| Popis | Here, we describe a combined in cellulo and in vivo approach to identify com-pounds with higher potential for efficient inhibition of Trypanosoma cruzi. Phase I of in cellulo assays is designed to exclude inactive or toxic compounds, while phase II is designed for accurate IC50, CC50, and selective index (SI) determina-tion. Compounds showing high SI are tested using in vivo infection models in par-allel with benznidazole to assess their efficacy relative to a reference drug used for Chagas disease treatment. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Marek et al. (2021).1 |
