Molecular connectivity has been applied to the search for new compounds with antimalarial activity. Linear discriminant analysis and connectivity functions were used to select several potentially suitable drugs which were tested for antimalarial properties by use of an in-vitro micro test which estimates parasite growth by measurement of incorporation of [3H]hypoxanthine. Hexetidine stands out among the compounds selected. Activity assays were performed with Plasmodium falciparum passou and 3CD7 strains, for which the IC50 values (doses resulting in 50% inhibition) were 320 and 400 ng mL(-1), respectively. These results are comparable with those obtained for quinine chlorhydrate (IC50 = 60 and 107.8 ng mL(-1)) and chloroquine sulphate (IC50 = 231 and 415 ng mL(-1)), the drugs used for reference. These results demonstrate the usefulness of our topological approach for the selection and design of new lead drugs active against Plasmodium falciparum. 相似文献

During the screening of antimalarial substances, the 80% EtOH extract from the outer bark of Ochna integerrima Merr. (Ochnaceae) was shown to have a good anti-malarial activity (IC50 value: 6.5 microg/mL) whereas extracts from the inner barks of O.integerrima showed no antimalarial activity. Biflavanone (1), which had not been found previously from a natural plant source, was isolated as a potent antimalarial active ingredient (IC50 value: 80 ng/mL) from the extract of the outer barks. The stereoisomer of 1 ( = compound 2) was also isolated from this plant; however, its activity was significantly lower than that of 1. 相似文献

The interest in hot-melt extrusion as a drug delivery technology for the production of solid dispersion is growing rapidly. Lumefantrine (LUMF) is an antimalarial drug that exhibits poor oral bioavailability, in consequence of its poor aqueous solubility. To improve its antimalarial activity, solid dispersion formulation using hot melt extrusion technology was prepared. Appropriate selection of polymers, favoured the production of amorphous LUMF-polymer solid dispersions. The physicochemical properties of solid dispersions were characterized using scanning electron microscope, Infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. LUMF SD showed enhanced dissolution rate attributed to amorphosization of LUMF. The IC50 value of LUMF SD formulations was found to be (0.084–0.213 ng/mL) i.e. 220–101 times lower than the IC50 value of pure LUMF (18.2 ng/mL) and 45–18 times lower than the IC50 value of standard antimalarial drug, chloroquine (3.8 ng/mL). Molecular dynamic simulation approach was used to investigate drug-polymer molecular interaction using computational modelling Schrodinger® software. LUMF SD powder makes the Coartem® therapy more operative with value-added beneficial comeback. 相似文献

A class of new pyrimidinyl peptidomimetic agents (compounds 1-6) were synthesized, and their in vitro antimalarial activities against Plasmodium falciparum were evaluated. The core structure of the new agents consists of a substituted 5-aminopyrimidone ring and a Michael acceptor side chain methyl 2-hydroxymethyl-but-2-enoate. The synthesis of 1-6 featured a Baylis-Hillman reaction of various aldehydes with methyl acrylate catalyzed by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and a S(N)2' Mitsunobu reaction under the conditions of diethyl azadicarboxylate (DEAD), triphenylphosphine (Ph(3)P), and various acids. The new compounds exhibited potent in vitro growth inhibitory activity (IC (50) = 10-30 ng/mL) against both chloroquine sensitive (D-6) and chloroquine resistant (W-2) Plasmodium falciparum clones. Compound 6 (IC(50) = 6-8 ng/mL) is the most active compound of the class, the antimalarial efficacy of which is comparable to that of chloroquine. In general, this class of compound exhibited weak to moderate in vitro cytotoxicity against neuronal and macrophage cells with IC (50) in the range of 1-16 microg/mL and showed less toxicity in a colon cell line. Preliminary results indicated that compounds 3 and 6 are active against P. berghei, prolonged the life span of parasite-bearing mice from 6 days for untreated control to 16-24 days for drug-treated animals. 相似文献

A new natural C-benzylated chalcone, 2',4'-dihydroxy-3'-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-6'-methoxychalcone (2), along with two other flavonoids, tiliroside and kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside, and an oxoaporphine alkaloid, lanuginosine were isolated from the aerial parts of Ellipeiopsis cherrevensis (Annonaceae). Two known polyoxygenated cyclohexene derivatives, ferrudiol and zeylenol, and a new analog, ellipeiopsol D, were also isolated. The chalcone 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against human small-cell lung-cancer (NCI-H187), epidermoid carcinoma (KB) and breast cancer (BC) cell lines with IC50 values of 1.40, 5.31 and 13.92 microg/mL, respectively. This compound also showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with an IC50 value of 7.1 microg/mL as well as antimicrobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a MIC of 25 mg/mL. 相似文献

