Table 3. In Vitro Antiplasmodium and solubility of AST Analogues in SAR 2 (ND, Not Determined).
Mean from n ≥ 2 independent experiments with sensitive (NF54) and multi-drug-resistant (K1) strains of Pf.
Chloroquine (NF54 IC50 = 0.004 μM; K1 IC50 = 0.14 μM) was used as a reference drug for activity.
Resistance index = [PfK1 IC50/PfNF54 IC50].
Solubility, determined using turbidimetric method at pH 7.4. Hydrocortisone (>200 μM) and reserpine (<10 μM) were used as control drugs.
