Abstract

A series of 4-oxycoumarin derivatives was synthesized, characterized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo for antifilarial activity against the human lymphatic filarial parasite, Brugia malayi. A majority of the compounds studied showed potent in vitro activity with low IC50 values in the micro molar (μM) range (0.014-1.73 and 0.0056-0.43) against adult worms and microfilariae, respectively. Compounds 8 and 9 were identified to be the most promising antifilarial candidate molecules exhibiting activity in the nanomolar (nM) range. The IC50 values for compound 8 were 14 nM and 5.6 nM while for compound 9 were 94 nM and 13 nM, respectively, for adult worm and microfilaria. These two compounds also displayed promising adulticidal activity (74.9 ± 4.8% and 69.4 ± 2.8%, respectively) in the primary rodent (jird) screen. This study also serves as a starting point for investigating structure-activity relationship with different amino substituents.

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
