Two new series of symmetric acyclic nucleoside bisphosphonates (ANbPs) have been synthesised as potential inhibitors of the Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and vivax (Pv) 6-oxopurine phosphoribosyltransferases. The structural variability between these symmetric ANbPs lies in the number of atoms in the two acyclic linkers connecting the N9 atom of the purine base to each of two phosphonate groups and the branching point of the acyclic moiety relative to the purine base, which occurs at either the alpha or beta positions. Within each series, six different 6-oxopurine bases have been attached. In general, the ANbPs with either guanine or hypoxanthine have lower Ki values than for those containing either the 8-bromo or 7-deaza 6-oxopurine bases. The lowest Ki values obtained for the two parasite enzymes were 0.1?μM (Pf) and 0.2?μM (Pv) for this series of compounds. Two phosphoramidate prodrugs of these inhibitors exhibited antimalarial activity against Pf in infected erythrocyte cell culture with IC50 values of 0.8 and 1.5?μM. These two compounds exhibited low cytotoxicity in human A549 cells having CC50 values of >300?μM resulting in an excellent selectivity index.

This paper examines the effects of four different polar headgroups on small-ion membrane permeability from liposomes comprised of Archaea-inspired glycerolmonoalkyl glycerol tetraether (GMGT) lipids. We found that the membrane-leakage rate across GMGT lipid membranes varied by a factor of ≤1.6 as a function of headgroup structure. However, the leakage rates of small ions across membranes comprised of commercial bilayer-forming 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol (PO) lipids varied by as much as 32-fold within the same series of headgroups. These results demonstrate that membrane leakage from GMGT lipids is less influenced by headgroup structure, making it possible to tailor the structure of the polar headgroups on GMGT lipids while retaining predictable leakage properties of membranes comprised of these tethered lipids. Extremophiles require robust membranes with low ion permeability to survive in harsh conditions. These Archaea organisms achieve low membrane permeability, in part, by generating lipids with unusual structural features such as tethering of their lipid tails. A systematic study probing the effect of polar headgroups in synthetic Archaea-inspired lipids showed little dependence of membrane leakage rates of small ions as a function of headgroup structure.
