Leishmania major, as other protozoan parasites, plague human kind since pre-historic times but it remains a worldwide ailment for which the therapeutic arsenal remains scarce. Although L.?major is pteridine- and purine-auxotroph, well-established folate biosynthesis inhibitors, such as methotrexate, have poor effect over the parasite survival. The lack of efficiency is related to an alternative biochemical pathway in which pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) plays a major role. For this reason, this enzyme has been considered a promising target for anti-leishmanial drug development and several inhibitors that share the substrate scaffold have been reported. In order to design a novel class of PTR1 inhibitors, we employed the thiazolidinone ring as a bioisosteric replacement for pteridine/purine ring. Among seven novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives reported herein, 2d was identified as the most promising lead by thermal shift assays (ΔTm?=?11?°C, p?=?0,01). Kinetic assays reveal that 2d has IC50?=?44.67?±?1.74?μM and shows a noncompetitive behavior. This information guided docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations (50?000?ps) that supports 2d putative binding profile (H-bonding to Ser-111 and Leu-66) and shall be useful to design more potent inhibitors.
