| Project Title: | New class of heterospirocyclic compounds present strong and rapid activity against artemisinin- and multidrug-resistant P. falciparum parasites |
| Project Summary: | Malaria remains a significant health burden and a leading contributor to global mortality rates. Increasing drug resistance creates an urgent demand for novel treatment options. We have synthesised a new class of heterospirocyclic compounds with novel chemical connectivities. Compounds 25 and 26 display antimalarial activity within 24 h and have similar potency against a panel of drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent of human malaria parasites, including parasites resistant to the frontline artemisinin antimalarials. C25 and C26 do not induce major toxicity in kidney- and hepatic-derived human cell lines, highlighting their specificity. Untargeted metabolomics analysis of P. falciparum infected red blood cells revealed that the mechanism of action of C25 involves disruption of the pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway and haemoglobin catabolism. These heterospirocyclic compounds represent a promising opportunity for antimalarial drug development and could prove relevant against drug resistant malaria. |
