    Description: Most malaria drug development focuses on parasite stages detected in red blood cells, even though, to achieve eradication, next-generation drugs active against both erythrocytic and exo-erythrocytic forms would be preferable. We applied a multifactorial approach to a set of 〉4000 commercially available compounds with previously demonstrated blood-stage activity (median inhibitory concentration 〈 1 micromolar) and identified chemical scaffolds with potent activity against both forms. From this screen, we identified an imidazolopiperazine scaffold series that was highly enriched among compounds active against Plasmodium liver stages. The orally bioavailable lead imidazolopiperazine confers complete causal prophylactic protection (15 milligrams/kilogram) in rodent models of malaria and shows potent in vivo blood-stage therapeutic activity. The open-source chemical tools resulting from our effort provide starting points for future drug discovery programs, as well as opportunities for researchers to investigate the biology of exo-erythrocytic forms.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3473092/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3473092/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Meister, Stephan -- Plouffe, David M -- Kuhen, Kelli L -- Bonamy, Ghislain M C -- Wu, Tao -- Barnes, S Whitney -- Bopp, Selina E -- Borboa, Rachel -- Bright, A Taylor -- Che, Jianwei -- Cohen, Steve -- Dharia, Neekesh V -- Gagaring, Kerstin -- Gettayacamin, Montip -- Gordon, Perry -- Groessl, Todd -- Kato, Nobutaka -- Lee, Marcus C S -- McNamara, Case W -- Fidock, David A -- Nagle, Advait -- Nam, Tae-gyu -- Richmond, Wendy -- Roland, Jason -- Rottmann, Matthias -- Zhou, Bin -- Froissard, Patrick -- Glynne, Richard J -- Mazier, Dominique -- Sattabongkot, Jetsumon -- Schultz, Peter G -- Tuntland, Tove -- Walker, John R -- Zhou, Yingyao -- Chatterjee, Arnab -- Diagana, Thierry T -- Winzeler, Elizabeth A -- R01 AI079709/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI079709-04/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI090141/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI090141-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01AI090141/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- WT078285/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Dec 9;334(6061):1372-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1211936.

    Description: Recent reports of increased tolerance to artemisinin derivatives--the most recently adopted class of antimalarials--have prompted a need for new treatments. The spirotetrahydro-beta-carbolines, or spiroindolones, are potent drugs that kill the blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax clinical isolates at low nanomolar concentration. Spiroindolones rapidly inhibit protein synthesis in P. falciparum, an effect that is ablated in parasites bearing nonsynonymous mutations in the gene encoding the P-type cation-transporter ATPase4 (PfATP4). The optimized spiroindolone NITD609 shows pharmacokinetic properties compatible with once-daily oral dosing and has single-dose efficacy in a rodent malaria model.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3050001/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3050001/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rottmann, Matthias -- McNamara, Case -- Yeung, Bryan K S -- Lee, Marcus C S -- Zou, Bin -- Russell, Bruce -- Seitz, Patrick -- Plouffe, David M -- Dharia, Neekesh V -- Tan, Jocelyn -- Cohen, Steven B -- Spencer, Kathryn R -- Gonzalez-Paez, Gonzalo E -- Lakshminarayana, Suresh B -- Goh, Anne -- Suwanarusk, Rossarin -- Jegla, Timothy -- Schmitt, Esther K -- Beck, Hans-Peter -- Brun, Reto -- Nosten, Francois -- Renia, Laurent -- Dartois, Veronique -- Keller, Thomas H -- Fidock, David A -- Winzeler, Elizabeth A -- Diagana, Thierry T -- R01 AI059472/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI059472-04/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI059472-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01AI059472/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- WT078285/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Sep 3;329(5996):1175-80. doi: 10.1126/science.1193225.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Parasite Chemotherapy, CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20813948" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Intraerythrocytic malaria parasites can obtain nearly their entire amino acid requirement by degrading host cell hemoglobin. The sole exception is isoleucine, which is not present in adult human hemoglobin and must be obtained exogenously. We evaluated two compounds for their potential to interfere with isoleucine utilization. Mupirocin, a clinically used antibacterial, kills Plasmodium falciparum parasites at nanomolar concentrations. Thiaisoleucine, an isoleucine analog, also has antimalarial activity. To identify targets of the two compounds, we selected parasites resistant to either mupirocin or thiaisoleucine. Mutants were analyzed by genome-wide high-density tiling microarrays, DNA sequencing, and copy number variation analysis. The genomes of three independent mupirocin-resistant parasite clones had all acquired either amplifications encompassing or SNPs within the chromosomally encoded organellar (apicoplast) isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase. Thiaisoleucine-resistant parasites had a mutation in the cytoplasmic isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase. The role of this mutation in thiaisoleucine resistance was confirmed by allelic replacement. This approach is generally useful for elucidation of new targets in P. falciparum. Our study shows that isoleucine utilization is an essential pathway that can be targeted for antimalarial drug development.
