| Targets |
The precise molecular target of CWHM-1008 is not fully characterized in available literature. It is believed to act via a novel mechanism of action distinct from existing antimalarials, given its potent activity against drug-resistant strains. Based on its chemical scaffold (4-aryl-N-benzylpyrrolidine-3-carboxamide), it may inhibit a parasite-specific enzyme or pathway. Structural analogues suggest potential inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum lysyl-tRNA synthetase or other essential parasite enzymes.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In cell-free biochemical assays, CWHM-1008 likely inhibits an essential parasite enzyme; however, specific cell-free targets have not been definitively published. For a compound of this class (4-aryl pyrrolidine), enzyme inhibition assays would be conducted using recombinant P. falciparum proteins, such as lysyl-tRNA synthetase (PfLysRS). Assays typically measure activity using radiolabeled ATP or coupled luminescent formats to quantify product formation, with IC50 values calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| ln Vivo |
CWHM-1008 shows excellent in vitro potency against P. falciparum, with EC50s of 46 nM against the chloroquine-sensitive 3D7 strain and 21 nM against the multi-drug resistant Dd2 strain. The compound demonstrates approximately 9.3-fold greater potency than chloroquine against the Dd2 strain. Its activity against drug-resistant parasites suggests a mechanism unaffected by common resistance mutations affecting chloroquine, mefloquine, or artemisinin. In human lung adenocarcinoma cells, CWHM-1008 also exhibits anticancer effects via inhibition of Akt/mTOR signaling.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Standard antimalarial susceptibility assays follow the WHO protocol. P. falciparum cultures (3D7 or Dd2 strains) are synchronized at ring stage and seeded in 96-well plates at 0.5-1% parasitemia and 1-2% hematocrit. CWHM-1008 is tested at multiple concentrations (typically 0.1-1000 nM) in triplicate. After 48-72 hours of incubation, parasite growth is assessed using SYBR Green I staining or [3H]hypoxanthine incorporation. Fluorescence or radioactivity is measured, and EC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves using nonlinear regression analysis.
|
| Cell Assay |
Standard antimalarial in vitro testing uses P. falciparum-infected human erythrocytes. Parasitized red blood cells (0.5-1% parasitemia, 1-2% hematocrit) are cultured in complete RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with Albumax or human serum. Test compound is added at various concentrations (0.1-1000 nM) in 96-well plates. After 48-72 hours of culture at 37degC under low oxygen conditions (e.g., 3% O2, 5% CO2), parasite replication is quantified using SYBR Green I DNA staining. Fluorescence (ex/em 485/530 nm) is measured, and EC50 values are calculated. Giemsa-stained smears may be used for visual confirmation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo antimalarial efficacy is evaluated in a P. berghei mouse model (Peter's 4-day suppressive test). Female Swiss or BALB/c mice are inoculated intraperitoneally with 1×10⁶ P. berghei ANKA-infected erythrocytes. CWHM-1008 is administered orally once daily for 4 consecutive days starting 2 hours post-infection, typically at doses ranging from 1-100 mg/kg. On day 4, blood smears are collected, stained with Giemsa, and parasitemia is determined microscopically. Percent suppression is calculated relative to vehicle-treated controls. Survival is monitored until day 28 post-infection.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
CWHM-1008 is orally bioavailable, supporting once-daily oral administration in animal models. Its oral activity has been confirmed in P. berghei mouse efficacy studies, where it significantly reduces parasitemia. Standard pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, half-life, oral bioavailability) for CWHM-1008 have not been extensively reported. Based on structure-activity relationship studies of the 4-aryl pyrrolidine class, the compound likely has moderate-to-high oral bioavailability (>50%) and a half-life suitable for once-daily dosing in rodents.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
CWHM-1008 has been evaluated in preclinical toxicity studies as part of antimalarial drug development. At efficacious doses (e.g., 10-50 mg/kg orally in mice), the compound is generally well-tolerated without significant body weight loss or overt signs of toxicity. No specific target organ toxicity has been reported at therapeutic exposures. Long-term toxicity studies typical of antimalarial drug development (e.g., 28-day repeat-dose in rodents and dogs) have likely been conducted but are not publicly available. For research use, standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed.
|
| Additional Infomation |
CWHM-1008 represents a novel class of antimalarial agents with activity against multi-drug resistant P. falciparum strains. The compound was identified as a lead candidate from a series of 4-aryl-N-benzylpyrrolidine-3-carboxamides. It is approximately 9.3-fold more potent than chloroquine against the resistant Dd2 strain. CWHM-1008 also exhibits anticancer activity in lung adenocarcinoma cells via inhibition of Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, suggesting potential for repurposing in oncology research. The compound is also known as (+)-54b in the primary literature. It is not approved for human use and is intended for research purposes only.
