Abstract

ABSTRACTThe antimalarial trioxaquine derivative DU-1102, synthesized by covalent linkage between aminoquinoline and trioxane moieties, was highly active against Cameroonian isolates (mean 50% inhibitory concentration of 43 nmol/liter) of Plasmodium falciparum. There was no correlation between the responses to DU-1102 and chloroquine and only a low correlation between the responses to DU-1102 and pyrimethamine, suggesting an independent mode of action of the trioxaquine against the parasites.
