Prodiginines are a family of linear and cyclic oligopyrrole red-pigmented compounds. Herein we describe the in vitro antimalarial activity of four natural (IC50 = 1.7-8.0 nM) and three sets of synthetic prodiginines against Plasmodium falciparum. Set 1 compounds replaced the terminal nonalkylated pyrrole ring of natural prodiginines and had diminished activity (IC 50 > 2920 nM). Set 2 and set 3 prodiginines were monosubstituted or disubstituted at either the 3 or 5 position of the right-hand terminal pyrrole, respectively. Potent in vitro activity (IC50 = 0.9-16.0 nM) was observed using alkyl or aryl substituents. Metacycloprodiginine and more potent synthetic analogues were evaluated in a P. yoelii murine patent infection using oral administration. Each analogue reduced parasitemia by more than 90% after 25 (mg/kg)/day dosing and in some cases provided a cure. The most favorable profile was 92% parasite reduction at 5 (mg/kg)/day, and 100% reduction at 25 (mg/kg)/day without any evident weight loses or clinical overt toxicity.

Various bipyrryl analogues of bifonazole were synthesized starting from aryl-3-pyrryl-1-imidazolylmethanes. The introduction of a second pyrryl portion was performed by linking an acrylate moiety at 1-position of the pyrrole ring and then by treatment with TosMIC. The bipyrryl esters were hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to afford the required imidazoles. All new imidazole derivatives were tested against Candida albicans and Candida spp using as standard controls miconazole, bifonazole and ketoconazole.

The preparative value of the 1-(phenylsulfonyl) N-blocking and directing group for the synthesis of 3-acylpyrroles has been further evaluated.Acetylation and benzoylation are strongly regiospecific and give good yields.However, the regiospecificity is not general and other substitution reactions give mixtures of 2- and 3-substitution or even mostly 2-substitution.Friedel and Crafts tert-butylation gives 3-tert-butyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrrole and provides a useful route to tert-butylpyrrole, but ethylation and isopropylation give mixtures.Acylations of 2- and 3-alkyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrroles show little evidence of useful regiospecificity.
