Antimalarials. 10. Synthesis of 4-substituted primaquine analogues as candidate antimalarials.

Abstract:

:Primaquine (I) has been extensively used in combination with other drugs in the radical cure of relapsing malaria as well as for prophylaxis or the interruption of transmission. This, coupled with the activity data reported for 4-methylprimaquine (II), has led to the synthesis of a series of 14 4-substituted analogues of I. In addition, three side-chain analogues of II were prepared. The compounds were tested for suppressive antimalarial activity against Plasmodium berghei in the Rane mouse screen and for radical curative activity against Plasmodium cynomolgi in the rhesus monkey. Four of the 17 compounds prepared (1a, 9c, 15, and 17) exhibited activity in at least one of the test systems.
