Synthesis and biological evaluation of 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones with antitrypanosomal activity
A library of 1,4-benzodiazepines has been synthesized and evaluated against Trypanosoma brucei, a causative parasite of Human African trypanosomiasis. Benzodiazepines possessing a P2- transporter motif were found to have MIC values as low as 0.78μM.
