Abstract

A series of 1-aryl-6, 7-disubstituted-2H-isoquinolin-3-ones (2–10) was synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition against Plasmodium falciparum cysteine protease falcipain-2, as well as against cultured P. falciparum strain FCBR parasites. All compounds displayed inhibitory activity against recombinant falcipain-2 and against in vitro cultured intraerythrocytic P. falciparum, with the exception of 9. The new compounds exhibited no ...
