The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiplasmodial activity in vitro against both the CQ-sensitive and resistant strains of P. falciparum. Interestingly, all the synthesized nucleoside analogs exhibited an IC50 of <5 μM, while compounds 22a, 23a, and 23b showed promising antiplasmodial activity with an IC50 of 1.61, 0.88, and 1.01 μM against the CQ-sensitive Pf3D7 strain and 1.14, 1.01, and 2.57 μM against the CQ-resistant PfK1 strain, respectively.MedChemComm1232-1238https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC6071838biostudies-literatureSynthesis and antiplasmodial activity of purine-based C-nucleoside analogues.PMC6071838Shukla SKJoshi PSingh KTripathi RPMahar RTripathi RBaranwal PfalseSynthesis and antiplasmodial activity of purine-based C-nucleoside analogues.A series of homologous C-nucleoside mimics have been synthesized via an efficient and facile synthetic protocol involving the conjugate addition of purine to sugar derived olefinic ester in good yields.
