Exploring the antimalarial potential of the methoxy-thiazinoquinone scaffold: Identification of a new lead candidate
A small library of antiplasmodial methoxy-thiazinoquinones, rationally designed on the model of the previously identified hit 1, has been prepared by a simple and inexpensive procedure. The synthetic derivatives have been subjected to in vitro pharmacological screening, including antiplasmodial and toxicity assays. These studies afforded a new lead candidate, compound 9, endowed with higher antiplasmodial potency compared to 1, a good selectivity index when tested against a panel of mammalian cells, no toxicity against RBCs, a synergistic antiplasmodial action in combination with dihydroartemisinin, and a promising inhibitory activity on stage V gametocyte growth. Computational studies provided useful insights into the structural requirements needed for the antiplasmodial activity of thiazinoquinone compounds and on their putative mechanism of action.
