The anthelmintic closantel has shown promise in abrogating the L3 molting of Onchocerca volvulus, the causative agent of the infectious disease onchocerciasis. In our search for alternative scaffolds, we utilized a fragment replacement/modification approach to generate novel chemotypes with improved chitinase inhibitory properties. Further evaluation of the compounds unveiled the potential of urea-tropolones as potent inhibitors of O. volvulus L3 molting.
驱虫药氯氰碘柳胺在阻止盘尾丝虫病的病原体盘尾丝虫的L3期蜕皮方面已显示出前景。在我们寻找替代骨架的过程中,我们采用了片段替换/修饰方法来生成具有改善的几丁质酶抑制特性的新型化学类型。对这些化合物的进一步评估揭示了尿素-托酚酮作为盘尾丝虫L3期蜕皮的有效抑制剂的潜力。
