Probing multiple proprietary pharmaceutical libraries in parallel via virtual screening allowed rapid expansion of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) around hit compounds with moderate efficacy against , the causative agent of Chagas Disease. A potency-improving scaffold hop, followed by elaboration of the SAR via design guided by the output of the phenotypic virtual screening efforts, identified two promising hit compounds and , which were profiled further in pharmacokinetic studies and in an model of infection. Compound demonstrated clear reduction of parasitemia in the setting, confirming the interest in this series of 2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinazolines as potential anti-trypanosome treatments.
通过虚拟筛选同时探测多个专利药物库,可快速扩展对中度有效化合物的结构-活性关系(SAR),这些化合物针对引起恰加斯病的病原体 。通过基于表型虚拟筛选结果的设计来进行的药效团跃迁,提高了化合物的活性,鉴定了两个有前景的苗头化合物 和 ,它们在药代动力学研究和 感染模型中进一步进行了研究。化合物 在 模型中显示出明显的寄生虫减少,证实了 2-(吡啶-2-基)喹唑啉类化合物作为潜在抗锥虫药物的系列研究具有意义。
