Blocking the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis offers new ways to inhibit the growth of Plasmodium spp. Fosmidomycin [(3-(N-hydroxyformamido)propyl)phosphonic acid] and its acetyl homolog, FR-900098 [(3-(N-hydroxyacetamido)propyl)phosphonic acid], potently inhibit 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase, a key enzyme in this biosynthetic pathway. Here, arylpropyl substituents were introduced at the β-position of the hydroxamate analog of FR-900098 to study changes in lipophilicity, as well as electronic and steric properties. The potency of several new compounds on the P. falciparum enzyme approached that of fosmidomycin and FR-900098. Activities against the enzyme and parasite correlated well, supporting the mode of action. Seven x-ray structures showed that all of the new arylpropyl substituents displaced a key Trp residue of the active site flap, which had made favorable interactions with fosmidomycin and FR-900098. The plasticity of the flap allowed substituents to be accommodated in many ways; in most cases, the flap was largely disordered. The prepared compounds could be separated into 2 classes based on whether the substituent on the aromatic ring was at the meta or para position. Generally, meta-substituted compounds were better inhibitors, and in both classes, smaller size was linked to better potency.
