dc.descriptionAs etiological agents of malaria disease, Plasmodium spp. parasites are responsible for one of the most severe global health problems occurring in tropical regions of the world. This work involved compiling marine cyanobacteria metabolites reported in the scientific literature that exhibit antiplasmodial activity. Out of the 111 compounds mined and 106 tested, two showed antiplasmodial activity at very low concentrations, with IC50 at 0.1 and 1.5 nM (peptides: dolastatin 10 and lyngbyabellin A, 1.9% of total tested). Examples of chemical derivatives generated from natural cyanobacterial compounds to enhance antiplasmodial activity and Plasmodium selectivity can be found in successful findings from nostocarboline, eudistomin, and carmaphycin derivatives, while bastimolide derivatives have not yet been found. Overall, 57% of the reviewed compounds are peptides with modified residues producing interesting active moieties, such as α- and β-epoxyketone in camaphycins. The remaining compounds belong to diverse chemical groups such as alkaloids, macrolides, polycyclic compounds, and halogenated compounds. The Dolastatin 10 and lyngbyabellin A, compounds with antiplasmodial high activity, are cytoskeletal disruptors with different protein targets.
