Abstract: Solid- and solution-phase parallel syntheses of 1,4-naphthoquinones (1,4-NQ) are described. A library of 1360 amides was constructed from the combination of 12 newly synthesised 1,4-NQ carboxylic acid and 120 amines, and was screened for inhibition of trypanothione reductase (TR) from Trypanosoma cruzi. The most active hits from a primary screening were re-synthesised and confirmed. This approach proves that it is possible to design potent and highly specific TcTR inhibitors deriving from menadione, juglone and plumbagin.
