Antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activity of bicyclic amides and esters of dialkylamino acids
Several bicyclic amides and esters of dialkylamino acids were prepared. Their activities against a multiresistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum and against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (STIB 900) were examined. Structure-activity relationships were discussed. Particularly the ester compounds showed good antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activity and a single compound was tested in vivo against Plasmodium berghe
Antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activities of aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octyl omega-aminoalkanoates
Several 4-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octyl esters of omega-dialkylamino acids were prepared. Their activities against the multidrug-resistant K(1) strain of Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (STIB 900) were determined using microplate assays and compared to those of formerly prepared analogues. The biological activity was influenced by the relative configuration in ring position 2, by the chain length of the acid moiety and by the amino substitution. The most active antiplasmodial ester was as active as chloroquine. One of the new compounds exhibited the highest antitrypanosomal activity and selectivity of all bicyclo-octane derivatives prepared so far
