Quinoxaline-based inhibitors of malarial protease PfSUB1

Abstract

2,3-Bis(phenylamino)quinoxalines have been identified as a novel class of malarial protease PfSUB1 inhibitors by screening of Malaria Box compounds. The synthesis of analog series and investigation of their inhibitory activity provided preliminary structure-activity relationship to create in silico models for binding of these compounds into the active site of PfSUB1.
