The present disclosure is directed, in part, to compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and compositions thereof for treating a mammal having malaria, or killing or inhibiting the growth of a Plasmodium species.
World-wide, 41% of the population live in areas where malaria is transmitted, such as parts of Africa, Asia, Middle East, Central and South America, Hispaniola, and Oceania. Each year between 350 and 500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, and over one million people die, most of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa. In areas of Africa with high malaria transmission, an estimated 990,000 people died of malaria in 1995. In 2002, malaria was the fourth cause of death in children in developing countries. In addition, malaria caused 10.7% of all children's deaths in developing countries.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a component of the innate immune system that provides resistance to a variety of pathogenic bacteria. AMPs have provided new leads for developing antibiotics, because they play a central role in the innate immune system. Some AMPs display very broad spectrum action against bacteria, yeast, fungus, and even viruses. Anti-parasitic activities have also been reported for a number of host defense peptides. The best studied organisms include Plasmodium, Leishmania, and Trypanosoma (Vizioli et al., Trends in Pharmacol., 2002, 18, 475-476; Jacobs et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 2003, 47, 607-613; and Brand et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2002, 277, 49332-49340), the parasitic agents of malaria, leishmaniasis and Chagas' disease, respectively. Additional protozoan parasites reported to be killed by the host defense peptides are Cryptosporidium (Giacometti et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 2000, 44, 3473-3475) and Giardia (Aley et al., Infect. Immun., 1994, 62, 5397-5403), human pathogens transmitted in contaminated drinking water. The peptides appear to kill protozoa by interacting with the cytoplasmic membrane causing excessive permeability, lysis and death; a mechanism which is similar to their mechanism of action against bacteria. Specificity for the parasite versus the host cell can be attributed to differences in phospholipid content and the lack of cholesterol in the protozoan membrane. Because the site of action is at the membrane and not to any specific receptor or intracellular target, the development of resistance to the cytotoxic properties of the antimicrobial peptides is highly unlikely.
With regard to anti-malarial activities, natural host defense proteins and their analogs have been shown to inhibit oocyst development of several Plasmodium species in various mosquito hosts (Gwadz et al., Infect. Immun., 1989, 57, 2628-2633; and Possani et al., Toxicon, 1998, 36, 1683-1692) and are directly cytotoxic against early sporogonic stages of Plasmodium in cell culture (Arrighi et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 2002, 46, 2104-2110). Furthermore, several antimicrobial peptides have been identified which selectively kill intraerthrocytic parasites (plasmodia life forms growing in red blood cells) by either attacking the infected erythrocyte while sparring normal erthrocytes (Feder et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2000, 275, 4230-4238; and Krugliak et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 2000, 44, 2442-2451) or interacting with and killing the intracellular parasite without harming the infected red blood cell (Dagan et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 2002, 46, 1059-1066; and Efron et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2002, 277, 24067-24072). Recognizing the significant therapeutic limitations of peptides, the development of nonpeptidic mimics of these anti-plasmodia peptides would represent a novel and powerful therapy to combat malaria.

As used herein, the phrase “substantially isolated” means a compound that is at least partially or substantially separated from the environment in which it is formed or detected.
As used herein, the phrase “suitable substituent” or “substituent” means a group that does not nullify the synthetic or pharmaceutical utility of the compounds described herein or the intermediates useful for preparing them. Examples of suitable substituents include, but are not limited to: C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkenyl, C1-C6alkynyl, C5-C6aryl, C1-C6alkoxy, C3-C5heteroaryl, C3-C6cycloalkyl, C5-C6aryloxy, —CN, —OH, oxo, halo, haloalkyl, —NO2, —CO2H, —NH2, —NH(C1-C8alkyl), —N(C1-C8alkyl)2, —NH(C6aryl), —N(C5-C6aryl)2, —CHO, —CO(C1-C6alkyl), —CO((C5-C6)aryl), —CO2((C1-C6)alkyl), and —CO2((C5-C6)aryl). One of skill in art can readily choose a suitable substituent based on the stability and pharmacological and synthetic activity of the compounds described herein.
As used herein, the phrase “therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response that is being sought in a tissue, system, animal, individual or human by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. The therapeutic effect is dependent upon the disorder being treated or the biological effect desired. As such, the therapeutic effect can be a decrease in the severity of symptoms associated with the disorder and/or inhibition (partial or complete) of progression of the disorder, or improved treatment, healing, prevention or elimination of a disorder, or side-effects. The amount needed to elicit the therapeutic response can be determined based on the age, health, size and sex of the subject. Optimal amounts can also be determined based on monitoring of the subject's response to treatment.
As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treated,” or “treating” mean both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological condition, disorder or disease, or obtain beneficial or desired clinical results. For purposes of this disclosure, beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms; diminishment of extent of condition, disorder or disease; stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of condition, disorder or disease; delay in onset or slowing of condition, disorder or disease progression; amelioration of the condition, disorder or disease state or remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable; an amelioration of at least one measurable physical parameter, not necessarily discernible by the patient; or enhancement or improvement of condition, disorder or disease. Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response without excessive levels of side effects. Treatment also includes prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. Thus, “treatment of malaria” or “treating malaria” means an activity that prevents, alleviates or ameliorates any of the primary phenomena or secondary symptoms associated with the disease.
