Probing the Role of the Covalent Linkage of Ferrocene into a Chloroquine Template
摘要:
A new therapeutic approach to malaria led to the discovery of ferroquine (FQ, SR97276). To assess the importance of the linkage of the ferrocenyl group to a 4-aminoquinoline scaffold, two series of 4-aminoquinolines, structurally related to FQ, were synthesized. Evaluation of antimalarial activity, physicochemical parameters, and the beta-hematin inhibition property indicate that the ferrocene moiety has to be covalently flanked by a 4-aminoquinoline and an alkylamine. Current data reinforced our choice of FQ as a drug candidate.

This work presents a new family of organometallic antimalarial compounds consisting of ferrocene bearing a chloroquine-derived moiety as well as a 1,2;3,5-diisopropylidene glucofuranose moiety at a cyclopentadienyl scaffold in a 1,2-substitution pattern. The synthetic route proceeds via a stereoselective functionalization of ferrocene carboxaldehyde to the 1,2-disubstituted conjugates. After complete

This work presents a new class of organometallic antimalarials, based on a ferrocene scaffold, bearing a chloroquine derivative and a 1,2;3,5-(diisopropylidene)-alpha-D-glucofuranose moiety in a 1,1'-heteroannular substitution pattern. Synthesis proceeds via orthogonal functionalization of ferrocene, giving 1-acetoxy-1'-(1,3-dioxan-2-yl)ferrocene (15) as the precursor for modular introduction of the carbohydrate (16, 17) followed by subsequent reductive amination with chloroquine building blocks 8-10, yielding the 1-[3-(7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)alkylamino]-1'-[6-(1,2;3,5-diisopropylidene)-alpha-D-glucofuranosidyl]ferrocenes 18-20. After complete characterization of these new, trifunctional conjugates, they were examined for their antiplasmodial activity in a chloroquine-susceptible strain of Plasmodium falciparum (D10) and in two chloroquine-resistant strains (Dd2 and K1). Their activity was compared to that of the monosubstituted reference conjugates 1-3 and the 1,2-disubstituted regioisomers 4-6. Compounds 19 and 20 exhibited consistently high activity in in vitro antiplasmodial activity assays performed in Dd2 and K1 strains, performing better than the reference compounds chloroquine and the monosubstituted and 1,2-disubstituted compounds 1-6.

Five compounds displaying an unprecedented binding mode of chloroquine to ferrocene through the bridging of the cyclopentadienyl rings were studied alongside their monosubstituted ferrocene analogues and organic fragments. The antiplasmodial activity was evaluated against strains of the malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum). While the chloroquine-bridged ferrocenyl derivatives were less active than their five monosubstituted ferrocenyl analogues, they retained activity in the drug-resistant strains. The biological and physical properties were correlated to antiplasmodial activity. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding was associated with increased antiplasmodial action, but it is not the determining factor. Instead, balance between lipophilicity and hydrophilicity had a greater influence. It was found that calculated partition coefficient (log P) values of 4.5-5.0 and topological polar surfaces area (tPSA) values of similar to 26.0 angstrom(2) give the best balance. The particular conformation, compact size, and lipophilicity/hydrophilicity balance observed in the bridged compounds provide them with the structural characteristics needed to escape the mechanisms responsible for resistance.
Synthesis and in vitro antiplasmodial activity of ferrocenyl aminoquinoline derivatives
The aim of this study was to synthesize a series of ferrocenyl 4-aminoquinolines and to evaluate their activities against Plasmodium falciparum F32 (chloroquine-sensitive) and FCB1 and K1 (chloroquino-resistant). Some of the ferrocenyl compounds exhibited in vitro antiplasmodial activity in the nM range. In particular, (1R,4R)-N1-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N4-(ferrocenylmethyl)-N4-methylcyclohexane-1,4-diamine 17 presented the lowest IC50 value (26 nM) against CQ-resistant strains.
