title: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel bicyclic beta-lactams as potential antimalarials.
abstract: A series of bicyclic N-substituted and unsubstituted beta-lactams were synthesized and evaluated as targeted potential antimalarials. The compounds MNR4 and MNR5 were found to have highest potency against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro.
