Identification of 3-phenylaminoquinolinium and 3-phenylaminopyridinium salts as new agents against opportunistic fungal pathogens
摘要:
Previous studies on the indoloquinoline alkaloid, cryptolepine (2), revealed that it has antii-nfective properties among other activities. Using Structure-activity relationship (SAR) techniques, several ring-opened analogs of cryptolepine (3-phenylaminopyridinium and 3-phenylaminoquinolinium derivatives) were designed to improve the potency and lower the cytotoxicity shown by several of the precursor agents. Results indicate that these ring-opened analogs constitute new anti-infective agents with over a 100-fold potency and several fold lower cytotoxicity than cryptolepine from which they are derived.
