A focused library of inhibitors of the enzyme trypanothione reductase was prepared using solid-phase synthesis. The inhibitors were based on a previously identified, non-competitive, lead compound comprising of two Pmc (2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-sulfonyl) side-chain protected, N-capped arginine residues linked by a spermidine bridge. In total six protecting groups and four capping groups were used to generate a 24-membered library. All compounds bearing the 5-methoxyindole-3-acetic acid capping group were found to have good activity. The most potent inhibitor was observed to contain the Mtr (4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylbenzenesulphonyl) protecting group on the arginine residue, terminated with tryptophan as the capping group.
