We prepared des-tert-butyl Janadolide and evaluated its antitrypanosomal activity. Our findings suggest that the tert-butyl group is necessary for the desired bioactivity.1 aAthawale, Paresh, R.1 aJachak, Gorakh1 aShukla, Anurag1 aShanmugam, Dhanasekaran1 aReddy, Srinivasa uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/efforts-access-potent-antitrypanosomal-marine-natural-product-janadolide-synthesis-des-tert04015nas a2200217 4500008004100000245010000041210006900141260000800210300001600218490000600234520328400240100001803524700001603542700002203558700001703580700001703597700001803614700001703632700002103649856012703670 2021 eng d00aDesign, synthesis, and structural analysis of cladosporin-based inhibitors of malaria parasites0 aDesign synthesis and structural analysis of cladosporinbased inh cJUL a1777–17940 v73 a

Here we have described a systematic structure activity relationship (SAR) of a set of compounds inspired from cladosporin, a tool compound that targets parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) lysyl tRNA synthetase (KRS). Four sets of analogues, synthesized based on point changes in the chemical scaffold of cladosporin and other logical modifications and hybridizations, were assessed using high throughput enzymatic and parasitic assays along with in vitro pharmacokinetics. Co-crystallization of the most potent compound in our series (CL-2) with PfKRS revealed its structural basis of enzymatic binding and potency. Further, we report that CL-2 has performed better than cladosporin in terms of metabolic stability. It thus represents a new lead for further optimization toward the development of antimalarial drugs. Collectively, along with a lead compound, the series offers insights on how even the slightest chemical modification might play an important role in enhancing or decreasing the potency of a chemical scaffold.