Hemin-catalyzed decomposition of artemisinin (qinghaosu). 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Artemisinin (qinghaosu) and its derivatives represent an important new class of antimalarial drugs. Previous work suggests that the antimalarial activity of artemisinin may be mediated by a reaction with intraparasitic hemin. Using cyclic voltammetry, artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin were irreversibly reduced at approximately -1 V. In the presence of concentrations of hemin as low as 50 nM, the reduction took place at much lower potentials (-0.435 to -0.460 V). Both reductions took place after adsorption onto the electrode surface. The shift of the reduction potential to more positive values is indicative of a catalytic process similar to that seen with hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic decomposition of artemisinin may play a role in the antimalarial activity of artemisinin. 相似文献

Series of 4-aminoquinolines bearing an amino side chain linked to the ferrocene moiety through an amide bond were synthesized and evaluated for their antimalarial activity against both chloroquine-sensitive (D10, CQ-S) and chloroquine-resistant (Dd2, CQ-R) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. They were also tested for cytotoxicity against Chinese Hamster Ovarian (CHO) cells. Amide 12 featuring propyl side chain linked to the ferrocene ring was the most active of all tested compounds. With an IC50 value of 0.08 microg/mL, this amide showed 1.5-fold higher activity than chloroquine diphosphate (IC50 = 0.12 microg/mL) against the resistant strain, with a selectivity index of 550 indicating its high selectivity towards the parasite. Derivatives which were equipotent against both strains also showed up to ten-fold increase in activity compared to primaquine. 相似文献

A series of artemisinin (1) derivatives containing bromo and heterocyclic or aromatic amine functions was prepared in the search for analogues with good water solubility and high antimalarial activity. Treatment of dihydroartemisinin (2a) with boron trifluoride etherate at room temperature gave the key intermediate, 9,10-dehydrodihydroartemisinin (3), which, on reaction with bromine, gave the dibromide 4. The latter was condensed with amines in anhydrous CH2Cl2 at less than -10 degrees C to give the desired products in 25-55% yield. The new derivatives, tested in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum, were found to be more effective against W-2 than D-6 clones and were not cross-resistant with existing antimalarials. Compound 6b, 3-fluoroaniline derivative, was the most active of the series, with the IC50 less than or equal to 0.16 ng/mL, making it several fold more potent than 1. However, no significant in vivo antimalarial activity against Plasmodium berghei was observed in any of the new compounds tested. 相似文献

The dichloromethane, methanol and aqueous ethanol extracts of the stem bark of Pycnanthus angolensis were evaluated for their in vitro activity against the 3D7 Plasmodium falciparum strain. The CH (2)Cl (2) extract was the most active showing an IC (50) = 1.6 microg/mL. From this extract, a new dibenzylbutane lignan, threo-4,4'-dihydroxy-3-methoxylignan ( 1) named pycnantolol, together with the known lignans (-)-dihydroguaiaretic acid ( 2), heliobuphthalmin ( 3), talaumidin ( 4), hinokinin ( 5), the labdane-type diterpene ozic acid ( 6), and the steroids stigmast-4-en-6beta-ol-3-one ( 7), beta-sitosterol ( 8) and stigmasterol ( 9) were isolated. Their structures were established on the basis of physical and spectroscopic methods, including 2 D NMR experiments (COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY). The antimalarial activity of compounds 1 - 7 was evaluated against 3D7 and Dd2 P. falciparum strains. Despite the significant activity displayed by the crude CH (2)Cl (2) extract, the isolated compounds showed weaker antiplasmodial activity. The lowest IC (50) value was obtained for talaumidin ( 4) (IC (50) = 20.7 microg/mL against the Dd2-chloroquine resistant P. falciparum strain). 相似文献

The tertiary and quaternary alkaloids isolated from the stem bark, root bark and seeds of Peschiera fuchsiaefolia are reported. The tertiary alkaloid crude extract from the stem bark was tested in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum on the basis of the antimalarial use of the plant. It showed good activity against both the D6 strain (IC50 = 495 ng/ml) and chloroquine-resistant W2 strain (IC50 = 817 ng/ml) and voacamine was the most active of the tested alkaloids (IC50 = 238 ng/ml for D6 and 290 ng/ml for W2). The tertiary alkaloid crude extract from the root bark of the same plant is more active than voacamine (IC50 = 179 ng/ml for D6 and 282 ng/ml for W2 strain), and is particularly rich in dimeric alkaloids (0.22% of the vegetable material). 相似文献

