Discovery of new hit-molecules targeting Plasmodium falciparum through a global SAR study of the 4-substituted-2-trichloromethylquinazoline antiplasmodial scaffold

Add time:07/16/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

From 4 antiplasmodial hit-molecules identified in 2-trichloromethylquinazoline series, we conducted a global Structure-Activity relationship (SAR) study involving 26 compounds and covering 5 molecular regions (I – V), aiming at defining the corresponding pharmacophore and identifying new bioactive derivatives. Thus, after studying the aniline moiety in detail, thienopyrimidine, quinoline and quinoxaline bio-isosters were synthesized and tested on the K1 multi-resistant P. falciparum strain, along with a cytotoxicity evaluation on the human HepG2 cell line, to define selectivity indecies. SARs first showed that thienopyrimidines and quinolines were globally more cytotoxic, while quinoxaline analogs appeared as active as- and less cytotoxic than their quinazoline counterparts. Such pharmacomodulation in quinoxaline series not only provided a new antiplasmodial reference hit-molecule (IC50 = 0.4 μM, selectivity index = 100), but also highlighted an active (IC50 = 0.4 μM) and quite selective (SI = 265) synthesis intermediate.
