Introduction Women with Chagas disease receiving treatment with nifurtimox are discouraged from breast feeding. Many patients who would receive treatment with nifurtimox live in extreme poverty, have limited access to resources such as clean water and baby formula and may not have safe alternatives to breast milk.. Aim We aimed to estimate, using limited available pharmacokinetics data, potential infant exposure to nifurtimox through breast milk.. Methods Original nifurtimox plasma concentrations were obtained from published studies. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using non-linear mixed-effect modelling with NONMEM V.VI. A total of 1000 nifurtimox plasma-concentration profiles were simulated and used to calculate the amount of drug that an infant would be exposed to, if breast fed 150 ml/kg/day.. Results Breast milk concentrations on the basis of peak plasma levels (1361 ng/ml) and milk-plasma ratio were estimated. We calculated infant nifurtimox exposure of a breastfed infant of a ...

It has been more than 25 years since it was first reported that nifurtimox and benznidazole promote superoxide production in trypanosomes. However, there has been no direct evidence of an association between the drug-induced free radicals and trypanocidal activity. Here, we identify a superoxide dismutase required to protect Trypanosoma brucei from drug-generated superoxide.. ...

Recently, the World Health Organization approved the nifurtimox-eflornithine combination therapy for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis, renewing interest in nitroheterocycle therapies for this and associated diseases. In this study, we h

Accepted 22 April 2009. Code Number: oc09127 ABSTRACT. Treatments for Chagas disease have been administered since the first attempts by Mayer & Rocha Lima (1912, 1914) and up to the drugs currently in use (nifurtimox and benznidazole), along with potential drugs such as allopurinol and first, second and third-generation antifungal agents (imidazoles and triazoles), in separate form. Several diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy and AIDS only came under control after they were treated with associations of drugs with different mechanisms of action. This not only boosts the action of the different compounds, but also may avoid the development of parasite resistance .To this end, over the short term, we propose experimental studies on laboratory animals and clinical trials with the following associations: (i) nifurtimox (8 mg/kg/day) + benznidazole (5 mg/kg/day) x 60 consecutive days; (ii) nifurtimox (8 mg/kg/day) or benznidazole (5 mg/kg/day) + allopurinol (8-10 mg/kg/day) x 60 days and (iii) ...

Chagas disease is a parasitic disease caused by the kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The disease is a problem, not only in the regions of endemicity in Latin America, but also more globally because of migration (1, 2). Disease progression is characterized by an initial acute phase, with symptoms such as fever and local inflammation, followed by a long, symptomless indeterminate phase. In a subset of people, the disease develops into a symptomatic, chronic phase with cardiomyopathy and mega-organ disease as the main manifestations. Approximately 2% of infected people develop cardiac problems annually (3), with an associated death toll of around 10,000 per year (2). Treatment for Chagas disease is currently limited to the two nitroheterocyclic drugs benznidazole and nifurtimox. Benznidazole is typically used as front-line treatment, as it is better tolerated than nifurtimox, notwithstanding a 10% treatment discontinuation rate due to its own side effects (4). New, better-tolerated ...

Abstract Experimental studies were undertaken in tissue culture and mice infected with a cloned derivative of Trypanosoma cruzi, Y strain to determine the efficacy of two 2-substituted 5-nitroimidazole compounds, MK-436 and L634,549. The use of an X-irradiated myoblast culture system proved better than a conventional fibroblast culture for assaying the activity of compounds against intracellular parasite stages. MK-436 showed activity against amastigotes at a level of 25 µg/ml and L634,549 a dihydroxy metabolite of MK-436 showed activity 2 µg/ml. Neither compound caused morphological damage to the host cells at levels tested (250 µg/ml). By contrast, nifurtimox, which was active at 2 µg/ml, caused significant host cell damage at 100 µg/ml. In mice, studies in the chronic infection showed that MK-436 was curative at a level of 30 mg/kg if given daily for 20 days. Neither nifurtimox nor benznidazole were fully curative when given at a level of 100 mg/kg daily for 20 days. These studies showed that

