4,5-Disubstituted primaquine analogues as potential antimalarial agents

J Med Chem. 1986 Sep;29(9):1796-8. doi: 10.1021/jm00159a042.

Abstract

Three 4,5-disubstituted primaquine analogues were synthesized and evaluated for radical curative activity against Plasmodium cynomolgi in rhesus monkeys. One of the compounds showed moderate activity; however, none of the three compounds were as active as the lead compounds 5-methoxy-4-methylprimaquine and 4-(methoxy-methyl)-5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine.