Malaria is a major tropical disease, which kills two million people annually. The population at risk from this disease has increased because of the difficulties in eradicating the mosquito vector in the endemic regions and the emergence and spread of parasite resistance to all the commonly used antimalarials. Since antimalarials are the major arsenal for treatment of the disease, there is an urgent need for newer drugs with novel mechanisms of action, which will be effective against all strains of the parasite. As a part of our anti-infective drug discovery program, we have investigated 18 compounds including several synthetic and natural naphthoquinones as potential antimalarial agents. We have identified aminonaphthoquinones, as a class of antimalarial compounds with antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. Among these compounds, 2-amino-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone is the most potent. It had an IC(50)of 0.18 micro M (37.3 ng ml(-1)) against the W2 clone, and is more potent than chloroquine, which had an IC(50)of 0.23 micro M (72 ng ml(-1)). It was also active against the D6 clone. In general, 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone analogs and the 4-amino-1,2-napthoquinone analog showed promising antimalarial activity in the bioassay. In contrast, a number of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones and dimeric quinones were less active. 相似文献

A series of 2-(alpha-hydroxyacetyl)pyridine thiosemicarbazones was synthesized as potential antimalarial and antibacterial agents. Their synthesis was achieved by the condensation of N4-mono- or N4,N4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides with 2-(alpha-hydroxyacetyl)pyridine. The latter was prepared by selective bromine oxidation of (2-pyridinyl)-1,2-ethanediol. The new compounds show potent inhibitory activity against penicillin-sensitive as well as penicillin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae (MIC, 0.5-0.004 micrograms/mL), against Neisseria meningitidis (MIC, 0.5-0.032 micrograms/mL), and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC, 0.5-2 micrograms/mL). Good in vitro antimalarial effects against Plasmodium falciparum (Smith strain; ID50, 6.7-38 ng/mL) were observed in most of these new agents, but only 3 of 12 compounds exhibit moderate in vivo activity against Plasmodium berghei. These new agents appear to be less toxic to the host and more water soluble than the corresponding 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazones. 相似文献

The antimalarial and toxicological properties of four tetrahydroquinoline alkaloids from Galipea officinalis trunk bark were studied. Crude extracts and pure alkaloids were tested for in vitro antimalarial activity on Plasmodium falciparum. The IC50 were evaluated after 24 and 72 h contact between compounds and the parasite culture, and ranged from 1.8 to 40 microg/ml for the chloroquine-sensitive strain (CQS) and from 0.09 to 38 microg/ml for the chloroquine-resistant strains (CQR). Galipinine yielded the best antimalarial effect (IC50: 0.09 - 0.9 microg/ml on CQR strain) and this compound interacted particularly between the 32(nd) and the 40(th) hour of the P. falciparum erythrocytic cycle. The cytotoxicity of the extracts and pure tetrahydroquinoline alkaloids was assessed on the HeLa cell line and showed IC50 values ranging from 5.8 to above 50 microg/ml. 相似文献

We describe the design, synthesis, and antimalarial activity of 60 bis-tertiary amine, bis-2(1 H)-imino-heterocycle, bis-amidine, and bis-guanidine series. Bis-tertiary amines with a linker from 12 to 16 methylene groups were active against the in vitro growth of Plasmodium falciparum within the 10 (-6)-10 (-7) M concentration range. IC 50 decreased by 2 orders of magnitude for bis-2-aminopyridinium salts, bis-amidines, and bis-guanidines (27 compounds with IC 50 < 10 nM). Increasing the alkyl chain length from 6 to 12 methylene groups led to increased activity, while beyond this antimalarial activity decreased. Antimalarial activities appear to be strictly related to the basicity of the cationic head with an optimal p K a over 12.5. Maximal activity occurs for bis-2-aminopyridinium, two C-duplicated bis-amidines, and three bis-guanidines, with IC 50 values lower than 1 nM. In comparison to similar quaternary ammonium salts, amidinium compounds have distinct structural requirements for antimalarial activity and likely additional binding opportunities on account of their hydrogen-bond-forming properties. 相似文献

