Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of New 2-Phenoxybenzamides with Antiplasmodial Activity
The 2-phenoxybenzamide <b>1</b> from the Medicines for Malaria Venture Malaria Box Project has shown promising multi-stage activity against different strains of <i>P. falciparum</i>. It was successfully synthesized via a retrosynthetic approach. Subsequently, twenty-one new d...

The 2-phenoxybenzamide <b>1</b> from the Medicines for Malaria Venture Malaria Box Project has shown promising multi-stage activity against different strains of <i>P. falciparum</i>. It was successfully synthesized via a retrosynthetic approach. Subsequently, twenty-one new derivatives were prepared and tested for their in vitro activity against blood stages of the NF54 strain of <i>P. falciparum</i>. Several insights into structure-activity relationships were revealed. The antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of compounds strongly depended on the substitution pattern of the anilino partial structure as well as on the size of substituents. The diaryl ether partial structure had further impacts on the activity. Additionally, several physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated (log P, log D<sub>7</sub>.<sub>4</sub> and ligand efficiency) or determined experimentally (passive permeability and CYP3A4 inhibition). The <i>tert</i>-butyl-4-{4-[2-(4-fluorophenoxy)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamido]phenyl}piperazine-1-carboxylate possesses high antiplasmodial activity against <i>P. falciparum</i> NF54 (<i>Pf</i>NF54 IC<sub>50</sub> = 0.2690 µM) and very low cytotoxicity (L-6 cells IC<sub>50</sub> = 124.0 µM) resulting in an excellent selectivity index of 460.
