Our previous work identified a series of 12 xanthoquinodin analogues and 2 emodin-dianthrones with broad-spectrum activities against , , , and . Analyses conducted in this study revealed that the most active analogue, xanthoquinodin A1, also inhibits tachyzoites and the liver stage of , with no cross-resistance to the known antimalarial targets PfACS, PfCARL, PfPI4K, or DHODH. In , inhibition occurs prior to multinucleation and induces parasite death following 12 h of compound exposure. This moderately fast activity has impeded resistance line generation, with xanthoquinodin A1 demonstrating an irresistible phenotype in both and .
我们之前的工作鉴定了一系列 12 种蒽醌二蒽酮类似物和 2 种大黄素-二蒽酮,它们对 、 、 和 具有广谱活性。本研究中的分析表明,最活跃的类似物,即蒽醌二蒽酮 A1,也抑制 速殖子和 肝期,与已知的抗疟靶点 PfACS、PfCARL、PfPI4K 或 DHODH 没有交叉耐药性。在 中,抑制作用发生在多核化之前,并在化合物暴露 12 小时后诱导寄生虫死亡。这种中等快速的活性阻碍了耐药性的产生,蒽醌二蒽酮 A1 在 和 中都表现出不可阻挡的表型。
