class of 2-oxo-tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridine-based protein farnesyltransferase inhibitors were synthesized and found to inhibit protein farnesyltransferase from the malaria parasite with potencies in the low nanomolar range. The compounds were much less potent on mammalian protein prenyltransferases. Two of the compounds block the growth of malaria in culture with potencies in the sub-micromolar range.
合成了一类新的基于 2-oxo-tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridine 的蛋白质法呢基转移酶抑制剂,并发现它可以在低纳摩尔范围内抑制疟原虫的蛋白质法呢基转移酶。这些化合物对哺乳动物蛋白质异戊二烯转移酶的效力要低得多。其中两种化合物可以在亚微摩尔范围内阻止疟疾在培养物中的生长。发现某些化合物的代谢稳定性比先前描述的基于四氢喹啉的蛋白质法呢基转移酶抑制剂要稳定得多。
