| Broad Institute MLPCN T. Cruzi Inhibition Project - BioAssay Summary The main goal is to identify new drugs for the treatment of Chagas disease. New drugs are needed because the only two drugs currently available are only effective against the early stages of disease and have significant toxicity to the patient. No drug is available to treat the chronic stage. This assay approach is intended to select drugs that will be effective against the early stages of more .. |

Description: Primary Collaborators: Ana Rodriguez, New York University, Ana.Rodriguez@nyumc.org Esther Bettiol,Merck/Serano,estherbettiol@hotmail.com Probes: ML157, ML158, ML164 Biological Relevance: The main goal is to identify new drugs for the treatment of Chagas disease. New drugs are needed because the only two drugs currently available are only effective against the early stages of disease and have significant toxicity to the patient. No drug is available to treat the chronic stage. This assay approach is intended to select drugs that will be effective against the early stages of disease when parasites are found mainly extracellularly, but also drugs that will be effective against the chronic stage, where parasites are found inside host cells. Therefore we will select drugs that are either trypanostatic (expected to be effective in the acute phase of disease) or trypanocidal (expected to be effective against the chronic stage).
