Buthionine Sulfoximine Increases the Toxicity of Nifurtimox and Benznidazole to Trypanosoma cruzi

l-Buthionine (S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO) increased the toxicity of nifurtimox and benznidazole toward the epimastigote, trypomastigote, and amastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. BSO at 500 μM decreased total glutathione-derived thiols by 70 to 80% in 48 h. In epimastigotes, 500 μM BSO decreased the con...
