Bioorg Med Chem. 2016 Aug 15;24(16):3527-39. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2016.05.060. Epub 2016 May 30.

Abstract

Click chemistry technique led to novel 1,2,3-triazole-quinine conjugates 8a-g, 10a-o, 11a-h and 13 utilizing benzotriazole-mediated synthetic approach with excellent yields. Some of the synthesized analogs (11a, 11d-h) exhibited antimalarial properties against Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7 with potency higher than that of quinine (standard reference used) through in vitro standard procedure bio-assay. Statistically significant BMLR-QSAR model describes the bio-properties, validates the observed biological observations and identifies the most important parameters governing bio-activity.

Keywords: Antimalarial; Click chemistry; QSAR; Quinine; Triazole.
