Carboxamide pyrazinyloxy benzoxaboroles were investigated with the goal to identify a molecule with satisfactory antimalarial activity, physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetic profile, in vivo efficacy, and safety profile. This optimization effort discovered 46, which met our target candidate profile. Compound 46 had excellent activity against cultured Plasmodium falciparum, and in vivo against P. falciparum and P. berghei in infected mice. It exhibited good PK properties in mice, rats, and dogs. It was highly active against the other 11 P. falciparum strains, which are mostly resistant to chloroquine and pyrimethamine. The rapid parasite in vitro reduction and in vivo parasite clearance profile of 46 were similar to those of artemisinin and chloroquine, two rapid-acting antimalarials. It was nongenotoxic in an Ames assay, an in vitro micronucleus assay, and an in vivo rat micronucleus assay when dosed orally up to 2000 mg/kg. The combined properties of this novel benzoxaborole support its progression to preclinical development.

A macrocylic dodecapeptide, cycloforskamide, was isolated from the sea slug Pleurobranchus forskalii, collected off Ishigaki Island, Japan. Its planar structure was deduced by extensive NMR analyses and was further confirmed by MS/MS fragmentation analyses. Finally, the absolute configuration was determined by total hydrolysis and chiral-phase gas chromatographic analysis. This novel dodecapeptide contains three d-amino acids and three thiazoline heterocycles and exhibits cytotoxicity against murine leukemia P388 cells, with an IC 50 of 5.8 μM.

To improve the selectivity and antiproliferative activity of previously reported serine amide phosphates (SAPs), we designed a new series of 4-thiazolidinone amides, in which the 4-thiazolidinone moiety was introduced as a phosphate mimic. However, these 4-thiazolidinone derivatives demonstrated less cytotoxicity in prostate cancer cells despite improved selectivity over RH7777 cells. To further optimize the thiazolidinone analogues in terms of cytotoxicity and selectivity, we made closely related structural modifications, which led us to the discovery of a new class of 2-arylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid amides. These compounds were potent cytotoxic agents with IC50 values in the low micromolar concentration range and demonstrated enhanced selectivity in receptor-negative cells compared to SAPs and 4-thiazolidinone amides.
