General Information

General Information Comment Organism
drug target Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis. Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates, a current treatment for bone diseases, have been shown to block the growth of the Trypanosoma brucei parasites by inhibiting farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase. However, due to their poor pharmacokinetic properties, they are not well suited for antiparasitic therapy. Tthe discovery of new binding sites and non-bisphosphonate binders is a critical step towards the investigation of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase as a drug target for human African trypanosomiasis and opens up the possibility of a fragment-to-lead optimisation program Trypanosoma brucei
