Optimization of 2,8-Diaryl-1,5-naphthyridines as Plasmodium falciparum Phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinase Inhibitors with Improved ADME Profiles and In Vivo Efficacy
Previously reported antimalarial Plasmodium phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ 2,8-diaryl-1,5-naphthyridine inhibitors have shown suboptimal physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. A focused target-based structure–activity relationship and structure–property optimization studies identified several compounds with good target and whole-cell activities and improved physicochemical properties. A new frontrunner compound 27 showed an improved pharmacokinetic profile and reduced parasitaemia (91% at 4 × 50 mg/kg QD doses) in the humanized NOD-scid IL-2Rγnull mouse model of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Compound 27 poses no hERG channel inhibition at high concentrations or mammalian cytotoxicity but shows low selectivity against related human lipid kinases (PI3Kα and PI4Kβ); however, significantly higher selectivity margins were observed against the human MINK1 and MAP4K4 kinases.
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.
