Patients present an acute phase that may or not be symptomatic, followed by lifelong chronic stage, mostly indeterminate, or with cardiac and\/or digestive progressive lesions. Benznidazole (BZ) and nifurtimox are the only drugs approved for treatment but not effective in the late chronic phase and many strains of the parasite are naturally resistant. New alternative therapy is required to address this serious public health issue. Repositioning and combination represent faster, and cheaper trial strategies encouraged for neglected diseases. The effect of imatinib (IMB), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor designed for use in neoplasias, was assessed\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    on\n                    <jats:italic>T. cruzi<\/jats:italic>\n                    and mammalian host cells. In comparison with BZ, IMB was moderately active against different strains and forms of the parasite. The combination IMB + BZ in fixed-ratio proportions was additive. Novel 14 derivatives of IMB were screened and a 3,2-difluoro-2-phenylacetamide (\n                    <jats:bold>3e<\/jats:bold>\n                    ) was as potent as BZ on\n                    <jats:italic>T. cruzi<\/jats:italic>\n                    but had low selectivity index. The results demonstrate the importance of phenotypic assays, encourage the improvement of IMB derivatives to reach selectivity and testify to the use of repurposing and combination in drug screening for CD.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182019000234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,12]],"date-time":"2019-03-12T06:16:21Z","timestamp":1552371381000},"page":"1006-1012","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Repurposing strategies for Chagas disease therapy: the effect of imatinib and derivatives against\n                    <i>Trypanosoma cruzi<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"146","author":[{"given":"M.
