Amino derivatives of indolone-N-oxide: Preparation and antiplasmodial properties
摘要:
There is an urgent need for new antimalarial drugs with novel mechanisms of action on novel targets. Indolone-N-oxides (INODs) display antimalarial properties in vitro and in vivo, but identified leads such as 6-(4-chloro-phenyl)-5-oxy-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-f]indol-7-one 1, suffer from very poor aqueous solubility. In this study, structural modifications have been made by introducing various amino and bulky groups to produce sufficiently water soluble and active compounds for further pharmacological and pharmacokinetic studies. We report here the preparation of twelve novel amino derivatives and their anti-plasmodial activities including those of two other structurally known compounds. The 5-methoxy-2-(4-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-1-oxy-indol-3-one, 9, has the highest antiplasmodial activity in vitro (IC50 = 6.5 nM; FcB1 strain) and selectivity index (SI (CC(50)MCF7/IC50 FcB1) = 4538.5). The 6-amino-2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1-oxy-indol-3-one, 14, (IC50 = 183 nM; SI = 60), is an excellent candidate for further mechanistic studies. Indeed, this is structurally the closest analogue to the current lead, 1, bearing an NH2 group at R-2 offering possibilities for functionalization and labeling. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Synthesis and Antiplasmodial Activity of New Indolone N-Oxide Derivatives
摘要:
A series of 66 new indolone-N-oxide derivatives was synthesized with three different methods. Compounds were evaluated for in vitro activity against CQ-sensitive (3D7), CQ-resistant (FcB1), and CQ and pyrimethamine cross-resistant (K1) strains of Plasmodium falciparum (P.f.), its well as for cytotoxic concentration (CC50) on MCF7 and KB human tumor Cell lines. Compound 26 (5-methoxy-indolone-N-oxide analogue) had the most potent antiplasmodial activity in vitro (< 3 nM on FcB1 and = 1.7 nM on 3D7) with a very satisfactory selectivity index (CC50 MCF7/IC50 FcB1: 14623; CC50 KB/IC50 3D7: 198823). In in vivo experiments, compound 1 (dioxymethylene derivatives of the indolone-N-oxide) showed the best antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium berghei, 62% inhibition of the parasitaemia at 30 mg/kg/day.
