Novel hybrid molecules based on 15-membered azalide as potential antimalarial agents
摘要:
Malaria remains the most prevalent tropical disease, and due to the spread of resistant parasites novel therapeutics are urgently needed. Azithromycin has shown potential in malaria treatment so we designed hybrid azalide molecules with the aim to improve activity against and selectivity for the malaria parasite. Novel hybrid molecules comprising 4-aminoquinoline moiety covalently liked to 15-membered azalide scaffold at position C-3' were synthesized and biologically evaluated. Antimalarial testing against Plasmodium falciparum sensitive and resistant strains confirmed the improved in vitro activity over azithromycin and chloroquine. Selectivity of the compounds (HepG2 IC50/P. falciparum IC50 ratio) for the parasite was high (100-2700) and their antibacterial activity diminished. Even though oral bioavailability determined for compound 12 was low, novel quinoline C-3'-substituted 15-membered azalides represent an interesting subclass of antimalarial macrolides that need further research and evaluation.

The present invention relates to novel 3'-N-substituted 9-deoxo-9a-methyl-9a-aza-9a- homoerythromycin A derivatives having antimalarial activity. More particularly, the invention relates to 3'-N-substituted-9-deoxo-9a-methyl-9a-aza-9a-homoerythromycin A and 3'-N-substituted-3-O-decladinosyl-9-deoxo-9a-methyl-9a-aza-9a-homoerythromycin A derivatives having antimalarial activity, to the intermediates for their preparation, to the methods for their preparation, to their use as therapeutic agents, and to salts thereof having antimalarial activity.
