The enzyme pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) is a potential target for new compounds to treat human African trypanosomiasis. A virtual screening campaign for fragments inhibiting PTR1 was carried out. Two novel chemical series were identified containing aminobenzothiazole and aminobenzimidazole scaffolds, respectively. One of the hits (2-amino-6-chloro-benzimidazole) was subjected to crystal structu...

Magnetic Cellulose/Fe3O4/Co3O4 nanocomposite as a new catalyst was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, TEM, ICP-AES and VSM techniques. The catalytic activity of this heterogeneous catalyst was studied through one-pot synthesis of 1-((benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)(aryl)-methyl)naphthalen-2-ol derivatives from three component reactions of aromatic aldehydes, 2-aminobenzothiazole,...
