Transmitted by insect vectors, human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis cause millions of infections, which are often fatal unless treated with toxic drugs. Although there are promising new therapeutics for HAT , development of reliable, safe, and affordable drugs for Chagas disease and leishmaniasis remains challenging. On page 1349 of this issue, Raoet al.introduce cyanotriazoles (CTs), a new class of compounds with potent and broad trypanocidal activity. These covalent inhibitors of topoisomerase II, an enzyme involved in nuclear DNA replication, show high efficacy in clearing trypanosomes and leishmania parasites from infected animals, efficient tissue distribution, and low toxicity in the mammalian host. Acting on a different target than those of existing interventions, these drug candidates bring the possibility of eradication and effective management of many neglected tropical diseases.
