Identification of Fast-Acting 2,6-Disubstituted Imidazopyridines That Are Efficacious in the in Vivo Humanized Plasmodium falciparum NODscidIL2Rγnull Mouse Model of Malaria
2018
Optimization of a chemical series originating from whole-cell phenotypic screening against the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, led to the identification of two promising 2,6-disubstituted imidazopyridine compounds, 43 and 74. These compounds exhibited potent activity against asexual blood stage parasites that, together with their in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties, translated to in vivo efficacy with clearance of parasites in the PfSCID mouse model for malaria within 48 h of treatment.
