“…It can be difficult to draw SARs with pantothenamides or their analogues, [5,8,10,16,18,24,25,30] because their antimicrobiala ctivity is affected by multiple factors such as the participation of more than one enzyme during bioactivation, the possible involvement of multiple differentt argets in the mode of action (as expected forp antothenatea ntimetabolites), and of course,c ell Table 1. Effect of compounds 6a-b and 8a-i on the proliferation of P. falciparum in the presence of pantetheinases (unlesso therwise noted), reported as the 50 %i nhibitory concentration( IC 50 ), and predicted physicochemical parameters of compounds 1, 2, 6a-b,a nd 8a-i,i ncluding lipophilicity (LogP), molarr efractivity (MR), topological polar surface area (tPSA) or aqueous solubility (LogS).…”
