N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)glutathione dibutyl diester is inhibitory to melarsoprol resistant cell lines overexpressing the T. bruceiMRPA transporter
A series of glutathione derivatives 1-4, modified at the N,S and/or COOH sites, with in vitro antitrypanosomal activity were tested against bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei 247 wild type and a T. b. brucei 247 strain over-expressing the multiple drug resistance protein (MRPA) by 50-100x to assess...

| Summary: | A series of glutathione derivatives 1-4, modified at the N,S and/or COOH sites, with in vitro antitrypanosomal activity were tested against bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei 247 wild type and a T. b. brucei 247 strain over-expressing the multiple drug resistance protein (MRPA) by 50-100x to assess the susceptibility of these compounds to resistance by the TbMRP protein. Of the compounds tested, only compound 1 inhibited both bloodstream form T. brucei and T. bruceiMRPA, with a resistance factor of 1.4, indicating it to be an inhibitor of this protein and proteins acting in synergy with the transporter, whilst 2 & 3 and its derivatives showed reduced inhibitory activity against T. bruceiMRPA, indicating them to be substrates and susceptible to resistance. |
