The current therapeutic regimen for visceral leishmaniasis is inadequate and unsatisfactory due to toxic side effects, high cost and emergence of drug resistance. Alternative, safe and affordable antileishmanials are, therefore, urgently needed and toward these we synthesized a series of arylpiperazine substituted pyranone derivatives and screened them against both in vitro and in vivo model of visceral leishmaniasis. Among 22 synthesized compounds, 5a and 5g showed better activity against intracellular amastigotes with an IC50 of 11.07 μM and 15.3 μM, respectively. In the in vivo, 5a significantly reduced hepatic and splenic amastigotes burden in Balb/c mice model of visceral leishmaniasis. On a mechanistic node, we observed that 5a induced direct Leishmania killing via mitochondrial dysfunction like cytochrome c release and loss of membrane potential. Taken together, our results suggest that 5a is a promising lead for further development of antileishmanial drugs.

D000077489 Piperazine An anti-nematodal agent effective against the intestinal nematodes ASCARIS LUMBRICOIDES (roundworm) and ENTEROBIUS VERMICULARIS (pinworm, threadworm). It produces a neuromuscular block leading to flaccid muscle paralysis in susceptible worms, which are then dislodged from the gut and expelled in feces. 1,4-Diazacyclohexane,1,4-Piperazine,Piperazine Diacetate,Piperazine Dihydrochloride,Piperazine Hexahydrate,Piperazine Hydrate,Piperazine Hydrobromide,Piperazine Hydrochloride,Piperazine Monohydrochloride,Piperazine Phosphate,Piperazine Phosphate (1:1),Piperazine Phosphate Anhydrous,Piperazine Salt,Piperazine Sulfate,Piperazine Tartrate,Piperazine Tartrate (1:1), (R-(R*,R*))-isomer,Piperazine Tartrate, (R-(R*,R*))-isomer,Piperazinium Oleate,Pripsen,1,4 Diazacyclohexane,1,4 Piperazine
