Synthesis, Antiparasitic Activity, and ADME Profile of Morpholinephenylbenzamides: A Pharmacological Study Against Chagas Disease and Visceral Leishmaniasis

Chagas disease and leishmaniasis are neglected tropical diseases with limited treatment options. This study reports a hit‐to‐lead optimization of morpholinephenylbenzamides, starting from hit 1, which showed potent activity against Trypanosoma cruzi (IC50 0.29–0.76 μM) and Leishmania infantum (IC50 10.7 μM), despite a...

Identification of a Benzenesulfonylpiperazine Derivative With In Vivo Efficacy Against Visceral Leishmaniasis

In vitro investigation of Benzenesulfonylpiperazines 2 revealed that it exerts a cytostatic effect on Leishmania infantum promastigotes, promoting cell cycle arrest during the G0/G1 phase which may potentially be linked to the production of reactive oxygen species.
