Nine new fluorinated analogues were synthesised by late-stage functionalisation using Diversinate™ chemistry on the Open Source Malaria (OSM) triazolopyrazine scaffold (Series 4). The structures of all analogues were fully characterised by NMR, UV and MS data analysis; three triazolopyrazines were confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The inhibitory activity of all compounds against the growth of the malaria parasite (3D7 and Dd2 strains) and the cytotoxicity against a human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cell line were tested. Some of the compounds demonstrated moderate antimalarial activity with IC values ranging from 0.2 to >80 µM; none of the compounds displayed any cytotoxicity against HEK293 cells at 80 µM. Antimalarial activity was significantly reduced when C-8 of the triazolopyrazine scaffold was substituted with CF and CFH moieties, whereas incorporation of a CFMe group at the same position completely abolished antiplasmodial effects.
通过后期官能化反应,使用Diversinate™化学方法在开源疟疾(OSM)三唑并吡嗪支架(系列4)上合成了九种新的氟化类似物。所有类似物的结构均通过核磁共振(NMR)、紫外(UV)和质谱(MS)数据分析进行了全面表征;三种三唑并吡嗪通过X射线晶体结构分析得到证实。测试了所有化合物对疟原虫(3D7和Dd2菌株)生长的抑制活性以及对人胚肾(HEK293)细胞系的细胞毒性。一些化合物表现出中等抗疟活性,IC值范围为0.2至>80 μM;在80 μM时,没有一种化合物对HEK293细胞显示出任何细胞毒性。当三唑并吡嗪支架的C-8被CF和CFH部分取代时,抗疟活性显著降低,而在同一位置引入CFMe基团则完全消除了抗疟原虫作用。
