The discovery of two quinazolinones with selective, single-digit micromolar activity (IC = 6-7 µM) against the tachyzoites of the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is reported. These potent and selective third generation derivatives contain a benzyloxybenzyl substituent at C2 and a bulky aliphatic moiety at N3. Here we show that these quinazolinones inhibit T. gondii tachyzoite replication in an established infection, but do not significantly affect host cell invasion by the tachyzoites.
据报道,发现了两种喹唑啉酮,它们对顶复门寄生虫刚地弓形虫的速殖子具有选择性的个位数微摩尔活性(IC = 6 - 7 μM)。这些强效且选择性的第三代衍生物在C2位含有苄氧基苄基取代基,在N3位含有一个庞大的脂肪族部分。在此,我们表明这些喹唑啉酮在已建立的感染中抑制刚地弓形虫速殖子的复制,但对速殖子侵入宿主细胞没有显著影响。
