Using epidrugs to understand the role of epigenetics in artemisinin-induced quiescence in P. falciparum

Malaria is still responsible for 262 million cases and 610,000 fatalities in 2024 according to the World Health Organization (WHO), with 95% of deaths occurring in the African region (WHO). Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to artemisinin has recently been observed in Africa and threatens the efficacy of the artemisinin-based combination therapies, the reference treatment. Artemisinin-resistance is singular, because only a fraction of the parasite population is able to enter quiescence, while the whole population carries a mutation in the molecular marker of resistance kelch13. This suggests that epigenetic regulation may be involved in the preparedness of the parasite to enter quiescence. Using a small library of epidrugs, we’ve shown that inhibitors of histone methylation (BIX-01294 and TM2-115) and histone acetylation (Apicidin, JV1821) are active against quiescent parasites. These inhibitors will help us to decrypt the epigenetic marks and their gene targets that are associated with quiescence, in order to develop new drugs targeting these pathways.

Porous Macroligands for Heterogenized Molecular (Photo)Catalysis

A fruitful strategy in the design of molecularly-defined heterogeneous catalysts is to immobilize isolated active sites within a hosting framework. The integration of the catalytically active centers into a solid support without loss of performance compared to the homogeneous analog is still a major challenge. To change the paradigm of molecular catalytic processes for fine chemical synthesis and green fuel production, we introduced recently the concept of solid porous macroligand for heterogenized molecular catalysis. Having molecularly-defined active sites, porous macroligands have been found to drive the activity and the selectivity of heterogenized catalytic processes on a similar way as molecular ligands but with the advantage of the structuration in a three-dimensional framework and the confinement within a porous nanospace.

We already demonstrated that fully heterogenous systems based on porous organic polymer macroligand displayed high productivity and stability over the time for the CO₂ to formic acid photoreduction.

This highlights the synthetic versatility of porous macroligands, opening pathways for more sustainable molecular catalytic processes and solar fuel production.

With collaborative advances from both molecular and materials science, breakthrough photosystems using porous macroligands for heterogenized molecular catalysis for efficient carbon-based solar fuel production are likely to emerge in the near future.
