Patent ID: 10682359

Abstract:
Compounds discovered through a high-throughput screen, along with methods of use of the compounds, are provided. The compounds can be used to strongly inhibit key drug targets found in protozoan parasites, e.g., the target Trypanosoma cruzi glucokinase. Compounds include derivatives of N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide, barbituric acid, (R)-3-(piperidin-2-yl)pyridine, 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2H-chromene, 6-amino-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,4-dihydropryranole[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile, and gossypol (2,2′-Bis(formyl-1,6,7-trihydroxy-5-isopropyl-3-methylnaphthalene).
