Abstract

A new series of compounds was prepared from 6-methoxyquinolin-8-amine or its N-(2-aminoethyl) analogue via Ugi-azide reaction. Their linkers between the quinoline and the tert-butyltetrazole moieties differ in chain length, basicity and substitution. Compounds were tested for their antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum NF54 as well as their cytotoxicity against L-6-cells. The activity and the cytotoxicity were strongly influenced by the linker and its substitution. The most active compounds showed good activity and promising selectivity.
