Anti-infective agent 5 (compound 74) is an orally active inhibitor of Trypanosoma cruzi exhibiting an IC50 value of 0.10 μM. In addition to its potent inhibitory effect, anti-infective agent 5 demonstrates efficacy in reducing parasite burden in vivo. Consequently, this compound holds promising potential for research pertaining to infection. [1]

Anti-infective agent 5 (0.1 nM-100 μM; 48 h) shows antitrypanosomal activity against T. cruzi amastigotes in 3T3 cells with an IC 50 value of 0.10 μM [1]. Cell Cytotoxicity Assay [1] Cell Line: 3T3 cell line Concentration: 0.1 nM-100 μM Incubation Time: 48 hours Result: Showed activity against 3T3 cells with an CC 50 value of ＞37 μM.

Anti-infective agent 5 (50 mg/kg; p.o. twice daily for five days) reduces the parasite burden in bioluminescent T. cruzi mouse model [1]. Animal Model: BALB/c mice with bioluminescent T. cruzi CL Brener parasites infection [1] Dosage: 50 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; 50 mg/kg twice daily for five days Result: Showed a reduction in parasite burden of >98-99% with no significant adverse effects observed in mice.
