Second generation tetrahydroquinoline-based protein farnesyltransferase inhibitors as antimalarials.
Substituted tetrahydroquinolines (THQs) have been previously identified as inhibitors of mammalian protein farnesyltransferase (PFT). Previously we showed that blocking PFT in the malaria parasite led to cell death and that THQ-based inhibitors are the most potent among several structural classes of PFT inhibitors (PFTIs). We have prepared 266 THQ-based PFTIs and discovered several compounds th...
متن کاملImidazolopiperazines: Lead Optimization of the Second-Generation Antimalarial Agents
On the basis of the initial success of optimization of a novel series of imidazolopiperazines, a second generation of compounds involving changes in the core piperazine ring was synthesized to improve antimalarial properties. These changes were carried out to further improve the potency and metabolic stability of the compounds by leveraging the outcome of a set of in vitro metabolic identificat...
متن کاملTechnetium-99m tricarbonyl labeled a broad-spectrum quinolone as a specific imaging agent in infection diseases
Nuclear medicine imaging has been used to localize infection sites and efforts have been continued to develop modified infection specific radiopharmaceuticals. In this study gemifloxacin as a broad-spectrum quinolone has been labeled with [99mTc (CO)3 (H2O)3]+ core in order to evaluate its feasibility as an infection imaging agent for in vivo use. The stability of radioconjugate was checked in ...
متن کاملMucin biopolymers as broad-spectrum antiviral agents.
Mucus is a porous biopolymer matrix that coats all wet epithelia in the human body and serves as the first line of defense against many pathogenic bacteria and viruses. However, under certain conditions viruses are able to penetrate this infection barrier, which compromises the protective function of native mucus. Here, we find that isolated porcine gastric mucin polymers, key structural compon...
متن کاملLight as a Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial
Antimicrobial resistance is a significant and growing concern. To continue to treat even simple infections, there is a pressing need for new alternative and complementary approaches to antimicrobial therapy. One possible addition to the current range of treatments is the use of narrow-wavelength light as an antimicrobial, which has been shown to eliminate a range of common pathogens. Much progr...
