Summary: A series of azasterol derivatives, designed as potential inhibitors of the Δ24 –sterol methyltransferase enzyme (24-SMT), were synthesized and evaluated for their activities against parasitic protozoa. We conclude that the designed compounds act at sites other than 24-SMT in Trypanosoma brucei.
