Description
Summary:Neglected tropical diseases, such as leishmaniasis, lead to serious limitations to the affected societies. In this work, a structure–activity relationship (SAR) study was developed with a series of quinoxaline derivatives, active against the promastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis . As a result, a new quinoxaline derivative was designed and synthesized. In addition, a quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model was obtained [pIC 50  = − 1.51 − 0.96 (E HOMO ) + 0.02 (PSA); N = 17, R 2  = 0.980, R 2 Adj  = 0.977, s  = 0.103, and LOO-cv-R 2 (Q 2 ) = 0.971]. The activity of the new synthesized compound was estimated (pIC 50  = 5.88) and compared with the experimental result (pIC 50  = 5.70), which allowed to evaluate the good predictive capacity of the model.
