Spiroindolone
The spiroindolones are an emerging class of antimalarial drugs[1] whose mode of action is to inhibit protein synthesis in the target parasite. In the September 2010 edition of Science, Rottmann et al. reported the development of a successful anti-malarial spiroindolone: NITD609.[2]
- Horsfiline is a spiroindolone it has no antimicrobial activity and instead behaves as a painkiller.
- Rhynchophylline has psychomimetic activities.
- Carapanaubine
