“…In this sense, bile acids are of great interest in drug discovery because of their efficient transport system and their properties as adsorption enhancers [14]. All these observations led to the preparation of a new series of antiparasitic hybrids of Cinchona alkaloids and bile acids [15]. The strategy was to combine the antiparasitic properties of the natural Cinchona alkaloids, which are currently used to treat severe cases of malaria [16], with the known properties of the bile acids as drug transporters, especially taking into account that some bile acids also have mild antiparasitic activity [17,18].…”

“…In these compounds C-4 0 of the quinoline core is substituted, leaving C-2 0 as the only available position for a nucleophilic attack. From a biological point of view, the incorporation of a norcholane moiety to Cinchona alkaloids (quinine, quinidine, cinchonine and cinchonidine), had a positive effect on their in vitro antiparasitic activity against Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei [15]. In the first group of synthesized hybrids, the degree of oxidation of the bile acid moiety had a marked influence on the activity, since the compounds derived from chenodeoxycholic acid were more active than those prepared from lithocholic acid.…”

“…Although none of the conjugates 89 were more active in vitro than the corresponding Cinchona alkaloids, they all exhibited activities with IC 50 < 6 µg/mL, most of them even < 1 µg/mL. Moreover, hybrids 89 showed good selectivity indices 168. …”
