Pentafluorosulfanyl power! The SF 5 group—a novel substituent with striking physicochemical properties—was used as building block for trypanothione reductase (TR) inhibitors and compared to its CF 3 and C(CH 3 ) 3 relatives. The high in vitro activities of these derivatives against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense as well as against Plasmodium falciparum supports the suitability of SF 5 as a component of drug‐like compounds.
