Novel and potent anti-malarial agents

Bioorg Med Chem. 2002 Nov;10(11):3649-61. doi: 10.1016/s0968-0896(02)00207-9.

Abstract

Readily accessible, novel, and potent anti-malarial compounds have been developed. Optimization of the initial lead structure resulted in derivatives with IC50 values from 7 to 35 nM against chloroquine-sensitive and 70-350 nM against chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum.
