Resumo

Objetivo: Avaliar a atividade desses compostos nas formas sexuadas do Plasmodium falciparum e determinar as propriedades farmacocinéticas teóricas dos compostos utilizando ensaios in silico. Métodos: Para a avaliação da inibição das formas exflagelantes foi utilizada a cepa de Plasmodium falciparum NF54 para a produção de gametócitos in vitro. Para os testes in silico foi utilizado o programa ADMETlab buscando identificar as propriedades farmacocinéticas teóricas de todos os compostos. Resultados: A série de amidas naturais e sintéticas testadas não se destacaram como possíveis bloqueadores de transmissão da malária. Porém, mostraram inibição moderada no bloqueio da exflagelação. Os resultados do screening virtual permitiram conhecer e explorar as propriedades farmacocinéticas teóricas interessantes dessa classe de compostos, como a permeabilidade moderada as células Caco-2 do composto 14f; as substâncias mostram-se nocivas mais não letais (DL50); somente o composto 14f pode causar algum dano ao fígado (LHID); os compostos 1a, 1b, 1g e 1k podem ser administrados na sua dosagem máxima diária, observando sempre a toxicidade; baixa taxa de eliminação (CL); alta ligação a proteínas plasmáticas para os compostos 1a, 14f e 18a; volume de distribuição ideal para 1b, 1g, 1k, 18a e 18b. Considerações finais: Os resultados obtidos contribuem para aumentar o banco de dados sobre o perfil dessa classe de compostos e a ação antimalárica.
