We present insights into the mechanism of action of marinoquinolines (MQ), a novel class of lead candidates. Using a divergent synthetic approach, we developed a series of 20 new analogues with fluorescence properties. Structure–activity relationships analysis identified 19 as an attractive compound showing a combination of favorable in vitro (IC503D7= 0.28 μM; CC50HepG2= 53 μM), ex vivo (EC50Pf= 1.2 μM; EC50Pv...
Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is the mainstay of effective treatment of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. However, the long-term utility of ACTs is imperiled by widespread partial artemisinin resistance in Southeast Asia and its recent emergence in parts of East Africa. This underscores the need to identify chemotypes with new modes of action (MoAs) to circumvent resistance to ACTs. In this study, we...
Medicinal plants have historically been a source of drugs in multiple applications, including the treatment of malaria infections. The Cabo Verde archipelago harbors a rich diversity of native plants, most of which are used for medicinal purposes. The present study investigated the in vitro antiplasmodial activities of four native plants from Cabo Verde (i.e., Artemisia gorgonum, Lavandula rotundifolia, Siderox...