Abstract Immunoglobulin M, G, and A concentrations were studied by radial immunodiffusion technique in 16 individuals (two were 16 and 14 yr of age, respectively, while the remaining 14 were 12 yr of age or less) with acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection. Serum samples were obtained from these patients beginning with the onset of symptoms and continuing until several months after treatment with nifurtimox was completed. Soon after infection the concentration of IgM was higher than the average found in healthy children. Some of the samples also had higher values than those found in children with other acute infections. At this time isolated increases in IgG and/or IgA concentrations were also found in T. cruzi-infected patients. Immunoglobulin concentrations had usually returned to normal when treatment with nifurtimox was completed, both in the patients with negative serology and in those who remained positive. However, some of the sera showed isolated higher IgM, IgG, and/or IgA values than those found in

There is currently no curative treatment for children with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma, and for these children the 5 year survival rate is

Two drugs exist to treat Chagas disease: benznidazole and nifurtimox. They are both administered orally over a period of 60 to 90 days, and medical supervision is necessary as they are not exempt of adverse effects, although they are better tolerated in children. The younger the patient and the more recent the infection, the more effective the treatment. Treatment thus is recommended in all patients with acute, congenital, or reactivated forms of Chagas disease. Reactivation can occur in immunocompromised patients (e.g. those with HIV co-infection). In the case of chronic disease, current recommendations suggest that all patients under 60 years of age with positive serology for Trypanosoma cruzi be treated to prevent against heart and digestive complications. No valid markers for monitoring treatment response have yet been developed. Polymerase chain reaction-based detection of T. cruzi infection indicates treatment failure, but a negative result does not necessarily imply treatment success. ...

Current treatment is dependent on two drugs, benznidazole or nifurtimox, both of which are highly effective when therapy is initiated at the onset of infection and during the acute phase of the disease. However, very few patients are diagnosed in the acute stages because many people are asymptomatic when first infected, or because the patients do not have access to proper diagnosis and treatment.. The efficacy of both drugs for many patients with chronic Chagas disease diminishes the longer a person has been infected. Available drug treatments have a high level of toxicity and cause side effects severe enough to require interruption of treatment in some patients. Thus, the benefits of medication in preventing or delaying the development of Chagas disease has to be weighed against the long duration of treatment (up to two months) and relatively high rates of adverse reactions that occur in up to 40 percent of treated patients. Additionally, there is currently no available drug intervention for ...

This disease, first described by Carlos Chagas in 1909, is an infection caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T.cruzi). The disease is endemic in Latin American countries, with an increasing number of cases detected in the United States, Australia, and Japan. Currently,11 million people are infected with the disease, and it is recognized as an emerging infection in many countries including the US, Japan, Spain and Australia. Although it has become a leading cause of heart failure in several countries, the only drugs that are approved are benznidazole and nifurtimox. Both of these drugs have severe side effects such as neurological effects, allergic dermatitis, and GI intolerance in addition to a lack of efficacy on late-stage disease. As a result, there is a need for new approaches and drugs to treat the disease ...

A little-known but potentially deadly parasite from Latin America has become one of the latest threats to the blood and organ supplies in the United States, especially in Los Angeles, where many donors have traveled to affected countries, health officials say.. Last year, two heart transplant patients at different Los Angeles hospitals contracted the parasitic disease, called Chagas, causing health authorities to issue a national bulletin. Within months, both patients subsequently died, although not directly from Chagas, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.. The parasite, which is generally passed to humans from a blood-sucking insect that looks like a striped cockroach, can feed over years on tissues of the heart and gastrointestinal tract. After decades, tissues can be eroded so much that the organs fail.. {snip}. If caught early, strong anti-protozoal drugs such as nifurtimox can bring the parasite to undetectable levels or, in some cases, eliminate it ...