At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds may be disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that the disclosure include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term “C1-6alkyl” is specifically intended to individually disclose methyl, ethyl, propyl, C4alkyl, C5alkyl, and C6alkyl.
For compounds in which a variable appears more than once, each variable can be a different moiety selected from the Markush group defining the variable. For example, where a structure is described having two R groups that are simultaneously present on the same compound, the two R groups can represent different moieties selected from the Markush groups defined for R. In another example, when an optionally multiple substituent is designated in the form, for example,
then it is understood that substituent R can occur s number of times on the ring, and R can be a different moiety at each occurrence. Further, in the above example, where the variable T1 is defined to include hydrogens, such as when T1 is CH2, NH, etc., any H can be replaced with a substituent.
It is further appreciated that certain features of the disclosure, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, can also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the disclosure which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, can also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.
It is understood that the present disclosure encompasses the use, where applicable, of stereoisomers, diastereomers and optical stereoisomers of the compounds of the disclosure, as well as mixtures thereof. Additionally, it is understood that stereoisomers, diastereomers, and optical stereoisomers of the compounds of the disclosure, and mixtures thereof, are within the scope of the disclosure. By way of non-limiting example, the mixture may be a racemate or the mixture may comprise unequal proportions of one particular stereoisomer over the other.
Additionally, the compounds can be provided as a substantially pure stereoisomers, diastereomers and optical stereoisomers (such as epimers).
The compounds described herein can be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended to be included within the scope of the disclosure unless otherwise indicated. Compounds that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms.
Methods of preparation of optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present disclosure. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds are also included within the scope of the disclosure and can be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms. Where a compound capable of stereoisomerism or geometric isomerism is designated in its structure or name without reference to specific R/S or cis/trans configurations, it is intended that all such isomers are contemplated.
Resolution of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried out by any of numerous methods known in the art, including, for example, fractional recrystallizaion using a chiral resolving acid which is an optically active, salt-forming organic acid. Suitable resolving agents for fractional recrystallization methods include, but are not limited to, optically active acids, such as the D and L forms of tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, and the various optically active camphorsulfonic acids such as β-camphorsulfonic acid. Other resolving agents suitable for fractional crystallization methods include, but are not limited to, stereoisomerically pure forms of α-methylbenzylamine (e.g., S and R forms, or diastereomerically pure forms), 2-phenylglycinol, norephedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine, cyclohexylethylamine, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and the like. Resolution of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by elution on a column packed with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). Suitable elution solvent compositions can be determined by one skilled in the art.
Compounds may also include tautomeric forms. Tautomeric forms result from the swapping of a single bond with an adjacent double bond together with the concomitant migration of a proton. Tautomeric forms include prototropic tautomers which are isomeric protonation states having the same empirical formula and total charge. Examples of prototropic tautomers include, but are not limited to, ketone-enol pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, lactam-lactim pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, enamine-imine pairs, and annular forms where a proton can occupy two or more positions of a heterocyclic system including, but not limited to, 1H- and 3H-imidazole, 1H-, 2H- and 4H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H- and 2H-isoindole, and 1H- and 2H-pyrazole. Tautomeric forms can be in equilibrium or sterically locked into one form by appropriate substitution.
Compounds also include hydrates and solvates, as well as anhydrous and non-solvated forms.
Compounds can also include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the intermediates or final compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium.
In some embodiments, the compounds, or salts thereof, are substantially isolated. Partial separation can include, for example, a composition enriched in the compound of the disclosure.
Substantial separation can include compositions containing at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 97%, or at least about 99% by weight of the compound of the disclosure, or salt thereof. Methods for isolating compounds and their salts are routine in the art.
Although the disclosed compounds are suitable, other functional groups can be incorporated into the compound with an expectation of similar results. In particular, thioamides and thioesters are anticipated to have very similar properties. The distance between aromatic rings can impact the geometrical pattern of the compound and this distance can be altered by incorporating aliphatic chains of varying length, which can be optionally substituted or can comprise an amino acid, a dicarboxylic acid or a diamine. The distance between and the relative orientation of monomers within the compounds can also be altered by replacing the amide bond with a surrogate having additional atoms. Thus, replacing a carbonyl group with a dicarbonyl alters the distance between the monomers and the propensity of dicarbonyl unit to adopt an anti arrangement of the two carbonyl moiety and alter the periodicity of the compound. Pyromellitic anhydride represents still another alternative to simple amide linkages which can alter the conformation and physical properties of the compound. Modern methods of solid phase organic chemistry (E. Atherton and R. C. Sheppard, Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis A Practical Approach IRL Press Oxford 1989) now allow the synthesis of homodisperse compounds with molecular weights approaching 5,000 Daltons. Other substitution patterns are equally effective.
The compounds also include derivatives referred to as prodrugs, which can be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compounds. Examples of prodrugs include compounds of the disclosure as described herein that contain one or more molecular moieties appended to a hydroxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, or carboxyl group of the compound, and that when administered to a patient, cleaves in vivo to form the free hydroxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, or carboxyl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups in the compounds of the disclosure. Preparation and use of prodrugs is discussed in T. Higuchi et al., “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Designs, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
Compounds containing an amine function can also form N-oxides. A reference herein to a compound that contains an amine function also includes the N-oxide. Where a compound contains several amine functions, one or more than one nitrogen atom can be oxidized to form an N-oxide. Examples of N-oxides include N-oxides of a tertiary amine or a nitrogen atom of a nitrogen-containing heterocycle. N-Oxides can be formed by treatment of the corresponding amine with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or a per-acid (e.g., a peroxycarboxylic acid) (see, Advanced Organic Chemistry, by Jerry March, 4th Edition, Wiley Interscience).
