Two obligate intracellular parasites, Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, and Toxoplasma gondii, an agent of toxoplasmosis, upregulate the mevalonate pathway of their host cells upon infection, which suggests that this host pathway could be a potential drug target. In this work, a number of compounds structurally related to WC-9 (4-phenoxyphenoxyethyl thiocyanate), a known squalene synthase inhibitor, were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their effect on T. cruzi and T. gondii growth in tissue culture cells. Two fluorine-containing derivatives, the 3-(3-fluorophenoxy)- and 3-(4-fluorophenoxy)phenoxyethyl thiocyanates, exhibited half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 1.6 and 4.9 μm, respectively, against tachyzoites of T. gondii, whereas they showed similar potency to WC-9 against intracellular T. cruzi (EC50values of 5.4 and 5.7 μm, respectively). In addition, 2-[3- (phenoxy)phenoxyethylthio]ethyl-1,1-bisphosphonate, which is a hybrid inhibitor containing 3-phenoxyphenoxy and bisphosphonate groups, has activity against T. gondii proliferation at sub-micromolar levels (EC50=0.7 μm), which suggests a combined inhibitory effect of the two functional groups.

Several drugs bearing the 4-phenoxyphenoxy skeleton and other closely related structures were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antiproliferative agents against Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas' disease. The new class of drugs was envisioned by modifying the nonpolar 4-phenoxyphenoxy moiety replacing selected aromatic protons by different groups via electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions as well as introducing a sulfur atom at file polar extreme. Of the designed compounds, sulfur-containing derivatives were shown to be potent antireplicative agents against T. cruzi. Among these drugs, 4-phenoxyphenoxyethyl thiocyanate (compound 56) proved to be an extremely active growth inhibitor of the epimastigote forms of T. cruzi and displayed an IC500 of 2.2 μM. Under the same assay conditions, this drug was much more active than Nifurtimox, one of the drugs currently in clinical use to control this disease. This thiocyanate derivative was also a very active inhibitor against the intracellular form of the parasite at the nanomolar level. Other sulfur derivatives prepared also exhibited very potent antiproliferative action against T. cruzi. The presence of a sulfur atom at the polar extreme for this family of compounds seems to be very important for biological action because this atom was always associated with high inhibition values. 4-Phenoxyphenoxyethyl thiocyanate presents very good prospective not only as a lead drug but also as a potential chemotherapeutic agent.
