| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To crate the safer antimalarial drugs for the prophylaxis and transmission blocking, we have focused on the type II fatty acid synthetic system of Plasmodium falciparum. The enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (pfFabI) is a key enzyme for the parasite division and proliferation in liver stage parasite before the onset of malaria symptoms such as a fever, anemia and sometime death for its severe. We have carried out the screening to discover pfFabI inhibitors from microbial metabolites, total 14 compounds from microbial metabolites were identified showing pfFabI inhibitory activity with new knowledge. Among them complestatin and chloropeptin I isolated from Streptomyces sp. K12-0828 showed the most potent pfFabI inhibitory activity with the IC50 of 4.8 and 5.8 microM, respectively. Additionally, complestatin and chloropeptin I showed as effective as pfFabI inhitory activity against liver stage malaria parasites that was also new knowledge.
