ABSTRACT

Searching for new substances with antileishmanial activity, we synthesized and evaluated a series of α,α-difluorohydrazide and α,α-difluoramides against Leishmania amazonensis arginase (LaArg). Four α,α-difluorohydrazide derivatives showed activity against LaArg with Ki in the range of 1.3-26 µM. The study of the kinetics of LaArg inhibition showed that these substances might act via different inhibitory mechanisms or even by a combination of these. The compounds were tested against L. amazonensis promastigotes and the best result was obtained to the compound 4 (EC50 of 12.7 ±â€¯0.3 µM). In addition, in order to obtain further insight into the binding mode of such compounds, molecular docking studies were performed to obtain additional validation of experimental results. Considering these results, it is possible to conclude that α,α-difluorohydrazide derivatives are a promising scaffold in the development of new substances against the etiological agent of leishmaniasis by targeting LaArg.
