Abstract
Emergence of chloroquine (CQ) resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains necessitates discovery of inexpensive antimalarial drugs capable of targeting CQ-resistant strains. Towards this objective, herein we have synthesized and characterized naphthalene-Schiff bases or naphthalene-amine phenols. Among these compounds, 7 demonstrated a significant bioactivity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) of 1.7 microM against CQ-resistant Dd2 strains.Entities:
