    Abstract

    Potential inhibitors of the Trypanosoma cruzi dUTP nucleotidohydrolase were docked into the enzyme using the program FlexX. Compounds that docked selectively were then selected and synthesized using solid phase methodology, giving rise to a novel library of amino acid uracil acetamide compounds which were evaluated for enzyme inhibition and anti-parasitic activity.
