  • Abstract
    With the aim of understanding the influence of redox potentials on the trypanocidal activity, a series of quinones were tested in vitro with trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi and their first cathodic potentials (Epcl) measured by cyclic voltammetry. All quinones with Epcl> −0.72V were active, while most of those with Epcl< −0.72V were inactive, suggesting a contribution of the easiness of reduction on the biological activity.
