| Project Title: | Property and Activity Refinement of Dihydroquinazolinone-3-carboxamides as Orally Efficacious Antimalarials that Target PfATP4 |
| Project Summary: | The development of new antimalarial classes is pertinent because of resistance against the current antimalarial treatments. To contribute to the global effort to create new antimalarial therapies, we previously disclosed initial findings on the optimization of the dihydroquinazolinone-3-carboxamide class that targets PfATP4. The preliminary optimization generated analogs, such as 4, that exhibited potent in vitro asexual stage activity but only showed modest oral efficacy in a P. berghei mouse model attributed to its low aqueous solubility and modest metabolic stability. Here we report on correcting these parameters to improve in vivo efficacy. We show that the incorporation of heterocycle systems in the 8-position of the scaffold markedly improved aqueous solubility without a significant loss of asexual parasite activity. Certain configurations of pyrazoles in the 8-position were found to provide the greatest attainable balance between parasite activity, aqueous solubility, and metabolic stability. We were able to show that modifications made to the optimized analogs, such as WJM992 did not perturb the sensitivity to PfATP4 drug-resistant parasites or alter on-target activity in a PfATP4-associated parasite cytosolic Na+ flux assay and gave a distinct metabolic signature indicative of other PfATP4 inhibitors. The optimized analogs showed an appreciable efficacy in malaria mouse models and blocked sexual stage gamete development preventing transmission to mosquitoes. |
