The identification of a plant-like Achille's Heel relict, i.e. the apicoplast, that is essential for Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria lead to an attractive drug target for new antimalarials with original mechanism of action. Although it is not photosynthetic, the apicoplast retains several anabolic pathways that are indispensable for the parasite. Based on previously identified antiplasmodial hit-molecules belonging to the 2-trichloromethylquinazoline and 3-trichloromethylquinoxaline series, we report herein an antiplasmodial Structure-Activity Relationships (SAR) study at position two of the quinoxaline ring of 16 newly synthesized compounds. Evaluation of their activity toward the multi-resistant K1 Plasmodium falciparum strain and cytotoxicity on the human hepatocyte HepG2 cell line revealed a hit compound (3k) with a PfK1 EC50 value of 0.3 μM and a HepG2 CC50 value of 56.0 μM (selectivity index = 175). Moreover, hit-compound 3k was not cytotoxic on VERO or CHO cell lines and was not genotoxic in the in vitro comet assay. Activity cliffs were observed when the trichloromethyl group was replaced by CH3, CF3 or H, showing that this group played a key role in the antiplasmodial activity. Biological investigations performed to determine the target and mechanism of action of the compound 3k strongly suggest that the apicoplast is the putative target as showed by severe alteration of apicoplaste biogenesis and delayed death response. Considering that there are very few molecules that affect the Plasmodium apicoplast, our work provides, for the first time, evidence of the biological target of trichloromethylated derivatives.

An efficient approach using a photocatalytic strategy for C?H perfluoroalkylation of quinoxalinones under aerobic oxidation condition has been developed. Such transformation employs readily available sodium perfluoroalkanesulfinates as perfluoroalkylation reagents and demonstrates good functional group compatibility, affording corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Compared with previous procedures, this protocol uses oxygen as oxidant, and avoids the use of external additive. A radical mechanism is involved in this perfluoroalkylation reaction.

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] Starting from 3-(trifluoromethyl)quinoxalin-2(1H)-one, a wide range of new 2-substituted 3-(trifluoromethyl)quinoxalines were obtained, including amino, bromo, chloro, hydrazino, phenyl, α-furyl, formyl, methylsulfanyl, and methylsulfonyl derivatives. 3-(Tri(di)-fluoromethyl)quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acids were obtained for the first time and used for the synthesis of 2-amino-3-(tri(di)-fluoromethyl)quinoxalines and 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)quinoxaline.

Using a previously reported flexible alignment model we have designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of compounds at the human histamine H 4 receptor (H4R) from which 2-(4-methyl-piperazin-l-yl)- quinoxaline (3) was identified as a new lead structure for H4R ligands. Exploration of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of this scaffold led to the identification of 6,7-dichloro 3-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl) quinoxalin-2(1H)-one (VUF 10214, 57) and 2-benzyl-3-(4-methyl-piperazin-l-yl) quinoxaline (VUF 10148, 20) as potent H4R ligands with nanomolar affinities. In vivo studies in the rat reveal that compound 57 has significant anti-inflammatory properties in the carrageenan-induced paw-edema model.
