Kinetic studies and bioactivity of potential manzamine prodrugs.


ABSTRACT: The manzamines represent a class of marine natural products that show considerable promise in the control of malaria but generate GI distress in rodents when administered orally in high doses. In an effort to generate manzamine prodrugs with improved antimalarial activity and reduced GI toxicity, we prepared acetylated 8-hydroxymanzamine A analogues including 8-acetoxymanzamine A (3) and 8,12-diacetoxymanzamine A (4), and 8-methoxymanzamine A (5) beginning with 8-hydroxymanzamine A (2). The semisynthetic analogues were assayed for antimalarial and antimicrobial activities, cytotoxicity, and biological and chemical stability. Due to gradual hydrolysis of the ester group, application of monoacetate 3 as an antimalarial prodrug was investigated. The in vitro and in vivo bioassays show that acetylated analogues exhibit significant antimalarial activity (IC50( 3) 9.6-30 ng/mL), which are comparable to the parent molecule; however the monoaceate 3 was shown to actually produce higher toxicity at 30 mg/kg when administered orally.
