A library of hCatL inhibitors was screened, and macrocyclic lactams were identified as potent RD inhibitors (Ki < 10 nM), preventing the cell-growth of T. b. rhodesiense (IC50 < 400 nM). SARs addressing the S2 and S3 pockets of RD were established. Three cocrystal structures with RD revealed a non-covalent binding mode of this ligand class, due to oxidation of the catalytic Cys25 to a sulfenic acid (Cys-SOH) during crystallization. The P-glycoprotein efflux ratio was measured and the in vivo brain penetration in rats determined. When tested in vivo in acute HAT model, the compounds permitted up to 16.25 (vs. 13.0 for untreated controls) mean days of survival.
