The in vitro activities of the new biguanide PS-15 and its putative active metabolite, WR99210, were determined against seven different isolates or clones of Plasmodium falciparum. The mean 50% inhibitory concentrations of PS-15 and WR99210 were 1,015 and 0.06 ng/ml, respectively. WR99210 was up to 363 times more potent than cycloguanil, the active metabolite of proguanil, against cycloguanil-resistant parasites. The pronounced activity of WR99210 against multidrug-resistant P. falciparum indicates that further studies are required to determine the value of the prodrug, PS-15, as an antimalarial agent.
测定了新型双胍类药物PS - 15及其假定的活性代谢物WR99210对七种不同的恶性疟原虫分离株或克隆的体外活性。PS - 15和WR99210的平均50%抑制浓度分别为1015和0.06纳克/毫升。在对抗环氯胍耐药寄生虫方面,WR99210的效力比氯胍的活性代谢物环氯胍高363倍。WR99210对多重耐药恶性疟原虫具有显著活性,这表明需要进一步研究来确定前药PS - 15作为抗疟药物的价值。
