Multi-stage drugs have been prioritized in antimalarial drug discovery, as targeting more than one process in the Plasmodium life cycle is likely to increase efficiency, while decreasing the chances of emergence of resistance by the parasite. Herein, we disclose two novel acridine-based families of compounds that combine the structural features of primaquine and chloroquine. Compounds prepared and studied thus far retained the in vitro activity displayed by the parent drugs against the erythrocytic stages of chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains, and against the hepatic stages of Plasmodium berghei, hence acting as dual-stage antiplasmodial hits.

Herein we report a practical protocol for the visible-light-induced regiodivergent radical hydropyridylation of unactivated alkenes using pyridinium salts. This approach provides a unified synthetic platform to control the regioselectivity of the synthesis of linear or branched C4-alkylated pyridines. A remarkable selectivity switch from the anti-Markovnikov to the Markovnikov product can be achieved by the addition of tetrabutylammonium bromide. The versatility of this protocol is further demonstrated based on the late-stage functionalization in pharmaceuticals.

Hybrid compounds may play a critical role in the context of the malaria eradication agenda, which will benefit from therapeutic tools active against the symptomatic erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium infection, and also capable of eliminating liver stage parasites. To address the need for efficient multistage antiplasmodial compounds, a small library of 1,2,4,5-tetraoxane-8- aminoquinoline hybrids, with the metabolically labile C-5 position of the 8-aminoquinoline moiety blocked with aryl groups, was synthesized and screened for antiplasmodial activity and metabolic stability. The hybrid compounds inhibited development of intra-erythrocytic forms of the multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum W2 strain, with EC50 values in the nM range, and with low cytotoxicity against mammalian cells. The compounds also inhibited the development of P. berghei liver stage parasites, with the most potent compounds displaying EC50 values in the low μM range. SAR analysis revealed that unbranched linkers between the endoperoxide and 8-aminoquinoline pharmacophores are most beneficial for dual antiplasmodial activity. Importantly, hybrids were significantly more potent than a 1:1 mixture of 8-aminoquinoline-tetraoxane, highlighting the superiority of the hybrid approach over the combination therapy. Furthermore, aryl substituents at C-5 of the 8-aminoquinoline moiety improve the compounds' metabolic stability when compared with their primaquine (i.e. C-5 unsubstituted) counterparts. Overall, this study reveals that blocking the quinoline C-5 position does not result in loss of dual-stage antimalarial activity, and that tetraoxane-8- aminoquinoline hybrids are an attractive approach to achieve elimination of exo- and intraerythrocytic parasites, thus with the potential to be used in malaria eradication campaigns.
