Toxoplasma gondii causes a prevalent human infection for which only the acute stage has an FDA-approved therapy. To find inhibitors of both the acute stage parasites and the persistent cyst stage that causes a chronic infection, we repurposed a compound library containing known inhibitors of parasitic hexokinase, the first step in the glycolysis pathway, along with a larger collection of new structural derivatives. The focused screen of 22 compounds showed a 77% hit rate (>50% multistage inhibition) and revealed a series of aminobenzamide-linked picolinic acids with submicromolar potency against both T. gondii parasite forms. Picolinic acid 23, designed from an antiparasitic benzamidobenzoic acid class with challenging ADME properties, showed 60-fold-enhanced solubility, a moderate LogD7.4, and a 30% improvement in microsomal stability. Furthermore, isotopically labeled glucose tracing revealed that picolinic acid 23 does not function by hexokinase inhibition. Thus, we report a new probe scaffold to interrogate dual-stage inhibition of T. gondii.
