I think it might make sense to synthesise the CF3 analog of MMV670652 so that we could directly compare both racemic mixtures and the separated enantiomers.
Need to perform literature search/appeal for best methods for introduction of a CF3 group.
This makes a lot of sense, yes. Do we know that the des(difluoromethyl), i.e. the alcohol, is inactive? That a group is needed there? Here's the comparison with other compounds, including a related alcohol.
Note I can't be sure the R = H and R = CF3 have not been made since I'm not confident in the SMILES search I've done of the spreadsheet, see http://malaria.ourexperiment.org/the_osm_blog/8550 for that story.
Update: still no compound made with CF3 on the northwest ether.
A compound with CH3 there has been made (OSM-S-265) and was potent: http://malaria.ourexperiment.org/biological_data/11216/Evaluation_of_Latest_Series_4_Analogs_in_Ether_and_Amide_Series.html ...as was MMV669844, also with CH3 in that position.
A compound with CF3 in the northeast has also been made and was active - same link as above, OSM-S-271.
Is this issue still pertinent @mattodd ?
@PaulWillisMMV searched the triazolopyrazines and found that no trifluoromethyl analogs existed in the data set. It seems important/interesting to probe the activity of a CF3 analog to compare activity with CHF2 compounds.
