Malaria-infected mice are cured by oral administration of new artemisinin derivatives.

چکیده
In four or five chemical steps from the 1,2,4-trioxane artemisinin, a new series of 23 trioxane dimers has been prepared. Eleven of these new trioxane dimers cure malaria-infected mice via oral dosing at 3 x 30 mg/kg. The clinically used trioxane drug sodium artesunate prolonged mouse average survival to 7.2 days with this oral dose regimen. In comparison, animals receiving no drug die typically on day 6-7 postinfection. At only 3 x 10 mg/kg oral dosing, seven dimers prolong the lifetime of malaria-infected mice to days 14-17, more than double the chemotherapeutic effect of sodium artesunate. Ten new trioxane dimers at only a single oral dose of 30 mg/kg prolong mouse average survival to days 8.7-13.7, and this effect is comparable to that of the fully synthetic trioxolane drug development candidate OZ277, which is in phase II clinical trials.

Malaria-infected mice are cured by a single oral dose of new dimeric trioxane sulfones which are also selectively and powerfully cytotoxic to cancer cells.
A new series of 6 dimeric trioxane sulfones has been prepared from the natural trioxane artemisinin in five or six chemical steps. One of these thermally and hydrolytically stable new chemical entities (4c) completely cured malaria-infected mice via a single oral dose of 144 mg/kg. At a much lower single oral dose of only 54 mg/kg combined with 13 mg/kg of mefloquine hydrochloride, this trioxan...

Four 5-carbon-linked trioxane dimer orthoesters (6a-6d) have been prepared in 4 or 5 chemical steps from the natural trioxane artemisinin (1). When administered orally to malaria-infected mice using a single dose of only 6 mg/kg body weight along with 18 mg/kg of mefloquine hydrochloride, trioxane dimer orthoester sulfone 6d completely and safely cured the mice; after 30 days, the cured mice sh...

Three thermally and hydrolytically stable silylamide trioxanes have been prepared from the natural trioxane artemisinin in only five simple chemical steps and in at least 56% overall yield. Two of these new chemical entities completely cured malariainfected mice at a single oral dose of only 8 mg/kg combined with 24 mg/kg of mefloquine hydrochloride. The high efficacy of this ACT chemotherapy i...