The nitroheterocycle nifurtimox, as part of a nifurtimox-eflornithine combination therapy, represents one of a limited number of treatments targeting Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis. The mode of action of this prodrug involves an initial activation reaction catalysed by a type I nitroreductase (NTR), an enzyme found predominantly in prokaryotes, leading to the formation of a cytotoxic unsaturated open chain nitrile metabolite. Here, we evaluate the trypanocidal activity of a library of other 5-nitrofurans against bloodstream form T. brucei as a preliminary step in the identification of additional nitroaromatic compounds that could potentially partner eflornithine. Biochemical screening against purified enzyme revealed that all 5-nitrofurans were effective substrates for TbNTR with the preferred compounds having apparent k(cat)/K(M) values approximately 50-fold greater than nifurtimox. For several compounds, in vitro reduction by this nitroreductase ...

In a recent decision dated 26th June, 2018, the Assistant Controller of Patents and Designs exercised his power under Section 15 of the Patents Act, 1970 (the Act) and rejected the bid for a patent application. Below, I give a brief description of the patent application and the reasons which led the Controller to come to such a decision, before analyzing the final order.. About the Patent Application. The applicant, Bayer Intellectual Property Gmbh (Initially, Bayer Animal Health Gmbh was the applicant and they later assigned their patent rights to the present applicant), had applied for patent application number 9382/DELNP/2010 for a pharmaceutical invention entitled Use of nifurtimox for treating giardiasis on 31st December, 2010. A perusal of the abstract, claims and full description reveals that the said application proposed several compositions containing nifurtimox and an anthelmintic (anti-parasitic drug) for treatment of giardiasis (a particularly nasty intestinal infection caused by ...

Treatment is urgently indicated for anyone during the acute phase and for those in whom the infection has been reactivated. In these situations, treatment is almost 100% effective, and the disease can be completely cured.. During the acute phase, Chagas disease can be treated with two antiparasitic medicines: benznidazole* and nifurtimox*. Both medicines are nearly 100% effective in curing the disease if given soon after infection, including the cases of congenital transmission. The efficacy of both diminishes, however, the longer a person has been infected, and the risk of adverse reactions increases with age.. Once Chagas disease reaches the chronic phase, medications wont cure the disease, but they may help slow the progression of the disease and its most serious complications. Adults, especially those with the indeterminate form of the disease, should be offered treatment, but its potential benefits in preventing or delaying the development of Chagas disease should be weighed against the ...

Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which affects underdeveloped countries. The current drugs of choice are nifurtimox and benznidazole, but both have severe adverse effects and less effectivity in chronic infections; therefore, the need to discover new drugs is essential. A computer-guided drug repositioning method was applied to identify potential FDA drugs (approved and withdrawn) as cruzain (Cz) inhibitors and trypanocidal effects were confirmed by in vitro and in vivo studies. 3180 FDA drugs were virtually screened using a structure-based approach. From a first molecular docking analysis, a set of 33 compounds with the best binding energies were selected. Subsequent consensus affinity binding, ligand amino acid contact clustering analysis, and ranked position were used to choose four known pharmacological compounds to be tested in vitro. Mouse blood samples infected with trypomastigotes from INC-5 and NINOA strains were used to test the trypanocidal

Case 1. In December 2005, a man aged 64 years with idiopathic cardiomyopathy received a heart transplant. In January 2006, he was treated with enhanced immunosuppression for suspected organ rejection. In February 2006, he was readmitted to the hospital with anorexia, fever, and diarrhea of 2 weeks duration. A peripheral blood smear revealed T. cruzi trypomastigotes, blood cultures were positive for T. cruzi, and endomyocardial biopsy specimens contained amastigotes. The patient was interviewed about natural exposures, and organ procurement and transplantation records were reviewed. He had no identifiable risk factors for T. cruzi infection (e.g., travel to a country endemic for Chagas disease). He was seronegative for T. cruzi antibodies but positive for T. cruzi DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), indicating recent infection. After initiation of nifurtimox therapy, his parasitemia rapidly cleared. However, in April 2006, the patient died from complications attributed to acute rejection of ...

