A means and method for treating malaria, schistosomiasis, and cancer using a Spiro or dispiro 1,2,4-trioxolane is described. The preferred 1,2,4-trioxolanes include a spiroadamantane group on one side of the trioxolane group, and a spirocyclohexyl on the other side of the trioxolane group, whereby the spirocyclohexyl ring is preferably substituted at the 4-position. In comparison to artemisinin semisynthetic derivatives, the compounds of this invention are structurally simple, easy to synthesize, non-toxic, and potent against malarial parasites.
本发明涉及使用Spiro或dispiro 1,2,4-三噁烷治疗疟疾、血吸虫病和癌症的方法和手段。首选的1,2,4-三噁烷包括一个spiroadamantane基团位于三噁烷基团的一侧,而spirocyclohexyl位于三噁烷基团的另一侧,其中spirocyclohexyl环在4位处被取代。与青蒿素半合成衍生物相比,本发明化合物结构简单,易于合成,无毒,并且对疟原虫具有强效作用。
