analogues against gametocytes revealed their moderate activity (IC50: 1-5 μM) against late stage P. falciparum gametocytes, while the evaluation of activity against P. berghei liver stages identified one compound (3) with 3-fold greater activity than the parent AST compound. Mechanistic studies showed a strong correlation between in vitro inhibition of β-hematin formation by the AST derivatives and their
利用药物重新定位方法衍生化阿司咪唑(AST),这是一种抗组胺药,其抗疟活性先前已在高通量筛选中确定。通过评估寄生虫的无性血液,肝脏和性配子分裂阶段,检查了其后类似物对疟原虫的生命周期的多阶段活性潜能。另外,对先前报道的血红素解毒对化合物作用方式的贡献进行了研究。17种衍生物中的10种对氯喹(CQ)敏感的恶性疟原虫NF54(PfNF54)菌株显示半数最大抑制浓度(IC50s)<0.1μM,同时对多药耐药菌株PfK1保持亚微摩尔效价,多数显示低与CQ交叉耐药的可能性。测试了选定的类似物(PfNF54-IC50 <0.1μM)对中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞的细胞毒性,发现其具有高度选择性(选择性指数> 100)。AST及其类似物针对配子体细胞的筛选显示了其对晚期恶性疟原虫配体细胞的中等活性(IC50:1-5μM),而对伯氏疟原虫肝阶段活性的评估则鉴定出一种化合物(3)的活性提高了3倍活性要比母体A