The structures depicted herein may omit necessary hydrogen atoms to complete the appropriate valency. Thus, in some instances a carbon atom or nitrogen atom may appear to have an open valency (i.e., a carbon atom with only two bonds showing would implicitly also be bonded to two hydrogen atoms; in addition, a nitrogen atom with a single bond depicted would implicitly also be bonded to two hydrogen atoms). For example, “—N” would be considered by one skilled in the art to be “—NH2.” Thus, in any structure depicted herein wherein a valency is open, a hydrogen atom is implicit, and is only omitted for brevity.

Polyamides and polyesters that are useful for the present disclosure can be prepared by typical condensation polymerization and addition polymerization processes (see, for example, G. Odian, Principles of Polymerization, John Wiley & Sons, Third Edition (1991), and M. Steven, Polymer Chemistry, Oxford University Press (1999)). Most commonly, the polyamides are prepared by a) thermal dehydration of amine salts of carboxylic acids, b) reaction of acid chlorides with amines, and c) aminolysis of esters. Methods a) and c) are of limited use in polymerizations of aniline derivatives which are generally prepared utilizing acid chlorides. The skilled chemist, however, will recognize that there are many alternative active acylating agents, for example phosphoryl anhydrides, active esters or azides, which may replace an acid chloride and which, depending of the particular polymer being prepared, may be superior to an acid chloride. The acid chloride route is probably the most versatile and has been used extensively for the synthesis of aromatic polyamides.
Homopolymers derived from substituted aminobenzoic acid derivatives can also prepared in a stepwise fashion. A stepwise process comprises coupling an N-protected amino acid to an amine (or hydroxy group) and subsequently removing the amine-protecting group and repeating the process. These techniques have been highly refined for synthesis of specific peptides, allow for the synthesis of specific sequences, and both solid-phase and solution techniques for peptide synthesis are directly applicable to the present disclosure. An alternative embodiment of the present disclosure is the corresponding polysulfonamides that can be prepared in analogous fashion by substituting sulfonyl chlorides for carboxylic acid chlorides.
The most common method for the preparation of polyureas is the reaction of diamines with diisocyanates (see, Yamaguchi et al., Polym. Bull., 2000, 44, 247). This exothermic reaction can be carried out by solution techniques or by interfacial techniques. One skilled in organic and polymer chemistry will appreciate that the diisocyanate can be replaced with a variety of other bis-acylating agents, such as phosgene or N,N′-(diimidazolyl)carbonyl, with similar results. Polyurethanes are prepared by comparable techniques using a diisocyanate and a dialcohol or by reaction of a diamine with a bis-chloroformate.
The syntheses of compounds described herein can be carried out by routine and/or known methods such as those disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2005-0287108, 2006-0041023, U.S. Pat. No. 7,173,102, International Publication Nos. WO 2005/123660, WO 2004/082643, and WO 2006/093813, and U.S. Application Publication No. 2010-0081665, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Numerous pathways are available to incorporate polar and nonpolar side chains. Phenolic groups on the monomer can be alkylated. Alkylation of the commercially available phenol will be accomplished with standard Williamson ether synthesis for the non-polar side chain with ethyl bromide as the alkylating agent. Polar sidechains can be introduced with bifunctional alkylating agents such as BOC—NH(CH2)2Br. Alternately, the phenol group can be alkylated to install the desired polar side chain function by employing the Mitsonobu reaction with BOC—NH(CH2)2—OH, triphenyl phosphine, and diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Standard conditions for reduction of the nitro groups and hydrolysis of the ester afford the amino acid. With the aniline and benzoic acid in hand, coupling can be effected under a variety of conditions. Alternatively, the hydroxy group of the (di)nitrophenol can be converted to a leaving group and a functionality introduced under nucleophilic aromatic substitution conditions. Other potential scaffolds that can be prepared with similar sequences are methyl 2-nitro-4-hydroxybenzoate and methyl 2-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoate.
Compounds described herein can also be synthesized by solid-phase synthetic procedures well know to those of skill in the art (see, Tew et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 2002, 99, 5110-5114; Barany et al., Int. J. Pept. Prot. Res., 1987, 30, 705-739; Solid-phase Synthesis: A Practical Guide, Kates, S. A., and Albericio, F., eds., Marcel Dekker, New York (2000); and Döwald, F. Z., Organic Synthesis on Solid Phase: Supports, Linkers, Reactions, 2nd Ed., Wiley-VCH, Weinheim (2002)).
