The 2-phenoxybenzamide 1 from the Medicines for Malaria Venture Malaria Box Project has shown promising multi-stage activity against different strains of P. falciparum. It was successfully synthesized via a retrosynthetic approach. Subsequently, twenty-one new derivatives were prepared and tested for their in vitro activity against blood stages of the NF54 strain of P. falciparum. Several insights into structure-activity relationships were revealed. The antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of compounds strongly depended on the substitution pattern of the anilino partial structure as well as on the size of substituents. The diaryl ether partial structure had further impacts on the activity. Additionally, several physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated (log P, log D7.4 and ligand efficiency) or determined experimentally (passive permeability and CYP3A4 inhibition). The tert-butyl-4-{4-[2-(4-fluorophenoxy)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamido]phenyl}piperazine-1-carboxylate possesses high antiplasmodial activity against P. falciparum NF54 (PfNF54 IC50 = 0.2690 μM) and very low cytotoxicity (L-6 cells IC50 = 124.0 μM) resulting in an excellent selectivity index of 460. Compared to the lead structure 1 the antiplasmodial activity was improved as well as the physicochemical and some pharmacokinetic parameters.

Targeted protein degradation by proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) is one of the exciting modalities for drug discovery and biological discovery. It is important to select an appropriate linker, an E3 ligase ligand, and a target protein ligand in the

With our previously identified potent NNRTIs 25a and HBS-11c as leads, series of novel thiophene[3,2-d]pyrimidine and thiophene[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were designed via molecular hybridization strategy. All the target compounds were evaluated for their anti-HIV-1 activity and cytotoxicity in MT-4 cells. Compounds 16a1 and 16b1 turned out to be the most potent inhibitors against WT and mutant HIV-1 strains (L100I, K103N, and E138K), with EC50 values ranging from 0.007 μM to 0.043 μM. Gratifyingly, 16b1 exhibited significantly reduced cytotoxicity (CC50 > 217.5 μM) and improved water solubility (S = 49.3 μg/mL at pH 7.0) compared to the lead 25a (S 50 = 2.30 μM). Moreover, molecular docking was also conducted to rationalize the structure-activity relationships of these novel derivatives and to understand their key interactions with the binding pocket.
