We herein describe the synthesis and characterization of nine new 1,3,4-thiadiazolium-2-phenylamine chlorides derived from natural piperine. We evaluate their toxic effects against the different evolutive forms of Trypanosoma cruzi, and the host cell (murine macrophages). The results obtained show that
