Abstract
The antimalarial acitivity of hydroxyethylamines, synthesized from the reaction of intermediated hydroxyethypiperazines with benzenesulfonyl chlorides or benzoyl chlorides, has been evaluated in vitro against a W2 Plasmodium falciparum clone. Some of the nineteen tested derivatives showed a significant activity in vitro, thus turning into a promising new class of antimalarials. In addition, a molecular modeling study of the most active derivative (5l) was performed and its most probable binding modes within plasmepsin II enzyme were identified.
Graphical abstractThe synthesis, antimalarial activities and molecular modeling study of hydroxyethylpiperazines are reported.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
