Resumo
Na presente pesquisa foram sintetizados vários derivados piridínicos objetivando a descoberta de constituintes com atividade antiparasitária potencial. Estes compostos foram planejados a partir do alcaloide (–)-espectalina isolado de Senna spectabilis (Fabaceae), empregando alguns processos usuais da química medicinal como a simplificação molecular, isosterismo clássico e funcional. Deste procedimento experimental, foram sintetizados 18 substâncias, sendo todas obtidas por meio de reações simples, a partir de compostos comerciais. Das substâncias sintéticas produzidas, 14 foram submetidas à avaliação para atividade em Trypanosoma cruzi, visando potenciais antichagásicos, e em Leishmania infantum para identificar potenciais leishmanicidas. Os compostos testados mostraram-se inativos na inibição destes protozoários. Contudo, dois análogos (48 e 52) apresentaram atividade inibitória das cepas de Plasmodium falciparum, com CI50 = 5,0 µM e índice de seletividade bastante interessante (IS >50).

From this experimental procedure, 18 compounds were synthesized, and all of these were obtained by means of simple reactions, from commercial compounds. Of the synthetic substances produced, 14 were evaluated for activity in Trypanosoma cruzi, aimed at the search for potential antichagasics, and against Leishmania infantum to identify potential leishmanicidal derivatives. All compounds tested were inactive to the inhibition of these protozoa. However, two analogues (48 and 52) showed inhibitory activity against Plasmodium falciparum strains, with IC50 = 5.0 μM and an interesting selectivity index (IS> 50).
