Abstract:
According to the precepts that C-10 amino-artemisinins display optimum biological
activities for the artemisinin drug class, and that attachment of a sugar enhances specificity of drug
delivery, polarity and solubility so as to attenuate toxicity, we assessed the effects of attaching sugars
to N-4 of the dihydroartemisinin (DHA)-piperazine derivative prepared in one step from DHA and
piperazine. N-Glycosylated DHA-piperazine derivatives were obtained according to the Kotchetkov
reaction by heating the DHA-piperazine with the sugar in a polar solvent. Structure of the D-glucose
derivative is secured by X-ray crystallography. The D-galactose, L-rhamnose and D-xylose derivatives
displayed IC50 values of 0.58–0.87 nM against different strains of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf ) and
selectivity indices (SI) >195, on average, with respect to the mouse fibroblast WEHI-164 cell line.
These activities are higher than those of the amino-artemisinin, artemisone (IC50 0.9–1.1 nM). Notably,
the D-glucose, D-maltose and D-ribose derivatives were the most active against the myelogenous
leukemia K562 cell line with IC50 values of 0.78–0.87 M and SI > 380 with respect to the human
dermal fibroblasts (HDF). In comparison, artemisone has an IC50 of 0.26 M, and a SI of 88 with
the same cell lines. Overall, the N-glycosylated DHA-piperazine derivatives display antimalarial
activities that are greatly superior to O-glycosides previously obtained from DHA.
