Abstract

The presence of a structural recognition motif for the nucleoside P2 transporter in a library of pyrimidine and triazine non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors, prompted for the evaluation of antitrypanosomal activity. It was demonstrated that the structure-activity relationship for anti-HIV and antitrypanosomal activity was different. Optimization in the diaryl triazine series led to 6-(mesityloxy)-N2-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (69), a compound with potent in vitro and moderate in vivo antitrypanosomal activity.
