摘要

A series of compounds containing 2-substituted imidazoles has been synthesized from imidazole and tested for its biological activity against human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). The 2-substituted 5-nitroimidazoles such as fexinidazole (7a) and 1-[4-(1-methyl-5-nitro-1H- imidazol-2-ylmethoxy)-pyridin-2-yl-piperazine (9e) exhibited potent activity against T. brucei in vitro with low cytotoxicity and good solubility. The presence of the NO2 group at the 5- ...
