strains P. falciparum Dd2, IC50 1 µM (Ib) and 2.7 µM (Id)} and PfINDO IC50 1.1 µM (Ib) and 2.5 µM (Id)}. Drug exposure followed by drug withdrawal-based stage-specific kill kinetic studies showed that Ib is shizonticidal within 3h while the earliest killing actions against Trophozoites and Rings were seen at >3h and >6 h, respectively. Combination studies of the most potent leads viz. Ib and Id showed
This study establishes the diarylidenecyclohexanones as good anti-inflammatory pharmacophores with selective high potency against PGE2and 5-LOX without toxicity towards healthy human cells.
