Synthesis of 2-[3,5-substituted pyrazol-1-yl]-4,6-trisubstituted triazine derivatives as antimalarial agents.

A series of 22 compounds were synthesized and screened against Plasmodium falciparum NF-54 strain. Of the screened compounds, 6 compounds showed MIC in the range between 1 and 2 microg/mL. These compounds are 32 times more potent than the cycloguanil which was used as the standard drug.
