Abstract

Introduction: In this work DHPMs were combined with the quinoline nucleus to obtain new quinolinyl-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,5-dione compounds with improved antiplasmodial activity as well as decreased cytotoxicity. Nineteen quinolinyl-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,5-dione derivatives connected by a linker group to quinolone ring moieties with different substituents were synthesized and assayed against P. falciparum.

Materials and Methods: Nineteen quinolinyl-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,5-dione derivatives connected by a linker group to quinoline ring moieties with different substituents were synthesized and assayed against chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum, along with the reference drug chloroquine. Among these compounds, the derivatives with two methylene carbon spacers showed the best activity accompanied by low cytotoxicity.

Results: The derivative without substituents on the aromatic ring (2a) and the derivative with a chlorine group at position 4 (2d) provided the best results, with IC50 = 1.15 µM and 1.5 µM, respectively.

Conclusion: Compared to the parent drugs, these compounds presented marked decreases in cytotoxicity, with MDL50 values over 1,000 µM and selectivity indexes of >869.5 and >666.6, respectively. The quinolinyl-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,5-dione framework appears to be promising for further studies as an antimalarial for overcoming the burden of resistance in P. falciparum.

Keywords: Multicomponent reactions, Biginelli, Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Quinolinyl-pyrrolo[3, 4-d]pyrimidine-2, 5- dione, Plasmodium falciparum.
