Application

Amodiaquine (AQ) is currently used in combination with Artesunate (AS) as first-line treatment for some cases of falciparum malaria (UM) in many countries. AQ is metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) to Desethylamodiaquine (DAQ; DEAQ; NADQ; Ndes-amo), which is subsequently eliminated via extra-hepatic biotransformation by CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. DEAQ is responsible for the pharmacological activity of AQ (both therapeutic and toxicity) due to its long elimination half-life.

Studies aimed at repurposing existing drugs revealed that some antimalarial compounds possess anti-Zika virus (anti-ZIKV) activity. Here, we further tested 14 additional antimalarial drugs and their metabolites or analogs for anti-ZIKV activity using a phenotypic screening approach. We identified four
