Synthesis and Evaluation of Antifungal and Antitrypanosomastid Activities of Symmetrical 1,4-Disubstituted-1,2,3-Bistriazoles Obtained by CuAAC Conditions.

Background: The trypanosomatids, such as the protozoan Leishmania spp., have a demand by ergosterol, which is not present in the membrane from mammal cells. The suppression of the synthesis of ergosterol would be a new target of compounds with leishmanicidal activity, and bistriazole has shown trypanocidal activity by this mechanism.
