Trypanosoma cruzi: in vitro activity of Epoxy-α-Lap, a derivative of α-lapachone, on trypomastigote and amastigote forms

Chagas disease is an endemic parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi that affects 18–20 million people in Central and South America. Recently we described the Epoxy-α-Lap, an oxyran derivative of α-lapachone, which presents a low toxicity profile and a high inhibitory activity against T. cru...

description Chagas disease is an endemic parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi that affects 18–20 million people in Central and South America. Recently we described the Epoxy-α-Lap, an oxyran derivative of α-lapachone, which presents a low toxicity profile and a high inhibitory activity against T. cruzi epimastigotes forms, the non-infective form of this parasite. In this work we described the trypanocidal effects of Epoxy-α-Lap on extracellular (trypomastigote) and intracellular (amastigote) infective forms of two T. cruzi strains (Y and Colombian) known by their different infective profile. Our results showed that Epoxy-α-Lap is lethal to trypomastigote Y and Colombian strains (97% and 84%, respectively). Interestingly, Epoxy-α-Lap also showed a trypanocidal effect in human macrophage infected with T. cruzi Y (85.6%) and Colombian (71.9%) strains amastigote forms. Similar effects were observed on T. cruzi amastigote infected Vero cells (96.4% and 95.0%, respectively). Our results pointed Epoxy-α-Lap as a potential candidate for Chagas disease chemotherapy since it presents trypanocidal activity on all T. cruzi forms with low) toxicity profile .
