Resistance to antimalarial therapies, including artemisinin, has emerged as a significant challenge. Reversal of acquired resistance can be achieved using agents that resensitize resistant parasites to a previously efficacious therapy. Building on our initial work describing novel chemoreversal agents (CRAs) that resensitize resistant parasites to chloroquine (CQ), we herein report new hybrid single agents as an innovative strategy in the battle against resistant malaria. Synthetically linking a CRA scaffold to chloroquine produces hybrid compounds with restored potency toward a range of resistant malaria parasites. A preferred compound, compound 35, showed broad activity and good potency against seven strains resistant to chloroquine and artemisinin. Assessment of aqueous solubility, membrane permeability, and in vitro toxicity in a hepatocyte line and a cardiomyocyte line indicates that compound 35 has a good therapeutic window and favorable drug-like properties. This study provides initial support for CQ-CRA hybrid compounds as a potential treatment for resistant malaria.

Pantothenate kinase (PanK) catalyzes the transformation of pantothenate to 4′-phosphopantothenate, the first committed step in coenzyme A biosynthesis. While numerous pantothenate antimetabolites and PanK inhibitors have been reported for bacterial type I and type II PanKs, only a few weak inhibitors are known for bacterial type III PanK enzymes. Here, a series of pantothenate analogues were synthesized using convenient synthetic methodology. The compounds were exploited as small organic probes to compare the ligand preferences of the three different types of bacterial PanK. Overall, several new inhibitors and substrates were identified for each type of PanK.
