4-Aminoquinolines Active against Chloroquine-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum: Basis of Antiparasite Activity and Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Analyses

Abstract: Chloroquine (CQ) is a safe and economical 4-aminoquinoline (AQ) antimalarial. However, its value has been severely compromised by the increasing prevalence of CQ resistance. This study examined 108 AQs, including 68 newly synthesized compounds. Of these 108 AQs, 32 (30%) were active only against CQ-susceptible Plasmodium falciparum strains and 59 (55%) were active against both CQ-susceptible and CQ-resistant P. falciparum strains (50% inhibitory concentrations [IC 50 s], <25 nM). All AQs active against both CQ… Show more

“…The HIV protease inhibitor saquinavir was also recently reported to have antimalarial activity by virtue of inhibiting PfCRT and acting as a CQR reversal agent [81]. Chemical modifications to CQ are also being engineered to develop potent analogs that overcome mutant PfCRT-mediated drug efflux [82, 83]. These chemical approaches illustrate the practical benefit gained from defining the molecular basis of CQR.…”

“…For example, shortening or lengthening the diaminoalkane side chain of CQ improves its activity against CQR parasites [193][194][195]. One of these short side-chain analogues of CQ, AQ13 (Fig.…”

“…CQ and SQV are both largely discarded drugs-the emergence of resistant parasites has rendered CQ largely ineffective (except when double-dose regimens are employed [35]), and SQV has been superseded by next-generation APIs. Nevertheless, new CQlike drugs that are effective against CQ-resistant parasites are being developed (6,15,17,24) and are undergoing clinical trials (22), and these could be paired with a next-generation SQV that possesses intrinsic antimalarial activity as well as the ability to inhibit mutant PfCRT. This would place an additional CQR -mediated CQ transport was calculated by subtracting the uptake measured in oocytes expressing D10 PfCRT CQS from that in oocytes expressing Dd2 PfCRT CQR .…”
