A nuclear magnetic resonance study of the interactions of antimalarial drugs with porphyrins.

Abstract

Haematins (hydroxyferriprotoporphyrin IX) constitute a possible receptor for antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine or quinine. This paper reports the study of the interactions of these two molecules with two tetrapyrrole (haematin and uroporphyrin I) by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. This method provided us with the geometry of the interactions in aqueous medium. The interaction consists of a close stacking of the porphyrin ring and the quinoleine moiety of the drugs. Using a porphyrin ring current model it was possible to reach the spatial relationships of the interacting species. It was concluded that hydrophobic forces play a key role in the interaction. The porphyrin plane can accommodate wide structural variations of the interacting species, leading to a weak specificity. The consequences on the mode of action of antimalarial drugs are discussed.
