title: Syntheses of 9-acridine- and 2-phenanthridinemethanols as potential antimalarials.
abstract: alpha-(1-Piperidinylmethyl)-9-acridinemethanol (3), alpha-[(dibutylamino)ethyl]-9-acridanmethanol (4a), and alpha-[(dibutylamino)methyl]-2-phenanthridinemethanol (5) have been made and all are ineffective as antimalarials against Plasmodium berghei in mice. 9-Acridinyloxirane showed no significant mutagenicity for strains TA 98 or TA 100 of Salmonella typhimurium.