The compounds described herein can also be designed using computer-aided computational techniques, such as de novo design techniques, to embody the amphiphilic properties. In general, de novo design of compounds is performed by defining a three-dimensional framework of the backbone assembled from a repeating sequence of monomers using molecular dynamics and quantum force field calculations. Next, side groups are computationally grafted onto the backbone to maximize diversity and maintain drug-like properties. The best combinations of functional groups are then computationally selected to produce a cationic, amphiphilic structures. Representative compounds can be synthesized from this selected library to verify structures and test their biological activity. Novel molecular dynamic and coarse grain modeling programs have also been developed for this approach because existing force fields developed for biological molecules, such as peptides, were unreliable in these oligomer applications (see, Car et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 1985, 55, 2471-2474; Siepmann et al., Mol. Phys., 1992, 75, 59-70; Martin et al., J. Phys. Chem., 1999, 103, 4508-4517; and Brooks et al., J. Comp. Chem., 1983, 4, 187-217). Several chemical structural series of compounds have been prepared. See, for example, International Publication No. WO 2002/100295, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The compounds described herein can be prepared in a similar manner. Molecular dynamic and coarse grain modeling programs can be used for a design approach. See, for example, U.S. Application Publication No. 2004-0107056, and U.S. Application Publication No. 2004-0102941, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
After verifying the suitability of the force field by comparing computed predictions of the structure and thermodynamic properties to molecules that have similar torsional patterns and for which experimental data are available, the fitted torsions can then be combined with bond stretching, bending, one-four, van der Waals, and electrostatic potentials borrowed from the CHARMM (see, Brooks et al., J. Comp. Chem., 1983, 4, 187-217) and TraPPE (Martin et al., J. Phys. Chem., 1999, 103, 4508-4517; and Wick et al., J. Phys. Chem., 2000, 104, 3093-3104) molecular dynamics force fields. To identify conformations that can adopt periodic folding patterns with polar groups and apolar groups lined up on the opposite sides, initial structures can be obtained with the Gaussian package (see, Frisch et al., Gaussian 98 (revision A.7) Gaussian Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa. 1998). Then, the parallelized plane-wave Car-Parrinello CP-MD (see, Car et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 1985, 55, 2471-2474) program, (see, Röthlisberger et al., J. Chem. Phys., 1996, 3692-3700) can be used to obtain energies at the minimum and constrained geometries. The conformations of the compounds without side-chains can be investigated in the gas phase. Both MD and MC methods can be used to sample the conformations. The former is useful for global motions of the compound. With biasing techniques (see, Siepmann et al., Mol. Phys., 1992, 75, 59-70; Martin et al., J. Phys. Chem., 1999, 103, 4508-4517; and Vlugt et al., Mol. Phys., 1998, 94, 727-733), the latter allows efficient sampling for compounds with multiple local minimum configurations that are separated by relatively large barriers.
The potential conformations are examined for positions to attach pendant groups that will impart amphiphilic character to the secondary structure. Compounds selected from the gas phase studies with suitable backbone conformations and with side-chains at the optimal positions to introduce amphiphilicity can be further evaluated in a model interfacial system. n-hexane/water can be chosen because it is simple and cheap for calculations while it mimics well the lipid/water bilayer environment. Compound secondary structures that require inter-compound interactions can be identified by repeating the above-mentioned calculations using a periodically repeated series of unit cells of various symmetries (so called variable cell molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo technique) with or without solvent. The results of these calculations can guide the selection of candidates for synthesis.
The compounds described herein can be administered in any conventional manner by any route where they are active. Administration can be systemic, topical, or oral. For example, administration can be, but is not limited to, parenteral, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, transdermal, oral, buccal, sublingual, or ocular routes, or intravaginally, by inhalation, by depot injections, or by implants. The mode of administration can depend on the pathogen or microbe to be targeted. The selection of the specific route of administration can be selected or adjusted by the clinician according to methods known to the clinician to obtain the desired clinical response.
In some embodiments, it may be desirable to administer one or more compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, locally to an area in need of treatment. This may be achieved, for example, and not by way of limitation, by local infusion during surgery, topical application, e.g., in conjunction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository, or by means of an implant, wherein the implant is of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers.
The compounds described herein can be administered either alone or in combination (concurrently or serially) with other pharmaceuticals. For example, the anti-malarial compounds can also be administered in combination with other anti-malarial compounds such as, for example, any one or more of artemisinin, quinine, artesunate, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, amodiaquine, pyrimethamine, sulphadoxine, proguanil, mefloquine, atovaquone, primaquine, halofantrine, doxycycline, clindamycin.

The means and methods for administration are known in the art and an artisan can refer to various pharmacologic references for guidance (see, for example, Modern Pharmaceutics, Banker & Rhodes, Marcel Dekker, Inc. (1979); and Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmaceutical Basis of Therapeutics, 6th Edition, MacMillan Publishing Co., New York (1980)).
The amount of compound to be administered is that amount which is therapeutically effective. The dosage to be administered will depend on the characteristics of the subject being treated, e.g., the particular animal treated, age, weight, health, types of concurrent treatment, if any, and frequency of treatments, and can be easily determined by one of skill in the art (e.g., by the clinician). The standard dosing for protamine can be used and adjusted (i.e., increased or decreased) depending upon the factors described above. The selection of the specific dose regimen can be selected or adjusted or titrated by the clinician according to methods known to the clinician to obtain the desired clinical response.
The amount of a compound described herein that will be effective in the treatment and/or prevention of a particular disease, condition, or disorder will depend on the nature and extent of the disease, condition, or disorder, and can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro or in vivo assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed in the compositions will also depend on the route of administration, and the seriousness of the disorder, and should be decided according to the judgment of the practitioner and each patient's circumstances. However, a suitable dosage range for oral administration is, generally, from about 0.001 milligram to about 200 milligrams per kilogram body weight, from about 0.01 milligram to about 100 milligrams per kilogram body weight, from about 0.01 milligram to about 70 milligrams per kilogram body weight, from about 0.1 milligram to about 50 milligrams per kilogram body weight, from 0.5 milligram to about 20 milligrams per kilogram body weight, or from about 1 milligram to about 10 milligrams per kilogram body weight. In some embodiments, the oral dose is about 5 milligrams per kilogram body weight.
