RESUMEN

Antimalarial resistance has hampered the effective treatment of malaria, a parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium species. As part of our campaign on phenotypic screening of phenylhydrazones, a library of six phenylhydrazones was reconstructed and evaluated for their in vitro antimalarial and in silico receptor binding and pharmacokinetic properties. The structures of the phenylhydrazone hybrids were largely confirmed using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. We identified two compounds which exhibited significant antimalarial potential against the ring stage (trophozoite) of 3D7 chloroquine-sensitive (CS) strain and DD2 chloroquine-resistant (CR) strains of Plasmodium falciparum with monosubstituted analogs bearing meta or para electron-donating groups showing significant activity in the single-digit micromolar range. Structure activity relationship is presented showing that electron-donating groups on the substituent hydrophobic pharmacophore are required for antimalarial activity. Compounds PHN6 and PHN3 were found to be the most potent with pIC50s (calculated form in vitro IC50s) of 5.37 and 5.18 against 3D7 CS and DD2 CR strains, respectively. Our selected ligands (PHN3 and PHN6) performed better when compared to chloroquine regarding binding affinity and molecular stability with the regulatory proteins of Plasmodium falciparum, hence predicted to be largely responsible for their in vitro activity. Pharmacokinetic prediction demonstrated that the phenylhydrazones may not cross the blood-brain barrier and are not P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates, a good absorption of 62% to 69%, and classified as a category IV compound based on toxicity grading.
