Article Abstract
Trypanothione reductase (TR) is found in the trypanosomatid parasites, where it catalyses the NADPH-dependent reduction of the glutathione analogue, trypanothione, and is a key player in the parasite's defenses against oxidative stress. TR is a promising target for the development of antitrypanosomal drugs; here, we report our synthesis and evaluation of compounds 3-5 as low micromolar Trypanosoma cruzi TR inhibitors. Although 4 and 5 were designed as potential irreversible inhibitors, these compounds, as well as 3, displayed reversible competitive inhibition. Compound 3 proved to be the most potent inhibitor, with a K(i) = 2 µM.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been extensively studied as efficient photocatalysts for water splitting. However, the utilization efficiency of photogenerated carriers remains a major limitation for their practical applications. An effective approach to address this issue is the construction of Z-scheme heterostructures.

The development of synthetically-useful biocatalysts requires characterizing the behavior of an enzyme under conditions amenable to preparative-scale reactions. Whole cells harboring the catalyst of interest are often used in such reactions, as protein purification is laborious and expensive. However, monitoring reaction rates when using whole cells is challenging, as cellular debris precludes the use of a continuous assay.
