Distamycin, a natural polyamide containing three heterocycle rings with a polar end, has inspired several groups to prepare synthetic analogues, which proved to have anti-trypanosomal and anti-tumoral activity. We describe the synthesis of bi and tri thiazoles amides that harbor different substitutions at their ends and the evaluation of their anti-Trypanosoma brucei activity. The most active compound 10b showed better biological activity (EC50310 nM and selectivity index 16) than the control drug nifurtimox (EC5015 μM and selectivity index 10). Studies on the mode of action show that the parasiticidal activity of 10b originates from disruption of lysosomal homeostasis, which is followed by release of redox active iron, an increase in oxidizing species and collapse of cell membrane integrity. In this respect, our study suggests that non-charged lipophylic distamycins destabilize cell membranes.

A rapid and efficient methodology to prepare 2,4′-bi-1,3-azoles as scaffolds for biologically active marine natural products is described. Hantzsch reaction and oxidative cyclodehydration of β-hydroxy amides or thioamides were used to construct the azole rings. The obtained biheterocycles displayed no cytotoxicity on HCT-15 cell line.
