ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0968-0896(03)00233-5 | Abstract: | A series of oxygenated chalcones which have been evaluated earlier for antimalarial activity (Plasmodium falciparum K1) were tested for antileishmanial activity against Leishmania donovani amastigotes. A comparison of structure-activity relationships reveal that different physicochemical and structural requirements exist for these two activities. Antileishmanial activity is associated with less lipophilic chalcones, in particular those with 4′-hydroxyl-substituted B rings and hetero/polyaromatic A rings. In contrast, chalcones with good antimalarial activity have alkoxylated B rings and electron-deficient A rings. Visualization of the steric and electrostatic fields generated from comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) indicate that the ring A of chalcones make a more significant contribution to antileishmanial activity while both rings A and B are important for antimalarial activity. Despite different requirements, two alkoxylated chalcones (8, 19) were identified which combined good antimalarial and antileishmanial activities. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
