Popis: Selective and specific inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum lysyl-tRNA synthetase represent promising therapeutic antimalarial avenues. Cladosporin was identified as a potent P. falciparum lysyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor, with an activity against parasite lysyl-tRNA synthetase >100-fold more potent than that of the activity registered against the human enzyme. Despite its compelling activity, cladosporin exhibits poor oral bioavailability; a critical requirement for antimalarial drugs. Thus, the quest to develop metabolically stable cladosporin-derived analogues, while retaining similar selectivity and potency to that of the natural compound, has begun. Chemogenomic profiling of a designed library allowed an entirely innovative structure-activity relationship study to be initiated; this shed light on structural evidence of a privileged scaffold with a unique activity against tRNA synthetases.
