Synthesis of 4-aminoquinoline-1,2,3-triazole and 4-aminoquinoline-1,2,3-triazole-1,3,5-triazine hybrids as potential antimalarial agents.

We report herein synthesis of a series of 4-aminoquinoline-1,2,3-triazole and 4-aminoquinoline-1,2,3-triazole-1,3,5-triazine hybrids and evaluate their antimalarial activity against D6 and W2 strains of Plasmodium falciparum. To study the structure-activity relationship of substituted 4-aminoquinoline-based hybrids, 34 structurally diverse compounds were synthesized and tested against D6 and W2 strains of P. falciparum. Some of the compounds have shown promising antimalarial activity without toxicity against Vero cells.
