title: Application of multi-component reactions to antimalarial drug discovery. Part 1: Parallel synthesis and antiplasmodial activity of new 4-aminoquinoline Ugi adducts.
abstract: The synthesis of a new class of Ugi adducts incorporating the 4-aminoquinoline moiety is described. The novel compounds are active against both chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum with the best compound showing an IC(50) value of 73 nM against a resistant K1 strain.
