DDD01035881
DDD01035881 is a Plasmodium falciparum Pfs16 inhibitor, with an EC50 of 130 nM for exflagellation of male gametes of Plasmodium falciparum NF54 gametocytes. DDD01035881 stabilizes mature activated male gametocyte Pfs16, mimics the Pfs16-deficient phenotype, blocks the early formation process of male gametes before DNA replication, inhibits exflagellation, and exhibits male-specific activity with no activity against female gametes or asexual malaria parasite stages. DDD01035881 can be used in malaria-related research.

Biological Activity
Racemic DDD01035881 (compound 3) (40 nM - 25 μM; no preincubation; immediate activation of gamete formation) potently inhibits male gamete exflagellation in Plasmodium falciparum NF54 gametocytes with an EC50 of 130 nM, with the (−)-enantiomer being the active form, exhibiting an EC50 of 46 nM[1].
DDD01035881 (2-10 µM; 24-48 h) potently inhibits Plasmodium falciparum male gamete formation with an IC50 of 0.19 µM and completely blocks parasite transmission to Anopheles mosquitoes in direct-mode SMFA at 10 µM[2].
DDD01035881 (10 µM; 24 h) arrests Plasmodium falciparum male gametogenesis at the rounding-up stage, preventing DNA replication and exflagellation when used at 10 µM for 24 h pre-incubation[2].
DDD01035881 (1.41×10-4-25 µM; 72 h)'s sulphonamide group is critical for its male-specific Plasmodium falciparum gamete inhibition activity, while halogenation of a benzene-substituted thiophene R′-group enhances potency, with all active analogues retaining no activity against female gametes[2].
DDD01035881 potently inhibits male gamete formation in Plasmodium falciparum NF54 stage V gametocytes with an IC50 of 292 nM[3].
DDD01035881 (100 μM) stabilises the Pfs16 protein in lysates from activated Plasmodium falciparum NF54 stage V gametocytes, confirming direct target engagement[3].
DDD01035881 (1 nM-100 μM) stabilises the Pfs16 protein in lysates from activated Plasmodium falciparum NF54 stage V gametocytes in a concentration-dependent manner[3].
DDD01035881 (5 μM) reversibly blocks microgametogenesis in Plasmodium falciparum NF54 stage V gametocytes within a 6-minute window post-activation[3].
DDD01035881 (25 μM) does not inhibit sexual conversion or early gametocyte development in Plasmodium falciparum Pf2004/164-tdTomato parasites[3].
DDD01035881 does not disrupt DNA replication or ploidy progression during microgametogenesis in Plasmodium falciparum PfDynGFP/P47mCherry male gametocytes[3].
DDD01035881 (10 μM; 48 h) shows no cytotoxicity against HepG2 human cells[1].
DDD01035881 (3 μM; up to 45 min) has low metabolic stability in mouse liver microsomes, with a half-life of 1.23 min and an intrinsic clearance of 1130 μL/min/mg protein[1].
DDD01035881 has favourable in vitro DMPK properties including high aqueous solubility and negligible metabolism in mouse liver microsomes[2].
