mortality inflicted by malaria. Here, we report a new class of antimalarial protein farnesyltransferase (PFT) inhibitors, designed with specific emphasis on simple molecular architecture, to facilitate easy access to therapies based on this recently validated antimalarial target. This novel series of compounds represents the first Plasmodium falciparum selective PFT inhibitors reported (up to 145-fold
第三世界国家要求立即获得廉价的治疗剂,以应对疟疾造成的高死亡率。在这里,我们报告了一类新的抗疟疾蛋白法呢基转移酶(PFT)抑制剂,该抑制剂的设计重点是简单的分子结构,以便于根据最近经过验证的抗疟疾目标轻松进行治疗。这一系列新颖的化合物代表了第一个报道的恶性疟原虫选择性PFT抑制剂(选择性高达145倍),其中铅抑制剂表现出出色的体外活性(IC(50)<1 nM)和对低浓度培养的寄生虫的毒性(ED (50)<100 nM)。报告了吸收,代谢和口服生物利用度的初步研究。
