Summary 1-(Substituted)benzyl-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamides are potent orally active inhibitors ofTrypanosoma cruzi infections in mice. The most active compounds are the 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)- and 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-analogs (L-153,094 [2] and L-153,153 [4], resp.) which are approximately 7-fold more potent upon oral administration than nifurtimox (Lampit) in suppressing parasite levels in the blood of mice with acuteTrypanosoma cruzi infections.
