Abstract
CONTEXT Quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide is a scaffold with a wide array of biological activities, particularly its use to develop new antiparasitic agents. Recently, these compounds have been described as trypanothione reductase (TR), triosephosphate isomerase (TIM), and cathepsin-L (CatL) inhibitors from Trypanosoma cruzi, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Fasciola hepatica, respectively. METHODS Therefore, the main objective of this work was to analyze quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives of two databases (ZINC15 and PubChem) and literature by molecular docking, dynamic simulation and complemented by MMPBSA, and contact analysis of molecular dynamics' trajectory on the active site of the enzymes to know their potential effect inhibitory. Interestingly, compounds Lit_C777 and Zn_C38 show preference as potential TcTR inhibitors over HsGR, with favorable energy contributions from residues including Pro398 and Leu399 from Z-site, Glu467 from γ-Glu site, and His461, part of the catalytic triad. Compound Lit_C208 shows potential selective inhibition against TvTIM over HsTIM, with favorable energy contributions toward TvTIM catalytic dyad, but away from HsTIM catalytic dyad. Compound Lit_C388 was most stable in FhCatL with a higher calculated binding energy by MMPBSA analysis than HsCatL, though not interacting with catalytic dyad, holding favorable energy contribution from residues oriented at FhCatL catalytic dyad. Therefore, these kinds of compounds are good candidates to continue researching and confirming their activity through in vitro studies as new selective antiparasitic agents.

Synthesis and in vitro and in vivo biological evaluation of substituted nitroquinoxalin-2-ones and 2,3-diones as novel trichomonacidal agents. Eur J Med Chem 2015; 94:276-83.

Abstract
Two series of ten novel 7-nitroquinoxalin-2-ones and ten 6-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-diones with diverse substituents at positions 1 and 4 were synthesized and evaluated against the sexually transmitted parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Furthermore, diverse molecular and drug-likeness properties were analyzed to predict the oral bioavailability following the Lipinski's "rule of five". 7-Nitroquinoxalin-2-one derivatives displayed moderate to high in vitro activity while the efficiency of most nitroquinoxaline-2,3-diones was rather low; both kinds of compounds did not show cytotoxic effects in mammalian cells. 7-Nitro-4-(3-piperidinopropyl)quinoxalin-2-one 9 achieved the highest trichomonacidal activity (IC50 = 18.26 μM) and was subsequently assayed in vivo in a murine model of trichomonosis. A 46.13% and a 50.70% reduction of pathogenic injuries were observed in the experimental groups treated orally during 7 days with 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg doses. The results obtained in the biological assays against T. vaginalis indicate that compounds with ω-(dialkylamino)alkyl substituents and a keto group at positions 4 and 2 of quinoxaline ring, respectively, provide interesting structural cores to develop novel prototypes to enhance the nitroquinoxalinones activity as trichomonacidal agents with interesting ADME properties according to virtual screening analysis.
