Efficient Dimerization Disruption of Leishmania infantum Trypanothione Reductase by Triazole-phenyl-thiazoles

Alejandro Revuelto et al.

Summary: Inhibition of LiTryR by disrupting its homodimeric interface has been explored as a strategy for novel antileishmanial agents, with triazole-based compounds showing potent inhibitory activity and the ability to kill extracellular and intracellular parasites in cell cultures. The identification of an unexplored hydrophobic region at the interfacial domain as the putative binding site for these compounds highlights the potential for further development in this area.
