Fluorescent Marinoquinoline Derivative as Inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum: SAR Analysis, Mode of Action and In Vivo Studies.
We present insights into the mechanism of action of marinoquinolines (MQ), a novel class of lead candidates. Using a divergent synthetic approach, we developed a series of 20 new analogues with fluorescence properties. Structure-activity relationships analysis identified 19 as an attractive compound showing a combination of favorable in vitro (IC503D7 = 0.28 μM; CC50HepG2 = 53 μM), ex vivo (EC50Pf = 1.2 μM; EC50Pv = 0.53 μM), in vivo (3 × 50 mg/kg oral dose resulted in a 96% reduction in parasitemia in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice), physicochemical (Sol7.4 = 171 μM; LogD7.4 = 3.9), and pharmacokinetic (P_app = 9.4 × 10-6 cm/s, human Clinthep,mic = 0.61-0.68 μL min-1 mg-1) properties. Compound 19 selectively accumulates in infected erythrocytes, enters the digest vacuole and inhibits Plasmodium falciparum proteolytic activity, suggesting that MQs act as protease inhibitors. These findings strengthen the evidence that MQs are promising lead candidates for antimalarial drug discovery.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the multifaceted field of medicinal chemistry. Since its inception in 1959 as the Journal of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, it has evolved to become a cornerstone in the dissemination of research findings related to the design, synthesis, and development of therapeutic agents.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is recognized for its significant impact in the scientific community, as evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 7.3. This metric reflects the journal's influence and the importance of its content in shaping the future of drug discovery and development. The journal serves as a vital resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms of drug action and the optimization of therapeutic compounds.
