Rational Design and Lead Optimisation of Potent Antimalarial Quinazolinediones and Their Cytotoxicity against MCF-7. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28072999. [PMID: 37049762 PMCID: PMC10096129 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28072999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Quinazolinedione is one of the most outstanding heterocycles in medicinal chemistry thanks to its wide ranges of biological activities including antimalarial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory. TCMDC-125133 containing a quinazolinedione pharmacophore displays promising antimalarial activity and low toxicity, as described in the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) report. Herein, the design and synthesis of novel quinazolinedione derivatives is described on the basis of our previous work on the synthesis of TCMDC-125133, where low-cost chemicals and greener alternatives were used when possible. The initial SAR study focused on the replacement of the valine linker moiety; according to the in silico prediction using SwissADME, concise four-step syntheses toward compounds 4–10 were developed. The in-house synthesized compounds 4–10 were assayed for antimalarial activity against P. falciparum 3D7, and the result revealed that only the compound 2 containing a valine linker was tolerated. Another round of lead optimization focused on the replacement of the m-anisidine moiety in compound 2. A library of 12 derivatives was prepared, and the antimalarial assay showed that potent antimalarial activity could be maintained by replacing the methoxy group in the meta position of the phenyl side chain with a fluorine or chlorine atom (21: IC50 = 36 ± 5 nM, 24: IC50 = 22 ± 5 nM). Further lead optimization is underway to enhance the antimalarial activity of this class of compound. The compounds included in the study possess little to no antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
This report summarizes the latest published data on the antiproliferative action and cytotoxic activity of Mannich bases, a structurally heterogeneous category of chemical entities that includes compounds which are synthesized via the grafting of an aminomethyl function onto diverse substrates by means of the Mannich reaction. The present overview of the topic is an update to the information assembled in a previously published review that covered the literature up to 2014.

Abstract
Quinazolinedione is one of the most notable pharmacophores in drug discovery due to its broad spectrum of biological activities including antimalarial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and others. TCMDC-125133, whose structure features a quinazolinedione core, exhibits promising antimalarial activity and low toxicity as described in the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) report. Herein, a concise four-step synthesis towards quinazolinedione TCMDC-125133 is described using low cost goods and greener alternatives where possible. All synthesized compounds were characterized using polarimetry, IR, NMR, and mass spectrometry. The in-house synthesized TCMDC-125133 was evaluated for its antimalarial activity against P. falciparum 3D7 and antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cell line.
