Malaria
masih merupakan salah satu penyakit berjangkit yang utama di kawasan beriklim
tropika. Pelbagai ubat antimalaria telah diperkenalkan sebelum ini seperti
klorokuina, primakuina dan artemisinin. Namun, keberkesanan ubat antimalaria
menjadi rumit disebabkan oleh penyebaran parasit Plasmodium yang ada
kerintangan terhadap ubat sedia ada. Oleh demikian, penerokaan kompleks logam
salofen berasaskan ligan bes Schiff yang berpotensi sebagai agen antimalaria
dijalankan. Empat ligan berasaskan salofen a-d dan lapan kompleks logam salofen 1a-4a dan 1b-4b telah disintesis melalui tindak
balas kondensasi bes Schiff. Aktiviti antimalaria sebatian ini telah diuji
dengan asai Plasmodium laktat dehidrogenase terhadap Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 yang menunjukkan bahawa 1a, 3a dan 4b masing-masing (IC50 = 14.74, 19.38 dan 12.13 µM) mempunyai kesan
perencatan aktif terhadap parasit secara in vitro. Analisis dok molekul
mendedahkan bahawa sebatian 1a, 3a dan 4b menunjukkan nilai pengikatan yang baik pada protein PfDHFR-TS iaitu
nilai masing-masing adalah -9.7, -8.9 dan -9.5 kcal. mol-1. Tambahan
pula, simulasi dinamik molekul mendedahkan bahawa sebatian 1a dan 3a ditempatkan di dalam poket reseptor protein dengan sebatian dikelilingi oleh
beberapa permukaan berpolar. Bagaimanapun, sebatian 4b membentuk sistem kompleks reseptor-ligan dengan konformasi yang paling stabil
apabila kompleks diletakkan di dalam poket reseptor hidrofobik. Oleh itu, PfDHFR-TS
dianggap sebagai sasaran protein parasit yang khusus untuk kompleks logam
salofen. Kesimpulannya, kompleks logam salofen didapati mempunyai potensi
tinggi untuk dibangunkan sebagai agen antimalaria dan mampu menjadi struktur
templat kepada pembentukan ubat antimalaria bagi melawan kes kerintangan.

Abstract
Malaria is still one of the
main infectious diseases in tropical climates. Various antimalarial drugs have
been introduced before, such as chloroquine, primaquine, and artemisinin.
However, the effectiveness of antimalarial drugs is complicated by the spread
of Plasmodium parasites’s resistance. This study was carried out to
explore metal complexes based on Schiff base ligands with good potential as
antimalarial agents. Four salophen-based ligands a-d, and eight salophen
metal complexes 1a-4a and 1b-4b were synthesized via Schiff base
condensation reaction. Antimalarial properties of these compounds were
investigated by plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase assay against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7, which showed that 1a, 3a, and 4bpossessed active parasite inhibitory effect in vitro study (IC50:
14.74, 19.38, and 12.13 µM, respectively). Molecular docking analysis showed
that compounds 1a, 3a, and 4b showed good binding affinity
values, i.e. -9.7, -8.9, and -9.5 kcal/mol on PfDHFR-TS. Furthermore, the
molecular simulations showed that 1a and 3a accommodated in the
receptor’s pocket where some polar surfaces surrounded the compounds. However, 4b built the highest conformational stable
receptor-ligand complex system when positioned in the receptor’s hydrophobic
pocket. Thus, PfDHFR-TS is a specific parasite protein target for the
salophen metal complex. In conclusion, this study found that the salophen metal
complex has a high potential to be developed as an antimalarial agent and can
be a template structure for forming antimalarial drugs to fight resistance
cases.