In some embodiments, suitable dosage ranges for intravenous (i.v.) administration are from about 0.01 mg to about 500 mg per kg body weight, from about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg per kg body weight, from about 1 mg to about 50 mg per kg body weight, or from about 10 mg to about 35 mg per kg body weight. Suitable dosage ranges for other modes of administration can be calculated based on the forgoing dosages as known by those skilled in the art. For example, recommended dosages for intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, epidural, sublingual, intracerebral, intravaginal, transdermal administration or administration by inhalation are in the range of from about 0.001 mg to about 200 mg per kg of body weight, from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg per kg of body weight, from about 0.1 mg to about 50 mg per kg of body weight, or from about 1 mg to about 20 mg per kg of body weight. Effective doses may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems. Such animal models and systems are well known in the art.
The compounds described herein can be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, such as by bolus injection or continuous infusion. The compounds can be administered by continuous infusion subcutaneously over a period of about 15 minutes to about 24 hours. Formulations for injection can be presented in unit dosage form, such as in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions can take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and can contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. In some embodiments, the injectable is in the form of short-acting, depot, or implant and pellet forms injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly. In some embodiments, the parenteral dosage form is the form of a solution, suspension, emulsion, or dry powder.
For oral administration, the compounds described herein can be formulated by combining the compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers enable the compounds to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, emulsions, liquids, gels, syrups, caches, pellets, powders, granules, slurries, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient to be treated. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by, for example, adding a solid excipient, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients include, but are not limited to, fillers such as sugars, including, but not limited to, lactose, sucrose, mannitol, and sorbitol; cellulose preparations such as, but not limited to, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents can be added, such as, but not limited to, the cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate.
Orally administered compositions can contain one or more optional agents, for example, sweetening agents such as fructose, aspartame or saccharin; flavoring agents such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry; coloring agents; and preserving agents, to provide a pharmaceutically palatable preparation. Moreover, where in tablet or pill form, the compositions may be coated to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract thereby providing a sustained action over an extended period of time. Selectively permeable membranes surrounding an osmotically active driving compound are also suitable for orally administered compounds. Oral compositions can include standard vehicles such as mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, etc. Such vehicles are suitably of pharmaceutical grade.
Dragee cores can be provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions can be used, which can optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments can be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.
Pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include, but are not limited to, push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds can be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers can be added.
For buccal administration, the compositions can take the form of, such as, tablets or lozenges formulated in a conventional manner.

In the case of a pressurized aerosol the dosage unit can be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, such as gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator can be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.
The compounds described herein can also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, such as containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides. The compounds described herein can also be formulated in vaginal compositions such as vaginal creams, suppositories, pessaries, vaginal rings, and intrauterine devices.
In transdermal administration, the compounds can be applied to a plaster, or can be applied by transdermal, therapeutic systems that are consequently supplied to the organism. In some embodiments, the compounds are present in creams, solutions, powders, fluid emulsions, fluid suspensions, semi-solids, ointments, pastes, gels, jellies, and foams, or in patches containing any of the same.
The compounds described herein can also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations can be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Depot injections can be administered at about 1 to about 6 months or longer intervals. Thus, for example, the compounds can be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.
In yet another embodiment, the compounds can be delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump may be used (see Langer, supra; Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng., 1987, 14, 201; Buchwald et al., Surgery, 1980, 88, 507 Saudek et al., N. Engl. J. Med., 1989, 321, 574). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used (see Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Pres., Boca Raton, Fla.

Generally, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampoule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where the compound is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed, for example, with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where the compound is administered by injection, an ampoule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients may be mixed prior to administration.
The pharmaceutical compositions can be in unit dosage form. In such form, the composition can be divided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of the preparations, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these packaged forms.
In some embodiments, a composition of the present disclosure is in the form of a liquid wherein the active agent (i.e., one of the facially amphiphilic polymers or oligomers disclosed herein) is present in solution, in suspension, as an emulsion, or as a solution/suspension. In some embodiments, the liquid composition is in the form of a gel. In other embodiments, the liquid composition is aqueous. In other embodiments, the composition is in the form of an ointment.
In yet other embodiments, the composition is in the form of a solid article. For example, in some embodiments, the ophthalmic composition is a solid article that can be inserted in a suitable location in the eye, such as between the eye and eyelid or in the conjunctival sac, where it releases the active agent as described, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,863,633; U.S. Pat. No. 3,867,519; U.S. Pat. No. 3,868,445; U.S. Pat. No. 3,960,150; U.S. Pat. No. 3,963,025; U.S. Pat. No. 4,186,184; U.S. Pat. No. 4,303,637; U.S. Pat. No. 5,443,505; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,869,079. Release from such an article is usually to the cornea, either via the lacrimal fluid that bathes the surface of the cornea, or directly to the cornea itself, with which the solid article is generally in intimate contact. Solid articles suitable for implantation in the eye in such fashion are generally composed primarily of polymers and can be bioerodible or non-bioerodible. Bioerodible polymers that can be used in the preparation of ocular implants carrying one or more of the anti-microbial, facially amphiphilic polymer or oligomer active agents in accordance with the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, aliphatic polyesters such as polymers and copolymers of poly(glycolide), poly(lactide), poly(epsilon-caprolactone), poly-(hydroxybutyrate) and poly(hydroxyvalerate), polyamino acids, polyorthoesters, polyanhydrides, aliphatic polycarbonates and polyether lactones. Suitable non-bioerodible polymers include silicone elastomers.
