Design and Synthesis of Hydroxyferroquine Derivatives with Antimalarial and Antiviral Activities

Abstract: Three ferroquine (FQ) derivatives, closely mimicking the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have been prepared. Whereas these organometallic compounds provide the expected reduced cytotoxic effects compared to FQ, they inhibit in vitro growth of Plasmodium falciparum far better than chloroquine (CQ). Moreover, this new class of bioorganometallic compounds exert antiviral effects with some selectivity towards SARS-CoV infection. These new drugs may offer an interesting alternative for Asia where SARS or… Show more

It has also been shown to inhibit viruses in cell culture including herpes simplex virus, HIV, tick-borne encephalitis virus and rotavirus (Bermejo et al, 2003), and has been in clinical trials for treating certain age groups infected with hepatitis B virus, showing modest beneficial effects (Bermejo et al, 2003) (Table 1 (Bray et al, 2002) (Sainz et al, 2004;Stroher et al, 2004) IFN-α (Cinatl et al, 2003;Sainz et al, 2004;Stroher et al, 2004) and from a study by Weck et al (1982) showing that a single high dose of human IFN-α (100,000 IU) could protect mice from death due encephalomyocarditis virus infection.…”

“…3,4 The biological activity of ferrocenyl analogues of established drugs (e.g. ferroquine 5 or ferrocifen 6 ) or ferrocene conjugates with aminoacids, peptides, DNA, and other biomolecules has been evaluated and interesting medicinal properties have been evidenced. 7 The major part of chiral ferrocenes has been designed for use in asymmetric synthesis and several ferrocenebased ligands, mainly phosphines 8 or aminoalcohols, 9 have been found effective in catalyzing different reactions with high enantioselectivity.…”

“…In vivo experiments performed on rodent Plasmodium species demonstrated powerful activity of the drug and a high oral bioavailability, two major qualities for selecting lead compounds for further development (6,11). In vitro susceptibility of FQ has been tested in different culture-adapted P. falciparum strains (5,11,12) and field isolates from Gabon, Africa, Senegal, Cambodia, and Thailand (1,4,9,21,22) and has proven to be effective against CQ-sensitive (CQS) and CQR strains. More recently, the ex vivo activity of FQ against chloroquine-sensitive strains of P. vivax has been demonstrated in Thailand (19).…”
