Chagas disease continues to be a difficult disease to eradicate, largely because of the widespread populations it affects as well as the highly toxic effects of current therapies. Thus, the exploration of innovative scaffolds, ideally with distinct mechanisms of action, is urgently needed. The natural product aphidicolin and its effects on cell cycle division have been widely studied; it is a potent inhibitor of parasitic cells. In the present study, we report for the first time the semisynthesis of a series of aphidicolin derivatives, their unique structural features, and demonstration of their activity against T. cruzi cells. Two demonstrated high potency and selectivity against parasitic amastigote cells, and thus show promise as new leads for Chagas disease treatment.
