2-Amino-4-(3,5-diacetylphenyl)amino-l,6-dimethylpyrimidinium chloride (CNI-H0294) is a novel arylene bis(methylketone) compound that displays antimalarial activity against chloroquine- and pyrimethamine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum clones. The compound has been found to be concentrated into infected erythrocytes, with 80–179 μM accumulated when parasites were cultured in the presence of 1.0 μM CNI-H0294-Uninfected erythrocytes, in contrast, only accumulated 2.5–3.4 μM CNI-H0294 under identical conditions. Using postmitochondrial supernatants from a number of parasite clones, the compound was found to inhibit dihydrofolate reductase (EC 1.5.1.3) activity with an IC50of 243–483 μM. Thus, while CNI-H0294 is not a powerful inhibitor of plasmodial dihydrofolate reductase, the accumulation of the compound into infected erythrocytes, when correlated to the external ED50concentration against parasite growth in vitro, reaches concentrations sufficient to inhibit the malarial enzyme.
