    Malaria Journal, 2015
    BACKGROUND: Emergence of drug-resistant parasite strains has surfaced as a major obstacle in attempts to ameliorate malaria. Current treatment regimen of malaria relies on the concept of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). METHODS: Fluoroquinolone analogues, compounds 10, 12 and 18 were investigated for their anti-malarial interaction in combination with artemisinin in vitro, against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain, employing fixed-ratio combination isobologram method. In addition, the efficacy of these compounds was evaluated intraperitoneally in BALB/c mice infected with chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium berghei ANKA strain in the Peters' four-day suppressive test. RESULTS: Promising results were obtained in the form of synergistic or additive interactions. Compounds 10 and 12 were found to have highly synergistic interactions with artemisinin. Antiplasmodial effect was further verified by the convincing ED50 values of these compounds, which ranged between 2.31 and 3.09 (mg/kg BW). CONCLUSIONS: In vivo studies substantiated the potential of the fluoroquinolone derivatives to be developed as synergistic partners for anti-malarial drug combinations.

    Twenty‐seven novel chalcone derivatives were synthesized using Claisen‐Schmidt condensation and their antimalarial activity against asexual blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum was determined. Antiplasmodial IC50 (half‐maximal inhibitory concentration) activity of a compound against malaria parasites in vitro provides a good first screen for identifying the antimalarial potential of the compound. The most active compound was 1‐(4‐benzimidazol‐1‐yl‐phenyl)‐3‐(2, 4‐dimethoxy‐phenyl)‐propen‐1‐one with IC50 of 1.1 μg/mL, while that of the natural phytochemical, licochalcone A is 1.43 μg/mL. The presence of methoxy groups at position 2 and 4 in chalcone derivatives appeared to be favorable for antimalarial activity as compared to other methoxy‐substituted chalcones. Furthermore, 3, 4, 5‐trimethoxy groups on chalcone derivative probably cause steric hindrance in binding to the active site of cysteine protease enzyme, explaining the relative lower inhibitory activity.

    Chalcone derivatives were evaluated for their antifilarial activity on Setaria cervi using glutathione-S-transferase (GST) as a drug target. The compounds 1-(4-benzotriazol-1-yl-phenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (5), and 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-phenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (7) showed a significant suppression (P < 0.01) in GST activity of adult female parasite extract at 3 μM concentration in vitro. However, GST activity was detected along with depletion in GSH level. Except Compounds 1 and 2, all exhibited a significant effect on the motility and viability of adult parasites. Compounds 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-piperidin-1-yl-phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (3), 1-(4-benzotriazol-1-yl-phenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (5), and 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-phenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (7) exhibited major irreversible effects on viability and resulted in parasite death and also inhibited the GST activity by 84–100% in vitro. We report for the first time the antifilarial activity of chalcones on GST of adult parasites. This study also strengthens our previous findings where GST is reported as a potential drug target for antifilarials.
