Design, synthesis, structure-activity relationship and mechanism of action studies of a series of 4-chloro-1-phthalazinyl hydrazones as a potent agent against Leishmania braziliensis
文摘
New phthalazine analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated against L. braziliensis. Nitroheterocyclic moiety plays an important role in the antileishmanial activity of these phthalazines. The compound 3l exhibited a significant antileishmanial response, without affecting viability of the macrophage cells. The SOD and DHFR inhibition assays and oxidative stress experiments were also conducted.