The ophthalmic and otic compositions are preferably sterile and have physical properties (e.g., osmolality and pH) that are specially suited for application to ophthalmic or otic tissues, including tissues that have been compromised as the result of preexisting disease, trauma, surgery or other physical conditions. For example, aqueous compositions of the disclosure typically have a pH in the range of from 4.5 to 8.0, from 6.0 to 8.0, from 6.5 to 8.0, or from 7.0 to 8.0.
Suitable ophthalmically acceptable compositions, formulations, and excipients are those that cause no substantial detrimental effect, even of a transient nature.
Suitable otically acceptable compositions, formulations, and excipients are those that cause no substantial detrimental effect, even of a transient nature.
Ophthalmically and otically acceptable excipients include, but are not limited to, viscosity-enhancing agents, preservatives, stabilizers, antioxidants, suspending agents, solubilizing agents, buffering agents, lubricating agents, ophthalmically or otically acceptable salts, and combinations thereof.
For example, aqueous ophthalmic compositions of the present disclosure, when in suspension or solution form, are suitably viscous or mucoadhesive, or both viscous or mucoadhesive, and thus comprise a viscosity-enhancing agent. Examples of suitable viscosity-enhancing agents include, but are not limited to, glycerin, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethyl-cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and/or various gelling agents. For example, in some embodiments, the viscosity-enhancing agent is chosen from methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and glycerol. Such agents are generally employed in the compositions of the disclosure at a concentration of about 0.01% to about 3% by weight.
Thus, for ophthalmic compositions, in some embodiments, the ophthalmically acceptable excipient is a viscosity-enhancing agent or a promoter of mucoadhesion, such as carboxymethylcellulose. In such embodiments, the concentration of carboxymethylcellulose in the aqueous suspension or solution is 0.1% to 5% by weight or about 0.1% to about 2.5% by weight. The carboxymethylcellulose is preferably in the form of sodium carboxymethylcellulose substituted to a degree that the sodium content of the sodium carboxymethylcellulose is about 1% to about 20%.
In other embodiments, the ophthalmic composition is an in situ gellable aqueous composition such as an in situ gellable aqueous solution. Such a composition comprises a gelling agent in a concentration effective to promote gelling upon contact with the eye or with lacrimal fluid in the exterior of the eye, enabling the composition to remain in the eye for a prolonged period without loss by lacrimal drainage. Suitable gelling agents non-restrictively include thermosetting polymers such as tetra-substituted ethylene diamine block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (e.g., poloxamine 1307); polycarbophil; and polysaccharides such as gellan, carrageenan (e.g., kappa-carrageenan and iota-carrageenan), chitosan and alginate gums.
For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the ophthalmic composition is an in situ gellable aqueous solution, suspension or solution/suspension, comprising from about 0.1% to about 6.5% or from about 0.5% to about 4.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of one or more compounds. A suitable gelling agent in this embodiment is polycarbophil. In other embodiments, the composition is an in situ gellable aqueous solution, suspension or solution/suspension, such as a solution, comprising about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of a polysaccharide that gels when it contacts an aqueous medium having the ionic strength of lacrimal fluid. A suitable polysaccharide is gellan gum, or a low acetyl clarified grade of gellan gum such as that sold under the trademark Gelrite®. Suitable partially deacylated gellan gums are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,190,927.
In yet other embodiments, the composition is an in situ gellable aqueous solution, suspension or solution/suspension, comprising about from 0.2% to about 3% or from about 0.5% to about 1% by weight of a gelling polysaccharide, chosen from gellan gum, alginate gum and chitosan, and about 1% to about 50% of a water-soluble film-forming polymer, preferably selected from alkylcelluloses (e.g., methylcellulose, ethylcellulose), hydroxyalkylcelluloses (e.g., hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), hyaluronic acid and salts thereof, chondroitin sulfate and salts thereof, polymers of acrylamide, acrylic acid and polycyanoacrylates, polymers of methyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, polydextrose, cyclodextrins, polydextrin, maltodextrin, dextran, polydextrose, gelatin, collagen, natural gums (e.g., xanthan, locust bean, acacia, tragacanth and carrageenan gums and agar), polygalacturonic acid derivatives (e.g., pectin), polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethylene glycol. The composition can optionally contain a gel-promoting counterion such as calcium in latent form, for example encapsulated in gelatin.
In yet other embodiments, the composition is an in situ gellable aqueous solution, suspension or solution/suspension comprising about 0.1% to about 5% of a carrageenan gum, e.g., a carrageenan gum having no more than 2 sulfate groups per repeating disaccharide unit, such as e.g., kappa-carrageenan, having 18-25% ester sulfate by weight, iota-carrageenan, having 25-34% ester sulfate by weight, and mixtures thereof.
In still other embodiments, the composition comprises a bioerodible polymer substantially as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,914,402.
