Impact of Conformations and Size on the Antileishmanial Activity of New Quinazoline Derivatives
There is an urgency of finding molecules
available to treat Leishmaniasis, which is one of the significant issues of
health in undeveloped countries. For that reason is needed to explore molecular
diversity to find novel scaffolds. Fluorinated and adamantane derivatives exhibit
a formidable starting point. They are proved to improve the antileishmanial
activity when attached to molecules already active as we have shown in this
paper. Particularly fluorinated methoxy and ethoxy derivatives can increase its
volume depending on the number of fluorine, a unique behaviour that can be
exploited for molecular drug design purposes
