N-(Aminoalkyl)azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes possess antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activity. A series with terminal tetrazole or sulfonamido partial structure was prepared. The structures of all new compounds were confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopy and by mass spectral data. A single crystal structure analysis enabled the distinction between isomers. The antiprotozoal activities were examined in vitro against strains of Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (STIB 900). The most active sulfonamide and tetrazole derivates showed activities in the submicromolar range.
2,4-Diaminopyrimidines and (dialkylamino)azabicyclo-nonanes possess activity against protozoan parasites. A series of fused hybrids were synthesized and tested in vitro against pathogens of malaria tropica and sleeping sickness. The activities and selectivities of compounds strongly depended on the substitution pattern of both ring systems as well as on the position of the nitrogen atom in the bicycles. The most promising hybrids of 3-azabicyclo-nonane with 2-aminopyrimidine showed activity against P. falciparum NF54 in submicromolar concentration and high selectivity. A hybrid with pyrrolidino substitution of the 2-azabicyclo-nonane as well as of the pyrimidine moiety exhibited promising activity against the multiresistant K1 strain of P. falciparum. A couple of hybrids of 2-azabicyclo-nonanes with 2-(dialkylamino)pyrimidines possessed high activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense STIB900 and good selectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
