Pentafluoro-3-hydroxy-pent-2-en-1-ones Potently Inhibit FNT-Type Lactate Transporters from all Five Human-Pathogenic Plasmodium Species.

Abstract:

:The protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum causes the most severe and prevailing form of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Previously, we identified the plasmodial lactate transporter, PfFNT, a member of the microbial formate-nitrite transporter family, as a novel antimalarial drug target. With the pentafluoro-3-hydroxy-pent-2-en-1-ones, we discovered PfFNT inhibitors that potently kill P. falciparum parasites in vitro. Four additional human-pathogenic Plasmodium species require attention, that is, P. vivax, most prevalent outside of Africa, and the regional P. malariae, P. ovale and P. knowlesi. Herein, we show that the plasmodial FNT variants are highly similar in terms of protein sequence and functionality. The FNTs from all human-pathogenic plasmodia and the rodent malaria parasite were efficiently inhibited by pentafluoro-3-hydroxy-pent-2-en-1-ones. We further established a phenotypic yeast-based FNT inhibitor screen, and found very low compound cytotoxicity and monocarboxylate transporter 1 off-target activity on human cells, particularly of the most potent FNT inhibitor BH267.meta, allowing these compounds to proceed towards animal model malaria studies.
