Title: Synthesis and antikinetoplastid evaluation of bis(benzyl)spermidine derivatives.
Authors: Jagu E, Pomel S, Diez-Martinez A, Rascol E, Pethe S, Loiseau PM, Labruère R.
Abstract: This study describes the synthesis and the biological evaluation of twenty-four original bis(benzyl)spermidines. Structural modifications of the polyamine scaffold were performed in order to avoid easily metabolized bonds. Some bis(benzyl)polyamine derivatives have demonstrated promising activity in vitro against Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Leishmania donovani. From the enzymatic experiments on trypanothione reductase, we observed that this enzyme was not targeted by our compounds. In vivo evaluation on Swiss mice model infected by T. b. gambiense or L. donovani was done with the most interesting compound of the series.
