Abstract
Photooxidation of primaquine (1) and 5-hydroxyprimaquine (5) afforded a blue dye for which o-quinone structure 4 was elaborated. Similar oxidation of N-ethoxyacetylprimaquine (10) afforded o-quinone 11. Tissue schizontocidal activity of 4 and 11, and bisquinolylmethine 3 prepared earlier, showed that none of them had noteworthy antimalarial activity, but all three produced methemoglobin.Entities:
