The synthesis of the natural product convolutamine I (1) together with its analogues are presented. A SAR study against Trypanosoma brucei brucei led to compounds with improved physico-chemical properties: lower molecular weight and lower log P while maintaining potency (with a slight 2-fold improvement). ...[more]
