Abstract

2-, 5-, 6-, and 9-hexadecynoic acids (HDAs) were synthesized and evaluated in vitro against various parasitic protozoa. 2-HDA inhibited both liver and blood stage Plasmodium infections and multiple plasmodial FAS-II target enzymes. 2-HDA was further studied through enzyme kinetics, docking studies and for pharmacokinetic properties.
