Synergic effect of allopurinol in combination with nitro-heterocyclic compounds...

Combination therapy has gained attention as a possible strategy for overcoming the limitations of the present therapeutic arsenal for Chagas disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of allopurinol in association with nitroheterocyclic compounds on infection with the Y strain of Trypanosoma cruzi. The in vitro effect of allopurinol plus benznidazole or nifurtimox on intracellular amastigotes in ...

Real-time PCR strategy for parasite quantification in blood and tissue samples ...

The lack of an accurate diagnosis has been a serious obstacle to the advancement of the anti-Trypanosoma cruzi chemotherapy and long-term infection can result in different health risks to human. PCRs are alternative methods, more sensitive than conventional parasitological techniques, which due to their low sensitivities are considered unsuitable for these purposes. The aim of this study was to investigate a se...

Drug discovery for Chagas disease should consider Trypanosoma cruzi strain dive...

In vitro and in vivo experimental models for drug screening and development for...

Chagas disease, a neglected illness, affects nearly 12-14 million people in endemic areas of Latin America. Al¬though the occurrence of acute cases sharply has declined due to Southern Cone Initiative efforts to control vector transmission, there still remain serious challenges, including the maintenance of sustainable public policies for Chagas disease control and the urgent need for better drugs to treat chag...

Benznidazole and Posaconazole in experimental Chagas disease: positive interact...

Background: Current chemotherapy for Chagas disease is unsatisfactory due to its limited efficacy, particularly in the chronic phase, with frequent side effects that can lead to treatment discontinuation. Combined therapy is envisioned as an ideal approach since it may improve treatment efficacy whilst decreasing toxicity and the likelihood of resistance development. We evaluated the efficacy of posaconazole in...

Fexinidazole : a potential new drug candidate for Chagas disease.

Background: New safe and effective treatments for Chagas disease (CD) are urgently needed. Current chemotherapy options for CD have significant limitations, including failure to uniformly achieve parasitological cure or prevent the chronic phase of CD, and safety and tolerability concerns. Fexinidazole, a 2-subsituted 5-nitroimidazole drug candidate rediscovered following extensive compound mining by the Drugs ...
