Abstract
We present investigations about the mechanism of action of a previously reported 4-anilino-2-trichloromethylquinazoline antiplasmodial hit-compound (Hit A), which did not share a common mechanism of action with established commercial antimalarials and presented a stage-specific effect on the erythrocytic cycle of P. falciparum at 8 < t < 16 h. The target of Hit A was searched by immobilising the molecule on a solid support via a linker and performing affinity chromatography on a plasmodial lysate. Several anchoring positions of the linker (6,7 and 3') and PEG-type linkers were assessed, to obtain a linked-hit molecule displaying in vitro antiplasmodial activity similar to that of unmodified Hit A. This allowed us to identify the PfPYK-1 kinase and the PfRab6 GTP-ase as potential targets of Hit A.

Abstract
Alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptors (AMPAR), subtype of the ionotropic glutamate receptors (IGRs), mediate fast synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS), and are involved in many neurological disorders, as well as being a key player in the formation of memory. Hence, ligands affecting AMPARs are highly important for the study of the structure and function of this receptor, and in this regard polyamine-based ligands, particularly polyamine toxins, are unique as they selectively block Ca2+ -permeable AMPARs. Indeed, endogenous intracellular polyamines are known to modulate the function of these receptors in vivo. In this study, recent developments in the medicinal chemistry of polyamine-based ligands are given, particularly focusing on the use of solid-phase synthesis (SPS) as a tool for the facile generation of libraries of polyamine toxin analogues. Moreover, the recent development of highly potent and very selective AMPAR ligands is described. Additionally, we provide a detailed account on the mechanism and site of action of AMPAR blockade by polyamine-based ligands, including examples of how these ligands are used as tools to study AMPAR, and a comparison with their action on other ionotropic receptors.

Abstract
Natural polyamines are ubiquitous biomolecules present in all living cells. These cationic compounds play essential roles in both cell growth and differentiation and are known to interact in complex ways with polyanionic biomolecules. Consequently, there is significant interest in expanding nature's polyamine diversity using combinatorial synthesis and screening strategies. This article describes an efficient split-pool solid-phase synthetic strategy toward the generation of encoded libraries of polyamines via the exhaustive borane-promoted reduction of trityl-linked, resin-bound polyamides. Model structural libraries of tetra- and pentaamines were designed from a set of geometrically diverse amino acid building blocks. To encode the libraries, a partial termination synthesis approach was employed at the polyamide stage, allowing each library to be analyzed from single beads by HPLC/ESMS under two sets of conditions featuring both pH extremes. Determination of the sequence of polyamine residues was simply achieved by the mass differences observed between the full oligomers and the terminated ones. Both polystyrene- and TentaGel-supported libraries, including a library of 4913 pentaamines, were prepared and successfully decoded. For the TentaGel-supported libraries, suitable for on-bead aqueous screening of biomolecules, a novel trityl-derivatized resin was prepared in which the trityl group is anchored to the poly(ethylene glycol) chains via a methylene group. The resulting resin is much more resistant than other commercially available polystyrene-poly(ethylene glycol) trityl resins to the harsh borane reduction conditions required. Two workup conditions for the cleavage of the resultant borane-amine adducts were evaluated on the TentaGel bound polyamide 14. Although the two methods showed a comparable efficiency when using the polystyrene support, with 14 it was found that the piperidine-exchange method afforded polyamines of higher purity than the iodine-based oxidative method previously developed in our laboratory.
