Popis: Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a parasitic neglected tropical disease that affects 10,000 patients each year. Current treatments are sub-optimal, and the disease is fatal if not treated. Herein, we report our continuing efforts to repurpose the human phosphodiesterase 4 (hPDE4) inhibitor piclamilast to target trypanosomal phosphodiesterase TbrPDEB1. We prepared a range of substituted heterocyclic replacements for the 4-amino-3,5-dichloro-pyridine head group of piclamilast, and found that these compounds exhibited weak inhibitory activity of TbrPDEB1.
