要旨

The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' disease, can infect the heart, causing cardiac arrest frequently followed by death. To treat this disease, a potential molecular drug target is T. cruzi trans-sialidase (TcTS). However, inhibitors found to date are not strong enough to serve as a lead scaffold; most inhibitors reported thus far are derivatives of the substrate sialic acid or a transition state analogue known as 2,3-dehydro-3-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid (DANA) with an IC(50) value of more than hundreds of micromolar. Since natural products are highly stereodiversified and often provide highly specific biological activity, we screened a natural product library for inhibitors of TcTS and identified promising flavonoid and anthraquinone derivatives. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis of the flavonoids revealed that apigenin had the minimal and sufficient structure for inhibition. Intriguingly, the compound has been reported to possess trypanocidal activity. An SAR analysis of anthraquinones showed that 6-chloro-9,10-dihydro-4,5,7-trihydroxy-9,10-dioxo-2-anthracenecarboxylic acid had the strongest inhibitory activity ever found against TcTS. Moreover, its inhibitory activity appeared to be specific to TcTS. These compounds may serve as potent lead chemotherapeutic scaffolds against Chagas' disease.
