- Description: publisher version , The success of chemotherapeutics in easing the burden of malaria is under continuous threat from ever-evolving parasite resistance, including resistance to artemisinin combination therapies. Therefore, the discovery of new classes of antimalarials which inhibit new biological targets is imperative to controlling malaria. Accordingly, we report here the discovery of indolyl-3-ethanone-α-thioethers, a new class of antimalarial compounds with encouraging activity. Synthesis of a focused library of compounds revealed important insight into the SAR of this class of compounds, including critical information regarding the position and chemical nature of substituents on both the thiophenol and indole rings. This investigation ultimately led to the discovery of two hit compounds (16 and 27) which exhibited nano molar in vitro antimalarial activity coupled to no observable toxicity against a HeLa cell line.

- Description: The screening was conducted using multi-well plates which are suited for HeLa cells in the log phase of growth with final cell density > 10 cells/cm. Each experiment normally includes a blank control, containing medium without the cells.28,45 Non-contaminated HeLa cells (6.57 x 105 cells per well) in media were allowed to grow in the incubator under an atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37 0C for 24 h. To each well was dispensed 200 µL of HeLa culture, containing 6.57 x 105 cells under LabEAir laminar flow hood (Vivid Air, South Africa); 20 µL of resazurin dye (Sigma TOX-8) and test compound (50 µL) were added, which were then incubated in the presence of 5% CO2 at 37 0C for 24 hours in a shaker, to enhance the distribution of the dye. The absorbance of each well was measured with Bio-tek Power Wave X fluorometer (Beijing, China), and increases in fluorescence was monitored at a wavelength of 590 nm, using an excitation wavelength of 560 nm.

- Description: publisher version , Encouraging selectivity and low micromolar activity against HeLa cervical carcinoma (IC50 ⩾ 3.0 μM) and the aggressive MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast carcinoma (IC50 ⩾ 9.6 μM) cell lines has been exhibited by a number of readily accessible 4-(N-benzylamino)cinnamate esters. The potential of the ligands as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors has also been examined.
