The identification, structure–activity relationships (SARs), and biological effects of new antimalarials consisting of a 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-β-carboline core, a coumarin ring, and an oxyalkanoyl linker are described. A cell-based phenotypic approach was employed in this search for novel antimalarial drugs with unique modes of action. Our screening campaign of the RIKEN compound library succeeded in the identification of the known tetrahydro-β-carboline derivative (4e) as a hit compound showing significantin vitroactivity. SAR studies on this chemical series led to the discovery of compound4hhaving a (R)-methyl group on the oxyacetyl linker with potent inhibition of parasite growth (IC50= 2.0 nM). Compound4hwas also found to exhibit significantin vivoantimalarial effects in mouse models. Furthermore, molecular modeling studies on4e,4h, and its diastereomer (4j) suggested that the (R)-methyl group of4hforces the preferential adoption of a specific conformer which is considered to be an active conformer.
