Synthesis and antiplasmodial activity of new 4-aryl-2-trichloromethylquinazolines

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Jan 1;18(1):396-401. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.10.027. Epub 2007 Oct 17.

Abstract

A series of original 4-aryl-substituted 2-trichloromethylquinazoline derivatives was synthesized using a microwave-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling approach. Antiplasmodial activity was evaluated on both chloroquino-resistant and -sensitive Plasmodium falciparum strains, and the selectivity indexes for THP1 and HepG2 human cells were also calculated, revealing their antiplasmodial potential.
