✦ Synopsis

The search for novel compounds of relevance to the treatment of diseases caused by trypanosomatid protozoan parasites continues. Screening of a large library of known bioactive compounds has led to several drug-like starting points for further optimisation. In this study, novel analogues of the monoamine uptake inhibitor indatraline were prepared and assessed both as inhibitors of trypanothione reductase (TryR) and against the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Although it proved difficult to significantly increase the potency of the original compound as an inhibitor of TryR, some insight into the preferred substituent on the amine group and in the two aromatic rings of the parent indatraline was deduced. In addition, detailed mode of action studies indicated that two of the inhibitors exhibit a mixed mode of inhibition.

Trypanothione synthetase (TryS) is essential for the survival of the protozoan parasite __Trypanosoma brucei__, which causes human African trypanosomiasis. It is one of only a handful of chemically validated targets for __T. brucei__ in vivo. To identify novel inhibitors of __Tb__TryS we screened ou

## 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 c
