A series of N1-{4-[(10S)-dihydroartemisinin- 10-oxyl]}phenylmethylene-N2-(2-methylquinoline-4-yl) hydrazine derivatives 9a-9n possessing 4-quinolylhydrazone and artemisinin cores were herein synthesized and evaluated for their activities against cysteine protease falcipain- 2 of Plasmodium falciparum. The structures were clearly confirmed by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, and mass spectra. The pharmacological results indicated that all compounds showed excellent activity against recombinant falcipain-2 (IC50 = 0.15-2.28 μM). The best one of this series was compound 9d (IC50 = 0.15 μM). The molecular docking results showed that the compound 9d made close contact with the key active site of cysteine protease falcipain-2.

A series of novel artemisinin derivatives were synthesized from artemisinin and different anilines. All compounds were obtained as β-isomers. The target compounds were evaluated for inhibition activity against Plasmodium falciparum falcipain-2 in vitro, and most of them exhibited potent inhibition in the low micromolar range and proved to be new types of falcipain-2 inhibitors.

The Plasmodium falciparum cysteine protease falcipain-2, one of the most promising targets for antimalarial drug design, plays a key role in parasite survival as a major peptide hydrolase within the hemoglobin degradation pathway. In this work, a series of novel dihydroartemisinin derivatives based on (thio)semicarbazone scaffold were designed and synthesized as potential falcipain-2 inhibitors. The in vitro biological assay indicated that most of the target compounds showed excellent inhibition activity against P. falciparum falcipain-2, with IC50 values in the 0.29-10.63 μM range. Molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the binding affinities and interaction modes for the inhibitors. The preliminary SARs were summarized and could serve as a foundation for further investigation in the development of antimalarial drugs.
