Computational identification of chemical compounds with potential anti-Chagas activity using a classification tree.

abstract：:Recent advances in the knowledge of parasite biology have unveiled many new antimalarial targets for drug development. The glycogen synthase kinase-3 from Plasmodium falciparum (PfGSK-3) plays an active role in the completion of the asexual erythrocytic stage of P. falciparum life cycle. Due to the limited availabilit...
