In the present study, 45 maleimides have been synthesized and evaluated for anti-leishmanial activities against L. donovani in vitro and cytotoxicity toward THP1 cells. All compounds exhibited obvious anti-leishmanial activities. Among the tested compounds, there were 10 maleimides with superior anti-leishmanial activities to standard drug amphotericin B, and 32 maleimides with superior anti-leishmanial activities to standard drug pentamidine, especially compounds 16 (IC50 50 50 > 10 μg/mL). The anti-leishmanial activities of 16 and 42 were 10 times better than that of amphotericin B. The structure and activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that 3,4-non-substituted maleimides displayed the strongest anti-leishmanial activities compared to those for 3-methyl-maleimides and 3,4-dichloro-maleimides. 3,4-dichloro-maleimides were the least cytotoxic compared to 3-methyl-maleimides and 3,4-non-substituted maleimides. The results show that several of the reported compounds are promising leads for potential anti-leishmanial drug development.

We synthesized five maleic acid amide derivatives (maleic, citraconic, cis-aconitic, 2-(2′-carboxyethyl) maleic, 1-methyl-2-(2′- carboxyethyl) maleic acid amide), and compared their degradability for the future development of pH-sensitive biomaterials with tailored kinetics of the release of drugs, the change of charge density, and the degradation of scaffolds. The degradation kinetics was highly dependent upon the substituents on the cis-double bond. Among the maleic acid amide derivatives, 2-(2′-carboxyethyl) maleic acid amide with one carboxyethyl and one hydrogen substituent showed appropriate degradability at weakly acidic pH, and the additional carboxyl group can be used as a pH-sensitive linker.
