Abstract

Searching for prospective vanadium-based agents against Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite causing Chagas disease, four new [VVO(8HQ–H)(L–2H)] compounds, where 8HQ is 8-hydroxyquinoline and L are tridentate salicylaldehyde semicarbazone derivatives L1–L4, were synthesized and characterized in the solid state and in solution. The compounds were evaluated on T. cruzi epimastigotes (CL Brener) as well as on VERO cells, as mammalian cell model. Compounds showed activity against T. cruzi (IC50 6.2–10.5 μM) of the same order than Nifurtimox and 8HQ, and a four- to sevenfold activity increase with respect to the free semicarbazones. For comparison, [VVO2(L–H)] series was prepared and the new [VVO2(L3–H)] was fully characterized. They showed negligible activity and low selectivity towards the parasite. The inclusion of 8HQ as ligand in [VVO(8HQ–H)(L–2H)] compounds led to good activities and increased selectivity towards the parasite with respect to 8HQ. 51V NMR experiments, performed to get insight into the nature of the active species, suggested partial decomposition of the compounds in solution to [VVO2(L–H)] and 8HQ. Depending on the dose, the compounds act as trypanocide or trypanostatic. A high uptake of vanadium in the parasites (58.51–88.9% depending on dose) and a preferential accumulation in the soluble protein fraction of the parasite was determined. Treated parasites do not seem to show a late apoptotic/necrotic phenotype suggesting a different cell death mechanism. In vivo toxicity study on zebrafish model showed no toxicity up to a 25 µM concentration of [VVO(8HQ–H)(L1–2H)]. These compounds could be considered prospective anti-T. cruzi agents that deserve further research.
