Synthesis of (6-Methoxy-2,5-dinitro-quinoline-4-yl)-(5-vinyl-1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yl)-methanol) and In Vitro Assay Against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7

Quinine, a naturally happening alkaloid initially utilized for the treatment of muscle cramps, is currently most usually utilized to treat malaria. Symptoms of poisonous quinine, called Cinchonism, include wooziness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, serious adverse reaction to excessive quinine use, vision impairment and deafness. This research aimed to obtain more polar quinine derivatives using reactions with sulfuric acid and nitric acid to reduce toxicity. The reactions were performed analogously to the procedures reported in the literature. The characterization of reaction products utilizing proton (1H) and carbon-13 (13C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy showed that the reaction using reagents led to nitration of the quinoline ring with the yields of 7.09 %. The IC50 value of >10.000 μg/mL was obtained from the antimalarial test against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7. The IC50 values proved that the synthesis products (6-Methoxy-2,5-dinitro-quinoline-4-yl)-(5- vinyl-1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yl)-methanol) was not potential for malaria treatment

Sintesis dan Evaluasi Antimalaria In Vitro Turunan Kinin Terhadap Plasmodium falciparum

Nowadays kinin is the most effective antimalarial drug and its used as an alternative in malaria treatment. However, toxicity of quinine restrict its use as an antimalarial drug. Lipophilicity and long half-life (t½) of quinine that reach 10-20 hours are responsible for its toxicity. The aim of this research is to obtain more polar quinine derivatives by means of hydrogen peroxide reactions to reduce the toxicity. The reactions using hydrogen peroxyde is performed analogously to the procedures reported in the literature. Extract of pure anhydrous kinin is purified in coloumn chromatography followed by structure elucidation. Synthetic product is tested in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum. The characterization of reaction products is performed with proton (1H) and carbon 13 (13C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It showed that the reaction using reagents led to epoxidation of vinyl substituents of chinuclidine ring with 61,08% yields. Antimalarial test against Plasmodium falciparum obtained 1.250-2.500 μg/mL of IC50 value. The IC50 values indicated that the synthesis products were not potential for malaria treatment
