Title: Imidazolidin-4-one peptidomimetic derivatives of primaquine: Synthesis and antimalarial activity
Issue Date: 2008
Abstract: The synthesis of imidazolidin-4-one derivatives of primaquine containing the five-membered ring at the C-terminus of a dipeptide backbone coupled to the parent drug is described. These peptidomimetic derivatives were active against a chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum strain and inhibited the development of the sporogonic cycle of Plasmodium berghei, affecting the appearance of oocysts in the midguts of the mosquitoes. The novel imidazolidin-4-ones are extremely stable, both in human plasma and in pH 7.4 buffer, as a result of N(1)-acylation. Thus, 'internal' imidazolidin-4-ones derived from dipeptidyl 8-aminoquinolines represent a new entry in antimalarial structure-activity relationships.
