“…8-Aminoquinolines with modified aromatic ring (Fig. 11) Zhu et al synthesized a series of naphthyridine analogues of PQ [102]. The [1,5]naphthyridine ring has higher oxidation potential due to the presence of a second nitrogen atom in the aromatic system, which may prevent hydroxylation at the C-5 position, responsible for chemically reactive and potentially toxic metabolites.…”

“…PQ derivatives 31 were designed and synthesized by Zhu and coworkers, who found these compounds to have lower toxicity than PQ, due to a reduced tendency to produce chemically reactive toxic metabolites and metabolic intermediates [198]. Some of the compounds possessed therapeutic indices over 10 times superior to that of CQ [198].…”

“…A start point to tackle these issues is the molecular manipulation of known drugs or active classes of compound to generate new scaffolds with improved potency, safety or straightforward synthesis. Currently, analogues of existing antiparasitic drugs are under investigation for a variety of neglected diseases [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

Parasitic diseases are amongst the foremost threats to human health and welfare around the world. In tropical and subtropical regions of the world, the consequences of parasitic infections are devastating both in terms of human morbidity and mortality. The current available drugs are limited, ineffective, and require long treatment regimens. To overcome these limitations, the identification of new macromolecular targets and small-molecule modulators is of utmost importance. The advances in genomics and proteomics have prompted drug discovery to move toward more rational strategies. The increasing understanding of the fundamental principles of protein-ligand interactions combined with the availability of compound libraries has facilitated the identification of promising hits and the generation of high quality lead compounds for tropical diseases. This review presents the current progresses and applications of structure-based drug design (SBDD) for the discovery of innovative chemotherapy agents for a variety of parasitic diseases, highlighting the challenges, limitations, and future perspectives in medicinal chemistry.
