DERIVATIVES OF PHENYL (THIO) UREA DEOXYTHYMIDINE AND USE THEREOF AS ANTIMALARIALS

Deoxythymidine derivatives according to formula (I) are disclosed. wherein: X may be O or S; and R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 may each be independently selected from H, halo, C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 haloalkyl, nitro, phenyl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl wherein the substituents may be C1-C6 alkyl or C1-C6 haloalkyl, benzyl, -CH2OAr, -OR6 and six-membered ring heterocyclic groups containing 1 or more O and/or N heteroatoms wherein any N heteroatom may be C1-C6 alkyl-substituted; and R6 may be selected from C1-C6 alkyl, phenyl, six-membered ring heterocyclic groups containing at least one O heteroatom, benzyl and substituted benzyl wherein the substituents may be halo, C1-C6 alkyl or C1-C6 alkoxy; R7 may be H or C1-C6 alkyl; and the stereochemistry of the bond depicted as ? is either α or β. Such derivatives have shown good inhibitory activity against malaria-causing parasites, e.g. Plasmodium falciparum, but have shown low levels of toxicity to human cells.

Synthesis and evaluation of α-thymidine analogues as novel antimalarials

Plasmodium falciparum thymidylate kinase (PfTMPK) is a key enzyme in pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. 3-Trifluoromethyl-4-chloro-phenyl-urea- α-thymidine has been reported as an inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis TMPK (MtTMPK). Starting from this
