Abstract

The antiprotozoal activity of 1-benzyltetrahydropyridin-4-yliden iminium salts is reported. This paper describes the preparation of a series of analogs from dihydropyridines or dihydrothiopyrans as educts. The new compounds were investigated for their activity against Plasmodium falciparum NF54, a causative organism of Malaria tropica and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the causative organism of Human African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). Several structure–activity relationships were detected. Both the substituents in ring positions 1 and 4 of the tetrahydropyridinium moiety had a strong impact on the antiprotozoal activities as well as on the cytotoxicity of compounds against L-6 cells (rat skeletal myoblasts). All new compounds were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, HRMS, and NMR spectroscopy. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
