A natural product inspired hybrid approach towards the synthesis of novel pentamidine based scaffolds as potential anti-parasitic agents
摘要:
A natural product inspired molecular hybridization approach led us to a series of novel pentamidine based pyrimidine and chalcone scaffolds. All the hybrids were evaluated for their anti-leishmanial potential. Most of the screened compounds have showed significant in vitro anti-leishmanial activity with less cytotoxicity in comparison to the standard drugs (pentamidine, sodium stibogluconate, and miltefosine). Additionally, anti-malarial screening of these compounds was also done and four compounds have shown superior activity against chloroquine resistance strain (K1) of Plasmodium falciparum.
