  • Antimalarial drugs are an urgently need and crucial tool in the campaign against malaria, which can threaten public health. In this study, we examined the cytotoxicity of the 9 antimalarial compounds chemically synthesized using SKM13-2HCl. Except for SKM13-2HCl, the 5 newly synthesized compounds had a 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) >100 μM, indicating that they would be less cytotoxic than SKM13-2HCl. Among the 5 compounds, only SAM13-2HCl outperformed SKM13-2HCl for antimalarial activity, showing a 3- and 1.3-fold greater selective index (SI) (CC50/IC50) than SKM13-2HCl in vitro against both chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) and chloroquine -resistant (K1) Plasmodium falciparum strains, respectively. Thus, the presence of morpholine amide may help to effectively suppress human-infectious P. falciparum parasites. However, the antimalarial activity of SAM13-2HCl was inferior to that of the SKM13-2HCl template compound in the P. berghei NK65-infected mouse model, possibly because SAM13-2HCl had a lower polarity and less efficient pharmacokinetics than SKM13-2HCl. SAM13-2HCl was more toxic in the rodent model. Consequently, SAM13-2HCl containing morpholine was selected from screening a combination of pharmacologically significant structures as being the most effective in vitro against human-infectious P. falciparum but was less efficient in vivo in a P. berghei-infected animal model when compared with SKM13-2HCl. Therefore, SAM13-2HCl containing morpholine could be considered a promising compound to treat chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum infections, although further optimization is crucial to maintain antimalarial activity while reducing toxicity in animals.

  • Antimalarial drugs play an important role in the control and treatment of malaria, a deadly disease caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium spp. The development of novel antimalarial agents effective against drug-resistant malarial parasites is urgently needed. The novel derivatives, SKM13-MeO and SKM13-F, were designed based on an SKM13 template by replacing the phenyl group with electron-donating (-OMe) or electron-withdrawing groups (-F), respectively, to reverse the electron density. A colorimetric assay was used to quantify cytotoxicity, and in vitro inhibition assays were performed on 3 different blood stages (ring, trophozoite, and schizonts) of P. falciparum 3D7 and the ring/mixed stage of D6 strain after synchronization. The in vitro cytotoxicity analysis showed that 2 new SKM13 derivatives reduced the cytotoxicity of the SKM13 template. SKM13 maintained the IC50 at the ring and trophozoite stages but not at the schizont stage. The IC50 values for both the trophozoite stage of P. falciparum 3D7 and ring/mixed stages of D6 demonstrated that 2 SKM13 derivatives had decreased antimalarial efficacy, particularly for the SKM13-F derivative. SKM13 may be comparably effective in ring and trophozoite, and electron-donating groups (-OMe) may be better maintain the antimalarial activity than electron-withdrawing groups (-F) in SKM13 modification.

  • 연구배경 : 진폐증환자의 궁극적인 치료목표는 호흡분진의 독성에 의한 폐섬유화의 진행을 억제 시키는 것이다. Quinolyl piperazine phosphate(QP) chloroquine의 유도체로서 섬유화 억제 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 QP가 흰쥐 규폐증에 미치는 영향, 즉 폐섬유화 억제 정도를 알아보기 실험을 시도하였다. 방법 : 생리식염수 0.5ml에 유리규산 분진이 40mg 함유한 현탁액을 기도내에 주입하여 흰쥐 규폐증을 만들었고, 이중 QP 투여군에서는 QP 10mg을 유리규산 기도내 투여 직후 1주에 한번씩 경구 투여하였고 QP 투여는 쥐를 도살할때까지 계속하였다. 생리식염수군은 1주째에 그리고 유리규산 투여군 및 QP 투여군은 1주, 3주, 8주, 그리고 20주째에 각각 도살하여 시료를 얻었다. 결과: 1) QP 투여군에서는 실험기간에 따라 유리규산 투여군에 비하여 기관지폐포 세척액내 총 세포수가 감소된 경향을 보였으나 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 2) Luminol을 이용한 살아있는 폐포 염증세포의 화학발광은 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3) 좌측폐의 마른 무게는 3주와 8주째에서 유리규산 투여군에 비하여 QP 투여군에서 유의하게 적은 수치를 보였다. 4) 폐내 hydroxyproline 양은 3주째에 유리규산 투여군에 비하여 QP 투여군에서 유의하게 적은 수치를 보였다. 유리규산 투여군은 1주째에 비하여 3주째에 hydroxyproline 양이 현저히 증가한 소견을 보였으나 QP 투여군에서는 1주째에 비하여 hydroxyproline 양의 현저한 증가가 8주에서 관찰되었다. 5) 병리조직학적 소견상 QP 투여군은 유리규산 투여군에 비하여 세기관지 주위의 염증세포 침윤, 규폐결절의 수와 크기에 있어서 유사하였으나 섬유화의 정도는 덜하였다. 특히 유리규산 투여군의 몇 예에서 진행성 괴상성 섬유화가 관찰되었으나 QP 투여군에서는 관찰할 수 없었다. 결론 : Quinolyl piperazine phosphate (QP)는 유리규산 분진의 기도내 투여로 인한 폐장의 섬유화 반응을 현저히 억제시키지는 못하나 지연시키는 효과는 있는 것으로 사료되었다.
