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. In comparison to artemisinin semisynthetic derivatives, the compounds of this invention are structurally simple, easy to synthesize, non-toxic, and potent against malarial parasites. The compounds of the invention unexpectedly provide a single-dose cure for malaria, as well as prophylactic activity against the same. The compounds are also active against schistosomiasis and cancer.
本发明提供了一种治疗疟疾、血吸虫病和癌症的方法和手段,使用螺环或二螺环1,2,4-三噁烷酮。首选的1,2,4-三噁烷酮包括一个螺环戊烷基团在三噁烷基团的一侧,以及一个螺环己基在三噁烷基团的另一侧。与青蒿素半合成衍生物相比,本发明的化合物结构简单,易于合成,无毒,并且对疟原虫具有强效作用。该发明的化合物意外地提供了一次性治愈疟疾的方法,以及对其的预防活性。该化合物也对血吸虫病和癌症具有活性。
