Abstract

A small library of antiplasmodial methoxy-​thiazinoquinones, rationally designed on the model of the previously identified hit 1, has been prepd. by a simple and inexpensive procedure. The synthetic derivs. have been subjected to in vitro pharmacol. screening, including antiplasmodial and toxicity assays. These studies afforded a new lead candidate, compd. 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 compds. and on their putative mechanism of action.
