Abstract
Aim: To synthesize and evaluate the antimalarial and antioxidant activities of novel organotellurium (IV) thiophene-based complexes.Materials & methods: Synthesized complexes were characterized using NMR, IR and mass spectrometry. Their biological activities were assessed using in vitro assays and molecular docking studies.Results: The complexes exhibited significant antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, with the highest activity observed for complexes 5b and 5e. ADMET properties confirmed their potential as therapeutic agents.
期刊介绍:
Future Medicinal Chemistry offers a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of the latest milestones in the field. Strong emphasis is placed on ensuring that the journal stimulates awareness of issues that are anticipated to play an increasingly central role in influencing the future direction of pharmaceutical chemistry. Where relevant, contributions are also actively encouraged on areas as diverse as biotechnology, enzymology, green chemistry, genomics, immunology, materials science, neglected diseases and orphan drugs, pharmacogenomics, proteomics and toxicology.
