Targeting the human parasite Leishmania donovani: Discovery of a new promising anti-infectious pharmacophore in 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine series

Abstract

We report herein the discovery of antileishmanial molecules based on the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring. In vitro screenings of imidazopyridines belonging to our chemical library, toward the promastigotes stage of Leishmania donovani, J774A. 1 murine and HepG2 human cells, permitted to identify three selective hit-compounds (12, 20 and 28). New derivatives were then synthesized to allow structure-activity and -toxicity relationships analyses, enabling to characterize a lead-compound (44) displaying both a high potency (IC50 = 1.8 mu M) and a good selectivity index, in comparison with three antileishmanial reference drug-compounds (amphotericin B, miltefosine and pentamidine). Moreover, lead-compound
