Virtual ligand screening of a publicly available database of antimalarial hits using a pharmacophore derived from antimalarial MMV008138 identified TCMDC-140230, a tetrahydro-β-carboline amide, as worthy of exploration. All four stereoisomers of this structure were synthesized, but none potently inhibited growth of the malaria parasite . Interestingly, , a minor byproduct of these syntheses, proved to be potent against and was orally efficacious (40 mg/kg) in an mouse model of malaria.
