Resumo: A doença de Chagas é uma infeção causada pelo protozoário parasita Trypanosoma cruzi e afeta cerca de 8 milhões de pessoas em 21 países da América Latina. O tratamento dessa doença ainda se baseia no uso de benzonidazol ou nifurtimox, que apresentam baixas taxas de cura na fase crônica e frequentemente apresentam muitos efeitos colaterais indesejáveis. Aqui, descrevemos a síntese de flavonas e a avaliação de sua atividade tripanocida. As flavonas foram testadas in vitro contra o T…

Differently substituted 5,7-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-diazepines were synthesized by cyclocondensation of substituted flavones with ethylenediamine and tested as anti-Trypanosoma cruzi candidates and the most potent diaryldiazepine that reduced epimastigote proliferation exhibited an IC50 value of 0.25 μM, which is significantly more active than benznidazole.
