DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Fogarty International Research Collaboration Award (FIRCA) application has been designed to expand and enhance the parent grant P01 CA78039 (Project PI Wipf, Peter), and to expand and increase the research capacity of the foreign scientist (Dr. Mahler, S. Graciela) and the foreign institution (University of the Republic, Montevideo Uruguay). Specific aims are: 1. Design and synthesis of new scaffolds to generate dynamic combinatorial libraries: (a) using pyrazolotriazinones and aldehydes as building blocks; (b) using new heterocyclic systems with aldehydes as building blocks. 2. Identify compounds with biological significance for Chagas disease: (a) test the libraries using the enzyme cruzipain in order to identify inhibitors by changes in the library distributionor by dynamic deconvolution; (b) compounds showing affinity to cruzipain will be submitted for in vitro cruzipain inhibition; (c) compounds having good inhibition activities will be submitted to a Trypanosoma cruzi growth inhibition assay in vitro, in order to evaluate the trypanocidal activity. The biological assay will be carried out by Prof. Cazzulo at Universidad Nacional de San Martin, San Martin, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. This proposal and the parent grant thus share common goals related to the development of dynamic combinatorial methodologies to achieve these objectives. Chagas disease, caused by Tripanosoma cruzi, is a major public health problem in Latin America, where it constitutes one of the largest parasitic disease burdens. The treatment of this condition has been controversial, but there is a growing consensus that elimination of T. cruzi could be a prerequisite to arrest the evolution of the disease. Currently available chemotherapy, based on a nifurtimox and benznidazol, is unsatisfactory because of their limited efficacy in the prevalent chronic stage of the disease and their toxic side effects. New approaches to specific chemotherapy are being advanced; biochemical routes like cruzipain-mediated proteolysis have been chemically validated and selective in vitro and in vivo anti-T. cruzi activities of inhibitors of this pathway have been demonstrated. Successful completion of the major aims of this program will provide a new lead in cruzipain inhibition abd open up the possibility to find a new drug-like molecule useful in Chagas disease as well as new exchange reactions useful for the generation of dynamic combinatorial libraries Chagas disease, caused by Tripanosoma cruzi, is a major public health problem in Latin America, where it constitutes one of the largest parasitic disease burdens.

描述(由申请人提供)：Fogarty国际研究合作奖(FIRCA)的申请旨在扩大和加强P01 CA78039(皮特·皮威夫项目)的父母资助，并扩大和提高外国科学家(马勒博士，S.Graciela博士)和外国机构(共和国大学，蒙得维的亚乌拉圭)的研究能力。具体目标是：1.设计和合成生成动态组合文库的新支架：(A)使用吡唑三氮酮和醛作为构建块；(B)使用以醛为构建块的新杂环体系。2.鉴定对恰加斯病具有生物学意义的化合物：(A)使用CRUZIPIN酶对文库进行测试，以便通过改变文库分布或通过动态去卷积来确定抑制剂；(B)对CRUZIPIN具有亲和力的化合物将被提交体外CRUZIPIN抑制；(C)具有良好抑制活性的化合物将被提交体外克氏锥虫生长抑制试验，以评价其杀锥虫活性。生物化验将由卡祖洛教授在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯省圣马丁国立大学进行。因此，这项提案和母方赠款在开发动态组合方法以实现这些目标方面有着共同的目标。查加斯病是由克氏三盘虫引起的，是拉丁美洲的一个主要公共卫生问题，构成了最大的寄生虫病负担之一。这种疾病的治疗一直存在争议，但越来越多的人达成共识，认为根除克鲁兹旋毛虫可能是阻止疾病演变的先决条件。目前可用的以硝呋莫司和苯硝唑为基础的化疗并不令人满意，因为它们在疾病的慢性期疗效有限，而且有毒副作用。针对特定化疗的新方法正在发展中；化学途径，如克鲁兹痛介导的蛋白质分解，已经在体外和体内得到了化学验证和选择性的抗T。这一途径的抑制剂的CRUZI活性已被证明。这一计划的主要目标的成功完成将为抑制查加斯病提供新的先导，并为发现可用于查加斯病的新的类药物分子以及用于生成动态组合文库的新的交换反应打开可能性。查加斯病是拉丁美洲的一个主要公共卫生问题，构成了最大的寄生虫病负担之一。这种疾病的治疗一直存在争议，但越来越多的人达成共识，认为根除克鲁兹旋毛虫可能是阻止疾病演变的先决条件。
