Abstract
Infection by Trichomonas vaginalis has a high incidence/prevalence worldwide. It has been associated with a predisposition to cervical neoplasia or prostate cancer and an increased risk of acquisition of human papillomavirus (HPV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Besides, resistance to the drugs used for trichomoniasis treatment has increased in the last 30 years. Herein, thirteen phenylthiazolylbenzene sulfonamides were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro activity against Trichomonas vaginalis. Among them, four derivatives showed higher anti-trichomonal activity than metronidazole (IC50 = 0.93 µM), while their cytotoxicity levels were not significant. These compounds were subject to molecular docking studies using Trichomonas vaginalis ferredoxin as target. The results revealed that the orientation of the nitro group of the active derivatives is toward [2Fe-2S], the cluster responsible for high reactive oxygen species generation. Finally, it was evident that the presence of a nitro group in the structure of the synthesized phenylthiazolylbenzene sulfonamides is essential for their trichomonicidal activity. Resumen. A nivel mundial la infección por Trichomonas vaginalis tiene una alta incidencia/prevalencia y se ha asociado con una predisposición a padecer neoplasia cervical o cáncer de próstata, así como a generar un mayor riesgo de adquirir el virus del papiloma humano (VPH) y el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). Además, en los últimos 30 años, la resistencia a los fármacos utilizados para el tratamiento de la tricomoniasis ha aumentado. En el presente trabajo, trece sulfonamidas de feniltiazolilbenceno fueron sintetizadas y evaluadas in vitro contra Trichomonas vaginalis. Cuatro de ellas exhibieron una actividad anti-tricomonas mayor que el metronidazol (CI50 = 0.93 µM), a la vez que citotoxicidad no significativa. Por tal motivo, estos compuestos fueron sometidos a estudios de acoplamiento molecular utilizando como diana a la ferredoxina de T. vaginalis. Los resultados revelaron que la orientación del grupo nitro de los derivados activos está dirigida hacia el grupo [2Fe-2S], responsable de la generación de especies de oxígeno altamente reactivas. Finalmente, se evidenció que la presencia de al menos un grupo nitro en la estructura de las sulfonamidas de feniltiazolilbenceno sintetizadas es esencial para su actividad tricomonicida.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Mexican Chemical Society (J. Mex. Chem. Soc.) is a scientific, blind, peer reviewed, and open access, free of charge publication that covers all areas of chemistry and its sub-disciplines (i.e. medicinal chemistry, natural products, electrochemistry, material science, computational chemistry, organic chemistry, bionirganic chemistry, etc). It is devoted to facilitating the worldwide advancement of our understanding of chemistry. It will primarily publish original contributions of research in all branches of the theory and practice of chemistry in its broadest context as well as critical reviews in active areas of chemical research where the author has published significant contribution. The J. Mex. Chem. Soc. is a quarterly publication which language of submission and publication is English. To be suitable for publication in J. Mex. Chem. Soc., manuscripts must describe novel aspects of chemistry, high quality of results and discussion an excellent bibliographic support, and contribute to the development of the field. Routine or incremental work are not suitable for publication in J. Mex. Chem. Soc. Authors are encouraged to send contributions in electronic form. Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files.
