title: Trypanothione reductase inhibition/trypanocidal activity relationships in a 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine series.
abstract: A series of symmetrically substituted 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazines was synthesized and tested towards trypanothione reductase and for its in vitro trypanocidal potency. The most trypanocidal amongst them was found to be totally inactive towards the enzyme and thus constitutes a lead structure for the identification of new potential Trypanosoma cruzi target(s).
