Robenidine is a veterinary drug used in the poultry industry to treat coccidiosis caused by parasites in the Eimeria genus. Though this compound and related aminoguanidines have recently been studied in other pathogens, the chemotype has not been systematically explored to optimize antimalarial activity despite the close genetic relationship between Eimeria and Plasmodium (both are members of the Apicomplexa phylum of unicellular, spore-forming parasites). In this study, a series of aminoguanidine robenidine analogues was prepared and tested in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum, including multidrug-resistant strains. Selected compounds were further evaluated in vivo against murine Plasmodium yoelii in mice. Iterative structure-activity relationship studies led to the discovery of 1, an aminoguanidine with excellent activity against drug-resistant malaria in vitro and impressive in vivo efficacy with an ED50 value of 0.25 mg/kg/day in a standard 4-day test.

Robenidine, 1 (2,2′-bis[(4-chlorophenyl)methylene]carbonimidic dihydrazide), was active against MRSA and VRE with MIC's of 8.1 and 4.7 μM, respectively. SAR revealed tolerance for 4-Cl isosteres with 4-F (8), 3-F (9), 3-CH3 (22), and 4-C(CH3)3 (27) (23.7-71 μM) and with 3-Cl (3), 4-CH3 (21), and 4-CH(CH3)2 (26) (8.1-13.0 μM). Imine carbon alkylation identified a methyl/ethyl binding pocket that also accommodated a CH2OH moiety (75; 2,2′-bis[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethylidene]carbonimidic dihydrazide). Analogues 1, 27 (2,2′-bis{[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl]methylene}carbonimidic dihydrazide), and 69 (2,2′-bis[1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethylidene]carbonimidic dihydrazide hydrochloride) were active against 24 clinical MRSA and MSSA isolates. No dose-limiting cytotoxicity at ≥2× MIC or hemolysis at ≥8× MIC was observed. Polymyxin B addition engendered Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Gram-negative activity MIC's of 4.2-21.6 μM. 1 and 75 displayed excellent microsomal stability, intrinsic clearance, and hepatic extraction ratios with T1/2 > 247 min, CLint H 0.22 in both human and mouse liposomes for 1 and in human liposomes for 75.

A series of new symmetrically functionalized guanidinium chlorides (S1-S10) are synthesized in good yields and their sensing ability toward anions is studied in MeCN-DMF (24:1) (v/v). The absorption bands of these molecules in the presence of anions are t
