The carbonic anhydrase enzymes as new targets for the management of neglected tropical diseases.
Diseases caused by protozoan parasites represent a huge challenge to global health care, due to the lack of selective and efficient treatments for the management and spreading of such complex pathologies. The protozoans Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) and Leishmania spp. are the etiological agents of the so-called neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), that is, Chagas disease (CD) and leishmaniasis, respectively. In such a context, the metalloenzymes carbonic anhydrases (CAs; EC 4.2.1.1) emerged as potential protozoan druggable enzymes, being involved in the parasites' life cycle. Several studies suggested the relevance of the protozoan-expressed CAs as future candidates for the management of NTDs.
期刊介绍:
Archiv der Pharmazie - Chemistry in Life Sciences is an international journal devoted to research and development in all fields of pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. Emphasis is put on papers combining synthetic organic chemistry, structural biology, molecular modelling, bioorganic chemistry, natural products chemistry, biochemistry or analytical methods with pharmaceutical or medicinal aspects such as biological activity. The focus of this journal is put on original research papers, but other scientifically valuable contributions (e.g. reviews, minireviews, highlights, symposia contributions, discussions, and essays) are also welcome.
