The present report deals with the alterations produced by cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (DDP), and 2 of its analogs: cis-Pt(II)(tranylcypromine)2Cl2 and cis-Pt(II)(benzothiazole)2Cl2 in cultured epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. Studies have been performed at the ultrastructural level and the inhibitory effect of these complexes on macromolecule synthesis, evaluated by 3H-thymidine, 3H-uridine, and 3H-leucine incorporation, has been investigated. DDP at concentrations of 50 and 100 micrograms/ml does not inhibit significantly the incorporation of radioactive precursors, but a clear decrease was observed with the 2 analogs. Eight hours of treatment at a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml rendered in all 3 cases an increase in autophagic vacuoles and lipids as well as an abnormal condensation of the nucleus chromatin.
