Cysteine protease inhibitors with applications in tropical infectious diseases

Cysteine protease inhibitors with applications in tropical infectious diseases

The invention consists in new compounds that show a powerful inhibitory activity against protease cysteine-type therapeutic targets, which makes them powerful drugs for use against tropical diseases such as sleeping sickness, Chagas disease or malaria, while they also display a low degree of toxicity. Cell trials show that the new chemical compounds selectively inhibit the development of the protozoa that cause these diseases in human cells.
