MEPicides: α,β-Unsaturated Fosmidomycin Analogues as DXR Inhibitors against Malaria.
Severe malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum remains a significant global health threat. DXR, the second enzyme in the MEP pathway, plays an important role to synthesize building blocks for isoprenoids. This enzyme is a promising drug target for malaria due to its essentiality as well as its absence in humans. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of α,β-unsaturated analogues of fosmidomycin, a natural product that inhibits DXR in P. falciparum. All compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of P. falciparum. The most promising compound, 18a, displays on-target, potent inhibition against the growth of P. falciparum (IC Topics: Aldose-Ketose Isomerases; Animals; Antimalarials; Female; Fosfomycin; Malaria, Falciparum; Mice; Plasmodium falciparum; Prodrugs; Structure-Activity Relationship | 2018 |
