title: Exploiting a basic chemosensitizing pharmacophore hypothesis. Part 1: synthesis and biological evaluation of novel arylbromide and bicyclic chemosensitizers against drug-resistant malaria parasites.
abstract: An exploratory series of novel arylbromide and bicyclic chemosensitizers (modulators) against chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum were designed and synthesized on the basis of a basic chemosensitizing pharmacophore hypothesis in malaria. ortho-Substituted bromo and biphenyl ether compounds displayed the best activity from the series.
