic replacements for the 4-amino-3,5-dichloro-pyridine headgroup of piclamilast, and found that these compounds exhibited weak inhibitory activity of TbrPDEB1.
人类非洲锥虫病(HAT)是一种寄生虫性被忽视的热带病,每年影响 10000 名患者。目前的治疗方法并不理想,如果不治疗,这种疾病是致命的。在此,我们报告我们继续努力重新利用人类磷酸二酯酶 4(hPDE4)抑制剂匹拉米特来靶向锥虫磷酸二酯酶 TbrPDEB1。我们制备了一系列取代的杂环取代物,用于匹拉米特的 4-氨基-3,5-二氯-吡啶头基,发现这些化合物对 TbrPDEB1 表现出较弱的抑制活性。
