Potential Antimalarials. XXI. Mannich Base Derivatives of 4-[7-Chloro(and 7-trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-ylamino]phenols

Abstract

Syntheses are reported for 4-(7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)-2,6-bis(piperidin-1-ylmethyl)phenol (2) and its 3-fluoro and 3-piperidinyl derivatives. Some mono-Mannich analogues with 2-fluoro, 2-t-butyl and 3-trifluoromethyl substituents have also been prepared. In tests for antimalarial activity against the FC-27 and K-1 isolates of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro, compound (2) proved to be the most active (IC50 6.3-12.5 nM).
