Benznidazole is an orally bioavailable antiprotozoal agent.1 It is a 2-nitroimidazole prodrug that becomes active when the nitro group is reduced within the parasite.2 It inhibits the growth of the parasites T. cruzi, T. vaginalis, G. lamblia, and E. histolytica (IC50s = 8.1, 18.62, 22.58, and 4.27 μM, respectively).3,4 It also inhibits clonogenic growth of human C33A cervical and KNS42 glioblastoma cancer cells under hypoxic, but not normoxic, conditions when used at a concentration of 100 μM.5 Benznidazole (100 mg/kg per day) decreases T. cruzi blood parasitemia to below detectable levels in a mouse model of chronic stable Chagas disease.1 Formulations containing benznidazole have been used in the treatment of Chagas disease caused by T. cruzi.
