Design, synthesis, and characterization of novel aminoalcohol quinolines with strong in vitro antimalarial activity.
Malaria is the fifth most lethal parasitic infections in the world. Herein, five new series of aminoalcohol quinolines including fifty-two compounds were designed, synthesized and evaluated in vitro against Pf3D7 and PfW2 strains. Among them, fourteen displayed IC Topics: Amino Alcohols; Animals; Antimalarials; Cell Line; Cricetulus; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Drug Design; Ether-A-Go-Go Potassium Channels; Female; Humans; Malaria; Mice; Mice, Inbred BALB C; Microsomes, Liver; Molecular Structure; Parasitic Sensitivity Tests; Plasmodium falciparum; Quinolines; Structure-Activity Relationship | 2022 |
Imaging of Plasmodium liver stages to drive next-generation antimalarial drug discovery.
Most malaria drug development focuses on parasite stages detected in red blood cells, even though, to achieve eradication, next-generation drugs active against both erythrocytic and exo-erythrocytic forms would be preferable. We applied a multifactorial approach to a set of >4000 commercially available compounds with previously demonstrated blood-stage activity (median inhibitory concentration < 1 micromolar) and identified chemical scaffolds with potent activity against both forms. From this screen, we identified an imidazolopiperazine scaffold series that was highly enriched among compounds active against Plasmodium liver stages. The orally bioavailable lead imidazolopiperazine confers complete causal prophylactic protection (15 milligrams/kilogram) in rodent models of malaria and shows potent in vivo blood-stage therapeutic activity. The open-source chemical tools resulting from our effort provide starting points for future drug discovery programs, as well as opportunities for researchers to investigate the biology of exo-erythrocytic forms.
