Ciprofloxacin antimalarial

A lead compound bearing a ferrocenyl moiety at position N(l) was identified. This derivative is more active than Ciprofloxacin and Doxycycline. The activity is remarkably constant regardless of the level of resistance to CQ of the strains. Contrary to other antibiotics, no delayed-death effect was noted. Isobologram analysis showed that this compound exerts an antagonist effect with the main quinoline-containing antimalarials. In vitro results have to be confirmed in vivo to check the bioavailability of the molecule and its potential interest as a new antimalarial [113],...

Commercial evidence also supports the case for natural products. Of the 20 best-selling non-protein drags in 1999, nine were either derived from or developed as the result of leads generated by natural products (e.g., simvastatin, lovastatin, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin and cyclosprin) with combined annual sales of greater than US 16 billion. Newer developments based on natural products include the antimalarial drag artemisinin, and the anticancer agents taxol, docetaxel and camptothecin. In addition to the historical success in dixig discoveiy, natural products are likely to continue to be sources of new commercially viable...