The biosynthetic pigment from Chromobacterium violaceum BB-78, 1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one and its derivatives exhibit biological activities such as antimicrobial action, low hemolytic effects on red blood cells and in vitro trypanocide activity. A relatively high cytotoxicity on V-79 hamster fibroblast cells of the biosynthetic pigment was found, although with the methylol derivative the toxicity was almost eliminated. The methylol derivative exhibited similar toxicity as Nifurtimox, a known, commercial trypanocide compound ...

DISCUSSION Chagas disease has a broad variety of clinical presentations that may be the result either of heterogeneity among the T. cruzi isolates or of the host immune response (Brener 1980). Regarding to parasite, the infecting strain is a substantial determinant of the evolution of the disease (Montamat et al. 1999). The diversity in the clinical expression of infection has estimulated interest in studying biological, biochemical and genetic differences among strains. Analysis of natural populations of T. cruzi using either isoenzymes or kDNA sequences as genetic markers has revealed a basic clonal structure (Tibayrenc et al. 1986, Tibayrenc & Ayala 1988). Miles and coleagues (Miles et al. 1978, Ready & Miles 1980) defined three zymodemes termed Z1, Z2 and Z3, based on the analysis of stocks from the north and northeast of Brazil. When random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is applied to the study of parasite populations, Steindel et al. (1993) concluded that there is significant ...

The disease has an acute and chronic stage. The acute stage is not associated with symptoms in 95% of cases. Symptoms that do appear can include fever or swelling around the site where the parasite entered the body. While the acute stage does not often cause significant morbidity, children and immunosuppressed individuals have a higher risk of mortality.. The disease enters into the chronic stage post-infection, which can be a few weeks or longer after the acute stage. Many infected people remain asymptomatic for life. However, chronic infection can lead to serious complications and potentially death in an estimated 20-30% of infected individuals, usually 10-30 years after the initial infection. Complications include cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and neurological diseases.. ...

The neglected disease American trypanosomiasis is one of the major health problems in Latin America. Triosephosphate isomerase from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcTIM), the etiologic agent of this disease, has been proposed as a druggable target. Some bis-benzothiazoles have been described as irreversible inhibitors of this enzyme. On the other hand, new bioactive furane-containing thiazoles have been described as excellent in vivo anti-T. cruzi agents. This encouraged us to design and develop new bis-thiazoles with potential use as drugs for American trypanosomiasis. The bis-thiazol 5, 3,3-allyl-2,2-bis[3-(2-furyl)-2-propenylidenehydrazono]-2,2,3,3-tetrahydro-4,4-bisthiazole, showed the best in vitro anti-T. cruzi profile with a higher selectivity index than the reference drugs Nifurtimox and Benznidazole against amastigote form of the parasite. This derivative displayed marginal activity against TcTIM however the bis-thiazol 14, ...

Introduction. Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a major cause of illness, morbidity, long-term disability, and death in Latin America. It is estimated that about 16-18 million people are infected and other 100 million are at risk of infection, with more than 50,000 deaths each year. In spite of the alarming health, economic, and social consequences of this parasitic infection, the limited existing drug therapy (nifurtimox and benznidazole) suffers from a combination of drawbacks including poor efficacy, and serious side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new chemotherapeutic agents with novel mechanisms of action.1-3. Enzymes are extremely attractive targets for small molecule drug intervention in human diseases.1,2 One important drug target is the major cysteine protease from T. cruzi, cruzain (EC 3.4.22.51). This enzyme is implicated in several vital processes of the parasite, playing a pivotal role during the infection of host cells, ...

