Abstract

A new therapeutic approach to malaria led to the discovery of ferroquine (FQ, SR97276). To assess the importance of the linkage of the ferrocenyl group to a 4-aminoquinoline scaffold, two series of 4-aminoquinolines, structurally related to FQ, were synthesized. Evaluation of antimalarial activity, physicochemical parameters, and the beta-hematin inhibition property indicate that the ferrocene moiety has to be covalently flanked by a 4-aminoquinoline and an alkylamine. Current data reinforced our choice of FQ as a drug candidate.