The synthesis and biological activity of four novel analogues of the cytostatic and antimitogenic agents chlamydocin and HC-toxin are reported in which the natural products' reactive epoxy ketone side-chain moiety is replaced by a chloromethyl or a diazomethyl ketone functionality, but the respective 12-membered cyclic tetrapeptide ring systems are retained. Syntheses of the linear tetrapeptide sequences were, in each case, achieved by conventional methodology and designed such that cyclization would be onto proline. The use of suitably protected L-2-aminosuberic acid (Asu) enabled the ready assimilation of the desired chloromethyl and diazomethyl ketone functionalities after cyclization. Cyclization was accomplished by using bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)phosphinic chloride (BOP-Cl). Yields of cyclic product were comparable to or, in the case of the HC-toxin ring system, better than those previously reported. Liberation of the Asu-side-chain acid and manipulation to the required functionalities via mixed anhydride to the diazomethyl ketone and quenching with HCl to yield the chloromethyl ketone was achieved in excellent yield for the HC-toxin analogues but in only moderate yield for the chlamydocin analogue. The antimitogenic activities of HC-toxin chloromethyl ketone (IC50 = 30-40 ng/mL) and chlamydocin chloromethyl ketone (IC50 = 3-10 ng/mL) were found to be 3-4-fold lower than those of the natural products themselves. The diazomethyl ketone analogue of HC-toxin was found to be inactive (IC50 greater than 2000 ng/mL). A modification of the HC-toxin peptide ring system, [L-Phe]3-HC-toxin chloromethyl ketone was found not to be a more active analogue (IC50 = 40-100 ng/mL). The nature of the putative target molecule, the binding interactions of the various analogues and the contribution of rate of inhibition toward activity are briefly discussed. The chloromethyl ketones herein reported constitute the most potent synthetic antimitogenic cyclic tetrapeptide analogues yet designed. 相似文献

The development of new antimalarial drugs is an urgent priority considering the increasing prevalence of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites. A series of pyrazoles are described as part of efforts directed toward the synthesis of some potent antimalarial agents. The replacement of the ester group as a substituent in the pyrazole ring by nitrile group caused a precipitous loss of activity as antimalarial due to the lack of hydrogen-bond formation. Further modification of the heterocyclic ring to give substituted aryl derivatives afforded potent antimalarial derivatives: methyl 5-amino-3-anisidinepyrazole-4-carboxylic acid 3a (IC50: 0.149 mumol/l) and methyl 5-amino-3-(m anisidin)pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid 3c (IC50: 0.15 mumol/l). The synthesis, structure-activity relationships (SAR), X-ray crystallography and pharmacological activity associated with these series of compounds are discussed. 相似文献

Phenoxypropoxybiguanides, such as 1 (PS-15), are prodrugs analogous to the relationship of proguanil and its active metabolite cycloguanil. Unlike cycloguanil, however, 1a (WR99210), the active metabolite of 1, has retained in vitro potency against newly emerging antifolate-resistant malaria parasites. Unfortunately, manufacturing processes and gastrointestinal intolerance have prevented the clinical development of 1. In vitro antimalarial activity and in vitro metabolism studies have been performed on newly synthesized phenoxypropoxybiguanide analogues. All of the active dihydrotriazine metabolites exhibited potent antimalarial activity with in vitro IC(50) values less than 0.04 ng/mL. In vitro metabolism studies in human liver microsomes identified the production of not only the active dihydrotriazine metabolite, but also a desalkylation on the carbonyl chain, and multiple hydroxylated metabolites. The V(max) for production of the active metabolites ranged from 10.8 to 27.7 pmol/min/mg protein with the K(m) ranging from 44.8 to 221 microM. The results of these studies will be used to guide the selection of a lead candidate. 相似文献

We have studied the cytotoxic activity of extracts and jacaranone from Senecio leucanthemifolius Poiret. Extracts from S. leucanthemifolius were able to inhibit the in-vitro proliferation of a series of human tumour cell lines. The dichloromethane extract demonstrated effective cytotoxic activity with an IC50 of 20.1 microg mL(-1) on the large cell carcinoma cell line COR-L23. The ethyl acetate extract showed an IC50 value of 5.0 microg mL(-1) and the butanol extract an IC50 value of 6.4 microg mL(-1) on the same cell line. A major active constituent of the dichloromethane extract was shown to be jacaranone, which was demonstrated to have a very strong activity against all of the tumour cell lines with IC50 values between 2.86 and 3.85 microg mL(-1), although it did not account for all the activity observed. Constituents of S. leucanthemifolius extracts were identified by GC/MS analysis and NMR. 相似文献
