Trypanosomiasis Treatment Pharmaceutical Grade CAS 22994-85-0 Benznidazole Powder Top Quality Benznidazole

Benznidazole is a monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of (2-nitroimidazol-1-yl)acetic acid with the aromatic amino group of benzylamine. Used for treatment of Chagas disease. It has a role as an antiprotozoal drug. It is a member of imidazoles, a C-nitro compound and a monocarboxylic acid amide.|Benznidazole was granted accelerated approval for the treatment of Chagas disease in children 2-12 years of age by the FDA on August 29, 2017. It is the first treatment made available in the United States for Chagas disease.|Benznidazole is an orally available, broad spectrum antimicrobial agent used in the treatment of Chagas disease. Benznidazole is a nitroimidazole similar to metronidazole and is associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy in up to 10% of patients but has not linked to cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury.|Benznidazole is a nitroimidazole derivative having an antiprotozoal activity by interfering with parasite protein biosynthesis, influencing cytokines production and stimulating host phagocytosis. (NCI)
Benznidazole is the second of the drugs approved for treatment of Chagas' disease. Like nifurtimox, it is effective against the circulating form of Trypanosoma cruzi during the acute phase of the disease, but also like nifurtimox, it is ineffective during the chronic stage of the disease.
Benznidazole is an orally bioavailable antiprotozoal agent. It is a 2-nitroimidazole prodrug that becomes active when the nitro group is reduced within the parasite. It inhibits the growth of the parasitesT. cruzi,T. vaginalis,G. lamblia, andE. histolytica(IC50s = 8.1, 18.62, 22.58, and 4.27 μM, respectively). It also inhibits clonogenic growth of human C33A cervical and KNS42 glioblastoma cancer cells under hypoxic, but not normoxic, conditions when used at a concentration of 100 μM. Benznidazole (100 mg/kg per day) decreasesT. cruziblood parasitemia to below detectable levels in a mouse model of chronic stable Chagas disease. Formulations containing benznidazole have been used in the treatment of Chagas disease caused byT. cruzi.
