- In vitro antimalarial activity, β-haematin inhibition and structure-activity relationships in a series of quinoline triazoles
-
A novel series of quinoline triazole amide analogues (38-51) has been synthesized. Analogues 38-44 had a Cl substituent at the 7-position of the quinoline ring, while 45-51 had a CN substituent at this position. Compounds 40, 45 and 49 were found to be the most active in the series against the Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine-sensitive D10 strain, with IC50 values in the range of 349-1247 nM, with 40 and 45, but not 49 also exhibiting similar activity against the chloroquine-resistant K1 strain of parasite. Quinoline triazoles 40 and 44 were the most active β-haematin inhibitors, with 50% inhibitory concentrations of 14.7 and 8.9 μM respectively. In vitro antimalarial activity of the 7-Cl bearing analogues 38-44 exhibited a strong linear dependence of log(1/IC50) on log P. Thus, the more lipophilic, the more active it was found be. The 7-CN series 45-51 showed no such dependence. The resistance index (IC50 K1/IC50 D10) also exhibited a linear dependence on log P, with a substantially steeper slope in the case of the 7-Cl series. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of producing hydrophilic analogues with strong activity and low cross-resistance with chloroquine.

- Triazoloamides as potent γ-secretase modulators with reduced hERG liability
-
Synthesis and SAR studies of novel aryl triazoles as gamma secretase modulators (GSMs) are presented in this communication. Starting from our aryl triazole leads, optimization studies were continued and the series progressed towards novel amides and lactams. Triazole 57 was identified as the most potent analog in this series, displaying single-digit nanomolar Aβ42 IC 50 in cell-based assays and reduced affinity for the hERG channel.