In some embodiments, the composition comprises an ophthalmically acceptable mucoadhesive polymer, chosen from, for example, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, carbomer (acrylic acid polymer), poly(methylmethacrylate), polyacrylamide, polycarbophil, polyethylene oxide, acrylic acid/butyl acrylate copolymer, sodium alginate, and dextran.
Ophthalmic compositions of the disclosure can incorporate a means to inhibit microbial growth, for example through preparation and packaging under sterile conditions and/or through inclusion of an antimicrobially effective amount of an ophthalmically acceptable preservative.
Suitable preservatives include, but are not limited to, mercury-containing substances such as phenylmercuric salts (e.g., phenylmercuric acetate, borate and nitrate) and thimerosal; stabilized chlorine dioxide; quaternary ammonium compounds such as benzalkonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetylpyridinium chloride; imidazolidinyl urea; parabens such as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben, and salts thereof; phenoxyethanol; chlorophenoxyethanol; phenoxypropanol; chlorobutanol; chlorocresol; phenylethyl alcohol; disodium EDTA; and sorbic acid and salts thereof.
Several preservatives may precipitate in the presence of other excipients in the composition and/or in the presence of the polymers and oligomers in the ophthalmic compositions. For example, benzalkonium chloride can precipitate in a composition using iota-carrageenan as a gelling agent. Thus, in those embodiments of the disclosure in which a preservative is present, the preservative is one that does not precipitate but remains in solution in the composition.
In some embodiments, the ophthalmic composition further comprises an additional ophthalmically acceptable excipient. The additional ophthalmically acceptable excipient is selected from a buffering agent, a solubilizing agent, a surfactant, a lubricating agent, and an ophthalmically acceptable salt, or any combination thereof.
Optionally one or more stabilizers can be included in the compositions to enhance chemical stability where required. Suitable stabilizers include, but are not limited to, chelating agents or complexing agents, such as, for example, the calcium complexing agent ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). For example, an appropriate amount of EDTA or a salt thereof, e.g., the disodium salt, can be included in the composition to complex excess calcium ions and prevent gel formation during storage. EDTA or a salt thereof can suitably be included in an amount of about 0.01% to about 0.5%. In those embodiments containing a preservative other than EDTA, the EDTA or a salt thereof, more particularly disodium EDTA, can be present in an amount of about 0.025% to about 0.1% by weight.
One or more antioxidants can also be included in the ophthalmic compositions. Suitable antioxidants include, but are not limited to, ascorbic acid, sodium metabisulfite, sodium bisulfite, acetylcysteine, polyquatemium-1, benzalkonium chloride, thimerosal, chlorobutanol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, phenylethyl alcohol, edetate disodium, sorbic acid, or other agents know to those of skill in the art. Such preservatives are typically employed at a level of from about 0.001% to about 1.0% by weight.
In some embodiments, the compounds are solubilized at least in part by an ophthalmically acceptable solubilizing agent. Certain ophthalmically acceptable nonionic surfactants, for example polysorbate 80, can be useful as solubilizing agents, as can ophthalmically acceptable glycols, polyglycols, e.g., polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG-400), and glycol ethers.
Suitable solubilizing agents for solution and solution/suspension compositions are cyclodextrins. Suitable cyclodextrins can be chosen from α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin, alkylcyclodextrins (e.g., methyl-β-cyclodextrin, dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin, diethyl-β-cyclodextrin), hydroxyalkylcyclodextrins (e.g., hydroxyethyl-β-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin), carboxy-alkylcyclodextrins (e.g., carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin), sulfoalkylether cyclodextrins (e.g., sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin), and the like. Ophthalmic applications of cyclodextrins have been reviewed in Rajewski et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1996, 85, 1155-1159.
An ophthalmically acceptable cyclodextrin can optionally be present in an ophthalmic composition at a concentration from about 1 to about 200 mg/ml, from about 5 to about 100 mg/ml, or from about 10 to about 50 mg/ml.
In some embodiments, the ophthalmic composition optionally contains a suspending agent. For example, in those embodiments in which the ophthalmic composition is an aqueous suspension or solution/suspension, the composition can contain one or more polymers as suspending agents. Useful polymers include, but are not limited to, water-soluble polymers such as cellulosic polymers, for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and water-insoluble polymers such as cross-linked carboxyl-containing polymers. However, in some embodiments, ophthalmic compositions do not contain substantial amounts of solid particulate matter, whether of the anti-microbial polymer or oligomer active agent, an excipient, or both, as solid particulate matter, if present, can cause discomfort and/or irritation of a treated eye.
One or more ophthalmically acceptable pH adjusting agents and/or buffering agents can be included in the ophthalmic compositions, including acids such as acetic, boric, citric, lactic, phosphoric and hydrochloric acids; bases such as sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, sodium borate, sodium citrate, sodium acetate, sodium lactate and tris-hydroxymethylaminomethane; and buffers such as citrate/dextrose, sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride. Such acids, bases and buffers are included in an amount required to maintain pH of the composition in an ophthalmically acceptable range.
One or more ophthalmically acceptable salts can be included in the compositions of the disclosure in an amount required to bring osmolality of the composition into an ophthalmically acceptable range. Such salts include, but are not limited to, those having sodium, potassium or ammonium cations and chloride, citrate, ascorbate, borate, phosphate, bicarbonate, sulfate, thiosulfate or bisulfite anions. In some embodiments, salts include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium thiosulfate, sodium bisulfite and ammonium sulfate. In some embodiments, the salt is sodium chloride.
