In vitro and in vivo antifilarial activity evaluation of 3,6-epoxy [1,5]dioxocines: A new class of antifilarial agents
摘要:
A series of 3,6-epoxy [1,5] dioxocines were synthesized and evaluated for their antifilarial activity against adult parasites of human lymphatic filarial parasite Brugia malayi (sub-periodic strain) in vitro. Out of these, six compounds (4a-f) possessed improved in vitro anti-filarial activity and examples 4d and 4f were also found to be active in the in vivo experiments. These results demonstrate that 3,6-epoxy [1,5] dioxocines exhibits potent antifilarial activity and might be developed into a new class of antifilarial drug. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

A series of novel keto-enamine chalcone-chloroquine based hybrids were synthesized following new methodology developed in our laboratory. The synthesized compounds were screened against chloroquine sensitive strain (3D7) of Plasmodium falciparum in an in vitro model. Some of the compounds were showing comparable antimalarial activity at par with chloroquine. Compounds with significant in vitro antimalarial activity were then evaluated for their in vivo efficacy in Swiss mice against Plasmodium yoelii (chloroquine resistant N-67 strain), wherein compounds 25 and 27 each showed an in vivo suppression of 99.9% parasitaemia on day 4. Biochemical studies reveal that inhibition of hemozoin formation is the primary mechanism of action of these analogues. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Here we report the synthesis of novel chalcone thiazole compounds and their antifilarial activity. The antifilarial properties of these hybrids were assessed against microfilariae as well as adult worms of Brugia malayi. Among all the synthesized compounds, only two compounds, namely 4g and 4n were identified to be promising in vitro. These active compounds were tested in B. malayi-jird (Meriones unguiculatus) and B. malayi-Mastomys coucha models. Compound 4n showed 100% embryostatic effect and 49% macrofilaricidal in jirds and M. coucha models, respectively. This study provides a new structural clue for the development of novel antifilarial lead molecules. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
