RESUMO

In this work, two synthetic aurones revealed moderate schistosomicidal potential in in vitro and in vivo assays. Aurones (1) and (2) promoted changes in tegument integrity and motor activity, leading to death of adult Schistosoma mansoni worms in in vitro assays. When administered orally (two doses of 50 mg/kg) in experimentally infected animals, synthetic aurones (1) and (2) promoted reductions of 56.20 % and 57.61 % of the parasite load and stimulated the displacement towards the liver of the remaining adult worms. The oogram analysis revealed that the treatment with both aurones interferes with the egg development kinetics in the intestinal tissue. Seeking an action target for compounds (1) and (2), the connection with NTPDases enzymes, recognized as important therapeutic targets for S. mansoni, was evaluated. Molecular docking studies have shown promising results. The dataset reveals the anthelmintic character of these compounds, which can be used in the development of new therapies for schistosomiasis.

RESUMO

Malaria remains one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. The multidrug-resistant Plasmodium strains make the treatment currently available for malaria less effective. Therefore, the development of new drugs is necessary to overcome therapy resistance. Triazole derivatives exhibit several biological activities and provide a moiety that is promising from the biological perspective. Due to the structural similarity to NADH, it is believed that triazoles can bind to the active site of the Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) enzyme. The present work evaluates the antimalarial activity of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives by in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies. Preliminary in silico ADMET studies of the compounds demonstrated good pharmacokinetic properties. In silico docking analysis against LDH of Plasmodium berghei (PbLDH) showed that all compounds presented interactions with the catalytic residue in the active site and affinity similar to that presented by chloroquine; the most common antimalarial drug. Cytotoxicity and hemolysis by these derivatives were evaluated in vitro. The compounds 1, 2, 5, 8, and 9 proved to be non-cytotoxic in the performed tests. In vivo antimalarial activity was evaluated using mice infected with Plasmodium berghei NK65. The five compounds tested exhibited antimalarial activity until nine days post-infection. The compound 5 showed promising activities, with about 70% parasitemia suppression. Considering the in vitro and in vivo studies, we believe the compound 5 to be the most promising molecule for further studies in antimalarial chemotherapy.
