Abstract
Thirty two analogues of phencyclidine were synthesised and tested as inhibitors of trypanothione reductase (TryR), a potential drug target in trypanosome and leishmania parasites. The lead compound BTCP (1, 1‐(1‐benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl‐cyclohexyl) piperidine) was found to be a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme (K~i~=1 μM) and biologically active against bloodstream T. brucei (EC~50~=10 μM), but with poor selectivity against mammalian MRC5 cells (EC~50~=29 μM). Analogues with improved enzymatic and biological activity were obtained. The structure–activity relationships of this novel series are discussed.
