Anti-Plasmodium activity of imidazole–dioxolane compounds
摘要:
A series of imidazole-dioxolane compounds, which we hypothesize should bind to heme and thus interfere with heme catabolism in the parasite, were assayed for inhibitory activity in Plasmodium falciparum cultures and the results were compared to those obtained with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The majority of the compounds displayed a similar ratio of inhibitory activity in the two culture systems; however, a number of the compounds tested showed promising anti-Plasmodium activity. The mechanism of action of these compounds remains unclear, however their inability to act synergistically with chloroquine suggests that, if they are inhibiting heme detoxification, they do so in a manner that does not complement the action of chloroquine.

Disclosed are compounds of the general formula (I):
TC
n
D (I),
compositions comprising an effective amount of said compounds either alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents, and methods useful for treating or preventing cancer and for inhibiting tumour tissue growth. These compounds attenuate the oxidative damage associated with increased heme-oxygenase activity and can reduce cell proliferation in transformed cells. In addition, the described compounds and compositions are useful as neuroprotectants and for treating or preventing neurodegenerative disorders and other diseases of the central nervous system.
