Identification, Design and Biological Evaluation of Heterocyclic Quinolones Targeting Plasmodium falciparum Type II NADH:Quinone Oxidoreductase (PfNDH2)
摘要:
Following a program undertaken to identify hit compounds against NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (PfNDH2), a novel enzyme target within the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, hit to lead optimization led to identification of CK-2-68, a molecule suitable for further development. In order to reduce ClogP and improve solubility of CK-2-68 incorporation of a variety of heterocycles, within the side chain of the quinolone core, was carried out, and this approach led to a lead compound SL-2-25 (8b). 8b has IC(50)s in the nanomolar range versus both the enzyme and whole cell P. falciparum (IC50 = 15 nM PfNDH2; IC50 = 54 nM (3D7 strain of P. falciparum) with notable oral activity of ED50/ED90 of 1.87/4.72 mg/kg versus Plasmodium berghei (NS Strain) in a murine model of malaria when formulated as a phosphate salt. Analogues in this series also demonstrate nanomolar activity against the bc(1) complex of P. falciparum providing the potential added benefit of a dual mechanism of action. The potent oral activity of 2-pyridyl quinolones underlines the potential of this template for further lead optimization studies.

potential of azaaurones as dual‐stage antimalarial agents was investigated by assessing the effect of a small library of azaaurones on the inhibition of liver and intraerythrocytic lifecycle stages of the malariaparasite. The whole series was screened against the blood stage of a chloroquine‐resistant Plasmodium falciparum strain and the liver stage of P. berghei, yielding compounds with dual‐stage activity

isosteric counterparts, azaaurones and N-acetylazaaurones, against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Aurones were found to be inactive at 20 μm, whereas azaaurones and N-acetylazaaurones emerged as the most potent compounds, with nine derivatives displaying MIC99 values ranging from 0.4 to 2.0 μm. In addition, several N-acetylazaaurones were found to be activeagainst multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant
A copper-catalyzed acylhalogenation reaction of 3-methylanthranils with acidhalides, which utilizes the acyl halide as both the acylating and halogenating source, is described. This process involves N−O/C−H/C−X bond cleavages and C−N/C−X bond formations to furnish N-(2-(2-haloyl)phenyl)amides. Furthermore, this difunctional conversion using the N−O bond and oxygen as oxidants displays good tolerance

Azaaurones are potentagentsagainst M.tb. This new family of compounds improved the overall metabolic stability and solubility of the scaffold, with 24 compounds with submicromolar activities and 4 compounds in the nanomolar range. Furthermore, all tested derivatives were equipotent among susceptible and drug-resistant tuberculosis, with activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant

work aimed to obtain new multitarget HIV-TB agents, with the goal of optimizing treatments and preventing this coinfection. These compounds incorporate the structural features of azaaurones as anti-Mtb and zidovudine (AZT) as the antiretroviral moiety. The azaaurone scaffold displayed submicromolar activities against Mtb, and AZT is a potent antiretroviral drug. Six derivatives were synthetically generated
