Summary: This article describes the synthesis and in vitro and in vivo evaluation of novel 3-nitrotriazole-based amides and carbinols as anti-Chagas agents. Such compounds are bi-functional and, as combination treatments against parasites are often superior to monotherapy, they may mark the beginning of a new generation of drugs against trypanosomal parasite infections.
