Plasmodium falciparum cysteine protease falcipain-2 (FP-2) is a promising target for antimalarial chemotherapy and inhibition of this protease affects the growth of parasite adversely. A series of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro FP-2 inhibitory potential. Compounds (14,17) showed excellent FP-2 inhibition and can serve as lead compounds for further development of potent FP-2 inhibitors as potential antimalarial drugs.
恶性疟原虫半胱氨酸蛋白酶 falcipain-2(FP-2)是抗疟化疗的一个有前途的靶点,抑制这种蛋白酶会对寄生虫的生长产生不利影响。合成了一系列吡啶并[1,2-a]嘧啶-4-酮,并评估了它们对体外 FP-2 的抑制潜力。化合物(14,17)对 FP-2 具有优异的抑制作用,可作为进一步开发强效 FP-2 抑制剂作为潜在抗疟药物的先导化合物。
