Oxidation of chloroquine drug by ferrate: Kinetics, reaction mechanism and antibacterial activity.

ABSTRACT: Chloroquine (CLQ) is required to manufacture on a larger scale to combat COVID-19. The wastewater containing CLQ will be discharged into the natural water, which was resistant to environmental degradation. Herein, the degradation of CLQ by ferrate (Fe(VI)) was investigated, and the biodegradability of the oxidation products was examined to evaluate the potential application in natural water treatment. The reaction between CLQ and Fe(VI) was pH-dependent and followed second-order kinetics. The species-specific rate constant of protonated Fe(VI) species (HFeO₄ ^-) was higher than that of the FeO₄ ^2- species. Moreover, increasing the reaction temperature could increase the degradation rate of CLQ. Besides, HCO₃ ^- had positive effect on CLQ removal, while HA had negative effect on CLQ removal. But the experiments shows Fe(VI) could be used as an efficient technique to degrade co-existing CLQ in natural waters. During the oxidation, Fe(VI) attack could lead to aromatic ring dealkylation and chloride ion substitution to form seven intermediate products by liquid chromatography-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS) determination. Finally, a pure culture test showed that the oxidation of CLQ by Fe(VI) could slightly increase the antimicrobial effect towards Escherichia coli (E.coli) and reduce the toxicity risk of intermediates. These findings might provide helpful information for the environmental elimination of CLQ.

Project description:BackgroundGiven the threat of resistance of human malaria parasites, including to artemisinin derivatives, new agents are needed. Chloroquine (CQ) has been the most widely used anti-malarial, and new analogs (CQAns) presenting alkynes and side chain variations with high antiplasmodial activity were evaluated.MethodsSix diaminealkyne and diaminedialkyne CQAns were evaluated against CQ-resistant (CQ-R) (W2) and CQ-sensitive (CQ-S) (3D7) Plasmodium falciparum parasites in culture. Drug cytotoxicity to a human hepatoma cell line (HepG2) evaluated, allowed to calculate the drug selectivity index (SI), a ratio of drug toxicity to activity in vitro. The CQAns were re-evaluated against CQ-resistant and -sensitive P. berghei parasites in mice using the suppressive test. Docking studies with the CQAns and the human (HssLDH) or plasmodial lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH) enzymes, and, a β-haematin formation assay were performed using a lipid as a catalyst to promote crystallization in vitro.ResultsAll tested CQAns were highly active against CQ-R P. falciparum parasites, exhibiting half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) values below 1 μΜ. CQAn33 and CQAn37 had the highest SIs. Docking studies revealed the best conformation of CQAn33 inside the binding pocket of PfLDH; specificity between the residues involved in H-bonds of the PfLDH with CQAn37. CQAn33 and CQAn37 were also shown to be weak inhibitors of PfLDH. CQAn33 and CQAn37 inhibited β-haematin formation with either a similar or a 2-fold higher IC(50) value, respectively, compared with CQ. CQAn37 was active in mice with P. berghei, reducing parasitaemia by 100%. CQAn33, -39 and -45 also inhibited CQ-resistant P. berghei parasites in mice, whereas high doses of CQ were inactive.ConclusionsThe presence of an alkyne group and the size of the side chain affected anti-P. falciparum activity in vitro. Docking studies suggested a mechanism of action other than PfLDH inhibition. The β-haematin assay suggested the presence of an additional mechanism of action of CQAn33 and CQAn37. Tests with CQAn34, CQAn37, CQAn39 and CQAn45 confirmed previous results against P. berghei malaria in mice, and CQAn33, 39 and 45 were active against CQ-resistant parasites, but CQAn28 and CQAn34 were not. The result likely reflects structure-activity relationships related to the resistant phenotype.