Mammalian cell invasion assays, using metacyclic trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi G and CL strains, showed that the CL strain enters target cells in several-fold higher numbers as compared with the G strain. Analysis of expression of surface glycoproteins in metacyclic forms of the two strains by iodination, immunoprecipitation and FACS, revealed that gp90, undetectable in the CL strain, is one of the major surface molecules in the G strain, that expression of gp82 is comparable in both strains and that gp35/50 is expressed at lower levels in the CL strain. Purified gp90 and gp35/50 bound more efficiently than gp82 to cultured HeLa cells. However, the intensity of the Ca2+ response triggered in HeLa cells by gp82 was significantly higher than that induced by gp35/50 or gp90. Most of the Ca2+ signalling activity of the metacyclic extract towards HeLa cells was due to gp82 and was inhibitable by gp82-specific monoclonal antibody 3F6. Ca2+ mobilization was also triggered in metacyclic ...

The most common adverse reactions in patients taking benznidazole were stomach pain, rash, decreased weight, headache, nausea, vomiting, abnormal white blood cell count, urticaria (hives), pruritus (itching) and decreased appetite. Benznidazole is associated with serious risks including serious skin reactions, nervous system effects and bone marrow depression. Based on findings from animal studies, benznidazole could cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.. Benznidazole was approved using the Accelerated Approval pathway. The Accelerated Approval pathway allows the FDA to approve drugs for serious conditions where there is unmet medical need and adequate and well-controlled trials establish that the drug has an effect on a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit to patients. Further study is required to verify and describe the anticipated clinical benefit of benznidazole.. The FDA granted benznidazole priority review and orphan product ...

Thats right: 2nd trip to L&D is in the bag. How did that happen? Well, it was what you might call a series of unfortunate events. I went in for an unscheduled visit on Monday due to some bad cramping and lower abdominal pain (which after all I went through over my 3 hour office visit, we never found the cause). It was my OBs surgery day, so I had to see an ARNP as all the other physicians schedules were filled with their own patients. I will admit that I kinda lost it when delivered the gestational diabetes news. I cried and let my hormones get the best of me. I am pregnant afer all. Then the ARNP decided I needed to have my cervix checked to ensure I wasnt dilating or softening. I will tell all of you, this hurts like hell. Really. I read lots of blogs and dont recall anyone ever complaining about this pain. So, this warning is for the rest of you behind me. It sucks. But, at least I wasnt dilated or effacing ...

False e. saddle-nose deformity. The acute phase may be asymptomatic. There may be a chagoma at the portal of entry. Hepatoslenomegaly and lymphadenopathy may occur in the acute phase. Some deaths occur as a result of cardiac failure and meningoencephalitis. Trypanosomes may be seen on a blood smear. Blood culture and xenodiagnosis increase diagnostic yield. If the diagnosis is made in this stage, treatment with nifurtimox or benzonidazole may reduce parasite numbers and the incidence of late complications. The intermediate phase is asymptomatic but there is laboratory evidence of infection. The chronic phase may occur decades after initial infection. Mega-oesophagus and dilated cardiomyopathy are typical.. Calabar swellings occur in loiasis. Saddle-nose deformity occurs in congenital syphilis, lepromatous leprosy and relapsing polychondritis. ...

The most frequent form of acquisition of Chagas disease in endemic areas was the transmission through the feces of contaminated triatominae. However, special attention should be paid in urban areas to transmission by blood transfusion, justifying the compulsory screening of blood donors. Early investigations at blood banks in the town of Londrina, Brazil, demonstrated that the seroprevalence of anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies among blood donors was approximately 7.0 in the fifties. Further studies demonstrated practically the same seroprevalence until the eighties. In an attempt to obtain data about the real dimension of the seropositivity for anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies in the region, the authors carried out a large-scale study on 45,774 serum samples from blood donors of the Hemocentro of Hospital Univesitário Regional do Norte do Paraná (HURNP), Universidade Estadual de Londrina. The immunological tests were done at the Division of Clinical Immunology of HURNP from May 1990 to ...
