The human African trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease, which is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei and transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. An untreated infection leads to death. However, only a few drugs with significant drawbacks are currently available for treatment. In this thesis, quinolone amides with an antitrypanosomal activity were synthesized and their biological and physicochemical properties were measured. New structure-activity relationships and a promising lead structure were discovered.