Optionally an ophthalmically acceptable xanthine derivative such as caffeine, theobromine or theophylline can be included in the compositions, e.g., as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,343. Inclusion of the xanthine derivative can reduce ocular discomfort associated with administration of the composition.
Optionally one or more ophthalmically acceptable surfactants, preferably nonionic surfactants, or co-solvents can be included in the compositions to enhance solubility of the components of the compositions or to impart physical stability, or for other purposes. Suitable nonionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, polyoxyethylene fatty acid glycerides and vegetable oils, e.g., polyoxyethylene (60) hydrogenated castor oil; and polyoxyethylene alkylethers and alkylphenyl ethers, e.g., octoxynol 10, octoxynol 40; polysorbate 20, 60 and 80; polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene surfactants (e.g., Pluronic® F-68, F84 and P-103); cyclodextrin; or other agents known to those of skill in the art. Typically, such co-solvents or surfactants are employed in the compositions at a level of from about 0.01% to about 2% by weight.
One or more ophthalmic lubricating agents can also be included optionally in the compositions to promote lacrimation or as a “dry eye” medication. Such agents include, but are not limited to, polyvinyl alcohol, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and the like. It will be understood that promotion of lacrimation is beneficial in the present disclosure only where lacrimation is naturally deficient, to restore a normal degree of secretion of lacrimal fluid. Where excessive lacrimation occurs, residence time of the composition in the eye can be reduced.
Ophthalmic compositions of the present disclosure typically include a combination of one or more of the optional excipients listed above. For example, in some embodiments, the ophthalmic composition can optionally further comprise glycerin in an amount from about 0.5% to about 5%, from about 1% to about 2.5%, or from about 1.5% to about 2% by weight. Glycerin can be useful to increase viscosity of the composition and for adjustment of osmolality. Independently of the presence of glycerin, the composition can also further comprise a cyclodextrin, such as hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, in an amount from about 0.5% to about 25% by weight, as a solubilizing agent, and an antimicrobially effective amount of a preservative, e.g., imidazolidinyl urea in an amount from about 0.03% to about 0.5%; methylparaben in an amount from about 0.015% to about 0.25%; propylparaben in an amount from about 0.005% to about 0.01%; phenoxyethanol in an amount from about 0.25% to about 1%; disodium EDTA in an amount from about 0.05% to about 0.2%; thimerosal in an amount from 0.001% to about 0.15%; chlorobutanol in an amount from about 0.1% to about 0.5%; and/or sorbic acid in an amount from about 0.05% to about 0.2%; all by weight.
The otic compositions also optionally comprise one or more otically acceptable excipients. Otically acceptable excipients include, but are not limited to, one or more of the preservatives, stabilizers, antioxidants, viscosity-enhancing agents, buffering agents, solubilizing agents, surfactants, lubricating agents, or acceptable salts described above, or combinations thereof, as described above for the ophthalmic compositions.
Thus, for example, in some embodiments, an otic composition optionally comprises one or more buffering agents, solubilizing agents, and antioxidants, typically in an aqueous solution. In some embodiments, the otic composition further comprises glycerin (e.g., anhydrous glycerin) or propylene glycol as a viscosity-enhancing agent. The otic composition may also comprise a surfactant in combination with the glycerin or propylene glycol to aid in the removal of cerum 30 (ear wax). Sodium bicarbonate may also be used if wax is to be removed from the ear.
Thus, e.g., in some embodiments, the otic composition is a sterile aqueous solution comprising one or more of the disclosed polymers or oligomers, glycerin, sodium bicarbonate, and, optionally, a preservative, in purified water.

In order that the disclosure disclosed herein may be more efficiently understood, examples are provided below. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the disclosure in any manner. Throughout these examples, molecular cloning reactions, and other standard recombinant DNA techniques, were carried out according to methods described in Maniatis et al., Molecular Cloning—A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Press (1989), using commercially available reagents, except where otherwise noted.
Numerous compounds were screened in cultures of the malaria parasite P. falciparum 3D7 (chloroquine-sensitive) and DD2 (chloroquine-resistant). The compounds were also screened for toxixcity against 3T3 cells, HepG2 cells, and in a hemolysis assay. In brief, P. falciparum parasites were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen) supplemented with Albumax II (Invitrogen). For synchronization, schizont stage parasites were magnet purified using a SuperMACS™ II Cell Separation Unit (Miltenyi Biotech). For IC50 determinations, synchronized ring-stage parasites were plated at 0.5% parasitemia and 8% hematocrit in 96-well plates at a total volume of 50 μL. Serial dilutions of 2× concentration of the respective compound, ranging from 2.5 μM to 20 nM, were added to the wells to bring the total volume up to 100 μL and 4% hematocrit. Compounds were assayed for a 72 hour period, after which the cultures were fixed with a solution of 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.08% glutaraldhyde in PBS. The cells were then permeabilized with 0.25% Triton X-100, and SYTOX Green Nucleic Acid Stain (Invitrogen) in PBS was added to a final concentration of 5 μM. DNA content, as an indicator of parasitemia, was analyzed on an Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer with C-Sampler. IC50 curves were generated using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software).
