Enantioselective synthesis of encecaline-derived potent antimalarial agents.

چکیده
The high antiplasmodial activity of racemic benzylamines rac-1 and rac-2 stimulated the synthesis of pure enantiomers. Ellman's chiral sulfinamides (S)-6 and (R)-6 were used as chiral auxiliaries. Condensation of prochiral ketone 5 with enantiomerically pure sulfinamides (S)-6 and (R)-6 and subsequent NaBH4 reduction provided predominantly unlike configured diastereomers (S,R)-8 and (R,S)-8 (ratio unlike-8:like-8 = 90:10). The same transformation of phenol 4 led to the diastereomeric sulfinamides (S,R)-12 and (S,S)-12 in the ratio 60:40. Acid hydrolysis of the diastereomerically pure sulfinamides followed by monobenzylation yielded the enantiomerically pure benzylamines (R)-1, (S)-1, (R)-2 and (S)-2. The enantiomeric purity of the products was proven by chiral HPLC and the absolute configuration by CD-spectroscopy. Generally, benzylamines with (R)-configuration show higher antiplasmodial activity than their corresponding (S)-configured enantiomers. Phenol (R)-2 represents a very potent lead against P. falciparum, with an IC50 value of only 0.026 μM against the NF54 strain. The very high eudismic ratio of 34 indicates the enantioselective interaction of phenol (R)-2 with a particular target protein of P. falciparum.

Diastereoselective synthesis of potent antimalarial cis-β-lactam agents
Fifteen novel β-lactams bearing the N-ethyl tert-butyl carbamate group 5a-o and fifteen N-(2-aminoethyl) β-lactams 6a-o were synthesized by the ketene-imine [2+2] cycloaddition reaction (Staudinger ). The cycloaddition reaction was found to be totally diastereoselective leading exclusively to the formation of the cis-β-lactam derivatives. These newly synthesized β-lactams were evaluated for the...

Natural product-derived drugs exemplified by quinine, isolated from South American Cinchona species and artemisinin discovered in China are of immense importance for the treatment of malaria. Although malaria parasites resistant to artemisinin have not yet been found in malaria patients, the need for new antimalarial agents remains. The burden of malaria is heaviest in Africa where over a milli...

متن کاملSynthesis and Potent Antimalarial Activity of Kalihinol B
Of the 50+ kalihinane diterpenoids reported to date, only five had been tested for antimalarial activity, in spite of the fact that kalihinol A is the most potent among the members of the larger family of antimalarial isocyanoterpenes. We have validated a strategy designed to access many of the kalihinanes with a 12-step enantioselective synthesis of kalihinol B, the tetrahydrofuran isomer of k...
