Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) is an essential Trypanosoma cruzi enzyme and one of the few validated drug targets for Chagas disease. The known inhibitors of this enzyme behave poorly or have low activity in the parasite. In this work, we used symmetrical diarylideneketones derived from structures with trypanosomicidal activity. We obtained an enzymatic inhibitor with an IC50value of 86 nm without inhibition effects on the mammalian enzyme. These molecules also affected cruzipain, another essential proteolytic enzyme of the parasite. This dual activity is important to avoid resistance problems. The compounds were studied in vitro against the epimastigote form of the parasite, and nonspecific toxicity to mammalian cells was also evaluated. As a proof of concept, three of the best derivatives were also assayed in vivo. Some of these derivatives showed higher in vitro trypanosomicidal activity than the reference drugs and were effective in protecting infected mice. In addition, these molecules could be obtained by a simple and economic green synthetic route, which is an important feature in the research and development of future drugs for neglected diseases.

The invention provides a method for preparing alpha and beta-unsaturated ketone. The method includes that L-proline is used as a catalyst, secondary amine is used as a cocatalyst, and the alpha and beta-unsaturated ketone can be directly synthesized in alcohol or ketone solution by means of aldol condensation under neutral conditions at one step. Compared with the traditional method, the method has the advantages that raw materials are easily available, the method is low in cost and is environmental friendly, reaction conditions are mild, solvents are clean and environmental friendly, equipment can be protected against corrosion under the neutral conditions, the catalyst is high in acid resistance, and the method is applicable to industrial production.
