Thiyl Radicals in Organic Synthesis

TL;DR: The thiol−olefin cooxidation process was applied to the total synthesis of antimalarial agent yingzhaosu A and was extended to include the more challenging 1,5-dienes, from which six-membered ring endoperoxides can be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Artemisinin: mechanisms of action, resistance and toxicity.

TL;DR: At high doses, artemisinin can be neurotoxic but toxicity has not been found in clinical studies, and the mechanism of neurotoxicity may be similar to the mechanisms of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimalarial chemotherapeutic peroxides: artemisinin, yingzhaosu A and related compounds.

TL;DR: This review summarises recent achievements in this area of peroxide drug development for malaria chemotherapy in Mechanism-based rational design and gram-scale chemical synthesis.

Synthesis of heterocycles by radical cyclisation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the work of Perkin Trans. Soc., J. Chem. Trans. 1, 2000, 1, 1], 1.
Journal ArticleDOI

A short synthesis and biological evaluation of potent and nontoxic antimalarial bridged bicyclic beta-sulfonyl-endoperoxides.

TL;DR: In vivo testing of a few selected peroxides against Plasmodium berghei N indicates that the antimalarial efficacies of beta-sulfonyl peroxide 39a, 46a,46b, and 50a are comparable to those of some of the best antimalaria drugs and are higher than artemisinin against chloroquine-resistant Plas modium yoelii ssp.

Antimalarial Activity of Artemisinin (Qinghaosu) and Related Trioxanes: Mechanism (s) of Action

TL;DR: The developing understanding is the mechanism of action in which the endoperoxide linkage is a trigger, activated by iron-induced reduction inside the malaria parasite that releases a cascade of reactive intermediates that ultimately cause fatal damage to the parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is alkylation the main mechanism of action of the antimalarial drug artemisinin

TL;DR: The characterization of a covalent artemisinin-heme model adduct supports the role of C-centered radicals generated by the reductive activation of the peroxidic bond of this class of drugs.
